The profile of sex doll owners.

Some might think sex dolls refer to the picture of a middle-aged man who is lonely or socially awkward. Some think of sex dolls as high-end masturbatory aids, while others use them as surrogate partners. Historically, sex dolls have been primarily associated with a negative undertone. However, researches show that the benefits of sex doll ownership outweigh the negatives.

Firstly, let’s find out if there are any differences between the everyday Joe and someone who owns a sex doll. Will a sex doll affect our psyche negatively and harm our well-being? It doesn’t. Contrary to widely held social attitudes, a research paper in the Journal of Sex Research by Craig Harper et al. found no differences in sexual objectification.

Owning a sex doll is more than just pure sexual gratification.

From industry observations, traditionally, customers used to purchase sex dolls for sexual gratification. Today’s customer segments span more than just lonely and middle-aged men who cannot date for various reasons. Driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of younger men in their twenties and thirties turned to sex dolls as hobbyists to help ease lockdown blues. Peeks into online doll forums show a rapidly growing popularity around the globe posting photos of their companions ranging from romantic bedroom shots to candle-lit dates.

Males predominantly own sex dolls traditionally, but the trend is changing as more women and couples are becoming more open-thinking about satisfying their sexual needs.
