Significant evidence that dolls prevent abuse

A new study published a few days ago provides probably the strongest evidence to date that sex dolls can and do serve as an alternative sexual outlet and likely prevent abuse.

The study

From the abstract:

pedo-hebephilic participants more often reported acting out of illegal [if they were not fantasies] sexual fantasies with their dolls and a loss of interest in (sexual) intimacy with real children through doll use

dolls may be used as a sexual outlet for potentially dangerous and illegal [if they were not fantasies] (sexual) fantasies

Found a new study that’s been making headwinds as of late.

ABSTRACT

It is a growing concern that the use of sex dolls and robots could affect human sexuality. This concern has led to a ban of child-like sex dolls in several countries and a call to ban adult-like sex dolls and robots by some scholars. However, empirical data is largely missing supporting this claim. Here, we present retrospective self-reported quantitative and qualitative data of a large sample (N = 224, 90.5% men, Mean age = 31 years, SD = 14.2) of teleiophilic (i.e., sexual orientation toward adults) and pedo-hebephilic participants. Using an online survey, we found that users reported an overall reduction in sexuality-related behaviors (e.g., porn consumption or visiting of sex workers) in response to doll ownership. Users in a relationship with a human were less affected by doll use, while those in a relationship with a doll reported greater effects. Interestingly, pedo-hebephilic users reported a greater reduction of sexual compulsivity compared to teleiophilic participants following doll use. Additionally, pedo-hebephilic participants more often reported acting out of illegal sexual fantasies with their dolls and a loss of interest in (sexual) intimacy with real children through doll use in the qualitative data. These self-reported data challenge the view that doll use is dangerously affecting human sexuality and instead suggest that dolls may be used as a sexual outlet for potentially dangerous and illegal (sexual) fantasies.
