The History of Silicone Dolls

In reality, many people first think of "sex" when hearing about the "silicone dolls," which are "colored and dirty."

But if you examine the history and the present developments, I’m sure that you can find the special importance and the ground-breaking character of this thing.

A French publication of 1904, *Les Detraquees de Paris* (The Chaos of Paris), is a rich source of information about the emergence of artificial dolls. This publication states that Dr. P showed the author his own manufacturing of sex dolls that were lifelike, inflatable, and heated with head and body hair, teeth and fingernails, skin coloring, vein systems, eyes, and tongues.

"Unfortunately, I cannot advertise publicly. I have been having trouble with the police so I must place some peculiar rubber animals around here so I can claim to be someone who builds models for the foundation exhibition."

One such publication is *Sexual Life in Our Time*, from 1908, which described sex dolls constructed from rubber and plastic, copying the mechanism of ejaculation.

The doll was first shown to the public in 1922 by the Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka.

Oskar Kokoschka was born in Austria in 1886. As a young man, he fell passionately in love with Alma Mahler, who was significantly older than he. Three years later, Alma ended the engagement. Oskar Kokoschka was broken-hearted. To fill his voids with Alma, he decided to make a doll exactly like Alma. After making the doll, Kokoschka. In order to show the completeness of his transformation, Kokoschka took his doll everywhere he used to take Alma, even to the carriages and the opera house. He virtually relived his life before his separation from Alma. Asked whether he ever had any romance with the doll, Oskar Kokoschka never responded. However, he revealed that "Alma would have an abortion against his will, while the doll always remained silent and obedient."

Kokoschka's dolls inspired many people, including Hans Belmer, a German surrealist known today as the "father of modern sex dolls".

As his wife’s condition grew weak because of her tuberculosis, Belmer developed the desire to be intimate with his niece, Ursula. However, realizing this wasn’t feasible, Belmer was encouraged by Kokoschka to set his sights even higher by making his own dolls to satisfy this need. He, his brother Fritz, and his friend Lothpinzel made his first doll in 1933.

In World War II in the year 1940, in an attempt to ensure that German soldiers did not engage in sexual intercourse with women in the occupied territories, as well as to curb the spread of sexual diseases among soldiers, an instruction was given to develop in secret a doll with a female reproductive system that needed fair skin, black hair, blue eyes, a height above 1 meter, full lips, and a full bust.

In the 1950s, inflatable dolls became officially marketed as sexual aids in the German market.

In the 1970s, inflatable dolls officially entered Japan’s market and gained popularity with many males in Japan, and this led to the fast development of the industry.

By the year 1980, adult dolls could already be found in most adult stores in the United States. Being inflatable at that time and nearly non-reusable, it is understood that such dolls could only carry a certain amount of weight; in other words, they are not for everybody. In the 21st century, the silicone doll, TPE, and TRE dolls have brought along many advanced technologies, including the implanted sound card, skeleton, temperature control, and artificial intelligence systems.
