In the future, owning a physical doll will no longer be considered unusual or taboo, and discussing it will no longer be a surprising topic. Many may disagree with this statement, but history has shown that societal attitudes and industry norms change over time, and we can also look at additional context to support this idea.
Adult toys have been used as sexual aids for thousands of years. Thankfully, they have undergone significant improvements since they were created thousands of years ago. Over the past 50 years, this industry that provides a wide range of sexual assistance has grown.
Decades ago, when solid dolls first appeared, they were considered taboo. Today, it has come to be considered an appropriate and acceptable way of self-gratification, as it should have been.
Sexual attitudes and industry norms have evolved.
In the 1990s, purchasing adult products was considered highly unusual. Decades ago, it seemed as if even owning a simple supply was scandalous. But today, owning it is no more common than having an alarm clock next to your bed. The same applies to solid dolls, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that if you owned one fifty or sixty years ago, the police would probably raid, arrest you, and confiscate the solid doll. While there were no laws against owning a physical doll at the time, it probably would have happened and while it would have been acquitted, it would have seemed like it would have forever been looked at askance by those around you and labelled as deviant.
In the 80‘s and 90’s, solid dolls began to be seen as harmless and fun by most people. While they may not have been fully accepted, there has been a significant decrease in negative labelling such as ‘perverted’ and ‘disgusting’. Nowadays, these dolls occasionally appear in college dormitories as a source of mischief, and perceptions of physical dolls have begun to change from nasty to funny.
Currently, solid dolls are not as widely accepted as other types of paraphernalia. Until people can openly engage with solid dolls without judgement, they remain a lingering stigma in some people’s minds. However, as solid dolls continue to be accepted, society has become more open-minded about these products, and this trend is expected to continue.
