Sex Doll Specifications versus Human Body Characteristics

Area of Science:

• Anthropometry
• Sociology
• Consumer Product Analysis

Background:

• Sex dolls are criticized for promoting unrealistic body standards.
• A lack of precise measurements hinders understanding of sex doll exaggeration.
• Previous research has not systematically quantified how sex dolls deviate from human norms.

Purpose of the Study:

• To quantify the extent to which sex dolls exaggerate human physical characteristics.
• To compare sex doll specifications with US population data for gendered and racial traits.
• To determine if sex dolls present hypergendered, hypersexualized, or racially fetishized representations.

Main Methods:

• Collected measurements of 757 full-body sex dolls marketed in the USA in 2023.
• Extracted anthropometric data for the US population from scientific literature.
• Performed descriptive and inferential statistical analyses using R.

Main Results:

• Female dolls were significantly slimmer than US women (H1).
• Male dolls were significantly more muscular than US men (H2).
• Female dolls had larger breasts (H3) and male dolls had larger penises (H4) compared to human averages.
• Sex dolls were disproportionately White compared to the US population (H5).

Conclusions:

• Sex dolls marketed in the USA are not realistic.
• These dolls exhibit hypergendered, hypersexualized, and racially fetishized characteristics.
• The findings highlight significant deviations from human norms with potential societal implications.
