The past, present, and future of the development of physical dolls may enter thousands of households

In the modern society with the support of technology, changes are constantly changing, and products are also changing at a great speed. Even the manufacturing of physical dolls has made tremendous progress. The simple and even slightly comical inflatable dolls that everyone has seen on the internet have actually been phased out by the market for a long time, but what about earlier? How many people can know where they come from and where they will go in the future? Today's article editor will take you into the past and present lives of physical dolls.

 

According to real historical records, in the 17th century, sailors often made a type of sex doll out of fabric or leather. It was called "dam de voyage" in French and "dama de viaje" in Spanish, and in Japan they were also known as "Dutch wives".

 

This doll has a rough appearance and is made of fabric, filled with hay, seaweed, or feathers. Because Dutch sailors can easily feel lonely and sexually demanding during long voyages, they use this doll to address their mental and physical needs.

 

The most well-known inflatable doll appeared in the late 1930s, during World War II. Hitler aimed to prevent German soldiers from having sexual relations with women in invaded areas, prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and reduce the combat effectiveness of the army. Command the subordinates to secretly develop a doll with a physiological structure similar to that of a woman, and demand that "she must possess all the sexy looks that a young woman possesses".

 

However, due to the Allied bombing of Dresden, the location of the inflatable doll processing factory, this plan was considered the top secret and was stillborn. Afterwards, the United States replicated this plan during the Vietnam War, providing a large number of inflatable dolls for frontline American soldiers. But this type of inflatable doll is cheap in cost, and the product effect is not satisfactory. There are edges and corners in some parts of the body and face, which have poor hand feel, and serious deformation can occur due to joint bending.

 

The commercialization of modern sex dolls in Germany did not officially begin until the 1950s. In August 1955, Max Weissbrodt of O&M Hausser launched the world's first batch of sex dolls, based on the sexy and straightforward cartoon character Lily. Its advertising flyers were distributed to adult men in red light areas and sold in bars, tobacco stores, and other places.

 

Around 1968, the sale of pornography by mail began to legalize in the United States, and advertisements for sex dolls first appeared in pornographic magazines. In the 1970s, advertisements for inflatable dolls appeared in almost every adult magazine. By the 1980s, most adult goods stores were also selling sex dolls. Although the sex dolls at that time were only in the stage of inflatable dolls. Due to technological limitations, their ability to withstand human weight and usage times are still very limited.

 

In the 21st century, with the breakthroughs in technology and materials technology, physical dolls have reached their peak. From TPE to silicone, physical dolls have been rediscovered to a level that most people cannot believe is true.

 

The TPE soft rubber doll has a soft feel and is also relatively cheap. It is an option for many beginners. At first, silicone dolls generally had a hard feel, but with the advancement of technology, now silicone can achieve a softness similar to that of real people.

 

In addition to adjusting the material and function, some merchants of physical dolls are also developing towards artificial intelligence, such as the biomimetic doll named Lilith (biomimetic 3.0 Lilith Lilith) that appeared at the Guangzhou Adult Exhibition in 2021.

 

Lilith currently has facial recognition and motion tracking functions, making the interaction between physical dolls and real people more natural.

 

Throughout history, dolls have played different roles with their fragile bodies, and technology may provide physical dolls with more functions to enter daily life and assist people in their work and life, depending on how you view them.
