I was recently watching a documentary about the history of sex dolls when I got curious and wondered who had invented them. After doing some research, I discovered why I thought I could find out who invented them. And boy, was I surprised! It turns out that sex dolls have a surprisingly long history, dating back thousands of years.
Did you know that the first sex dolls were made over twenty-five centuries ago? Yes, these dolls were created from wood and Penis Rings wax by ancient Greeks and Romans. It seems they were used mainly for religious rites and opinions, and of course, sexual pleasure. Unfortunately, the primitive dolls weren’t very lifelike and couldn’t date back to the modern day.
Then many centuries later, in the 1500s, European sailors started to make dolls from dried leather and sacks of hay. The dolls had simple features like eyes, nose, dildos and a mouth. The dolls were called ‘mannikins’ and were made for entertainment, but I bet you could guess what else they were used for. The sailors filled their mannikins with sawdust! These dolls were used not only to provide companionship during long voyages but of course sexual pleasure as well.
By 1700, sex dolls had been developed even further. They were made of materials like wood, cloth, and metal. If you think that’s surprising, you’d be even more surprised to know that many of the dolls even had ‘interior organs’ like internal organs prototype. But the materials they were made of were so crude, so it isn’t likely that these anatomical ‘organs’ were anywhere near as lifelike as they are today.
By the 1900s, scientists and inventors had developed sex dolls made of rubber, which were much more realistic, although still far from what they are today. During World War II, they were used to treat soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. After the war, they became popular for sexual pleasure.
The world’s first silicone sex doll was made in Japan in the late 1990s and since then the industry has taken off. The current owners of the sex doll industry have started producing incredibly life-like dolls that incorporate cutting-edge technologies like AI (artificial intelligence) sensors. And have you ever heard of bespoke dolls? Yes, there are companies that will make you a doll that looks exactly like you!
Now the question is, who exactly invented the modern-day sex doll? The truth is that we simply don’t know. Today, sex dolls are made by companies all over the world and the technology behind them is increasingly sophisticated. We would love to know who the pioneering inventors were, but unfortunately, it is likely that we will never find out. All we can do is marvel at the progress that has been made in the industry over the past few decades.
In all, sex dolls have come a long way since the ancient Greeks. While they have sometimes been used for unsavoury purposes, it is clear that they can offer companionship and sexual pleasure. And I’m sure that as the industry continues to advance and innovate, we’ll see even more amazing inventions in the future.
