Why? Don't men just use them for a wank? Like a dildo but bigger.

YABU. A new level of prudery when we start legislating for people's fantasies and sex toys.

Have you read the article?
Many of these dolls end up mutilated, maimed, some are ordered to specifically have the face of an actual existing person

I did read it, but i don't really see what outlawing cruelty to dolls will achieve. People will still have the fantasies - the dolls are not the cause of it. And I do think that policing people's fantasies is a little bit odd.

But this is worrying.
A wank isn’t good enough, so they watch porn which is increasingly violent . That isn’t scratching the itch, so interactive sites. That’s not good enough, so now there’s dolls which can be maimed, bruised and made to look like a person. This is worrying

beigepaints · 30/08/2026 17:17

I think it’s disturbing

oatsotoga · 30/08/2026 17:48

I think its deeply concerning. Ordering a sex doll to look like someone specific, with bruising and then to dispose of you can 'act out your chainsaw massacre fantasy'.

LaurieFairyCake · 30/08/2026 17:52

All of this, porn, dolls etc is incredibly damaging on the psyche.

How is anyone going to have a healthy relationship with a real person once they’ve mutilated a doll that looks like a person?

ExtraOnions · 30/08/2026 17:53

Men are so vile … is there no level they won’t stoop to in order to empty their Balls?

Better than an actual woman being mutilated and maimed though surely?

JuliettaCaeser · 30/08/2026 18:03

We need a matriarchy asap. Women aren’t perfect but can’t see this happening the other way round. Women buying teenage boy
dolls to beat up. Wouldn’t happen.

murasaki · 30/08/2026 18:04

I think it's deeply disturbing that they act out violence on these dolls that they would like to act out on real human women. They banned the importation of child sex dolls for a reason, that it would normalise behaviour that would then get acted out in the real world, so.....

Gateway drug. Normalising the behaviour. Unacceptable.

I don't think there's evidence to say whether your version is correct or that of @Coldwetlettuce. There is certainly decades of research that as violence in video games has boomed levels of youth violence in developed countries has generally declined.

murasaki · 30/08/2026 18:33

S0 why did sex dolls in child form get banned then?

Could say the same about those ridiculous tentacle dildos that are available. It’s a product designed for use in a sexual way just like these dolls.

Women stoop to such low levels to get off that a 2ft alien tentacle dildo is the most sold “toy” on a certain website. Is that vile? Or is it only men that are vile when they partake in a sexual fantasy?

GingerBeverage · 30/08/2026 18:39

It’s telling that the company, Coeros, that offers to make doll heads based on photos of real women is hiding the identities of the company owners.

If this is all fine and wholesome, then why aren’t they on LinkedIn.

Beigebeig · 30/08/2026 18:41

I clicked on this thinking my answer would be no but I think that there is a lot of evidence that porn use escalates so men start wanking to normal porn but then become numb to it so then start watching rough sex and then become numb to it and so on and so on until it ends up with watching illegal porn over time.

Stands to reason that the same is likely to occur if a man is given a very realistic doll he can do what he likes too.

Sadly it would be impossible to ban or regulate so it won't happen but I think it is an unhealthy thing to have freely on the market and with time they will become cheaper and cheaper and more realistic.

Won't be long before there will be the first stories of serial killers who started with dolls and then graduated to real women.

Well if I was a 2ft alien with tentacles I might be a bit concerned that women were sending off photos of me, and asking for me to programmed to be submissie. Especially if bruises were added.

But otherwise i dont think its quite the same.

Men who get enjoyment from beating up a doll will not be less of a risk because of it.

I think if it conclusively reduced instances of CSA it would be hard not to do so?
