History of sex dolls

As the story goes, Pygmalion, a Cypriot king and sculptor, carved a statue of a woman he gave a name like Galatea who looks beautiful that he fell in love with her. Not only that, he also wanted her to come to life. Amazingly, her dream came true when Galatea was brought to life by the goddess Aphrodite and Pygmalion was able to make love to her.

Whether you're looking forward to buying hot silicone sex dolls in York or any other variety of dolls, it's important to know the historical facts.

 20th century - The beginning of the modern era

Basically, the first reference to manufactured love dolls came in 1908 in a book by German psychiatrist Iwan Bloch who wrote for male and female rubber dolls. They were offered in Paris at the turn of the century. Remember, each one was individually crafted by a doctor known as "Dr. P".

Other manufacturers began using vinyl latex to create more realistic dolls, but the manufacture and sale of love dolls remained an underground practice. Also, the advertising of love dolls for sale was limited to word of mouth and covert catalog distribution in a male-centric environment such as brothels, barbershops, and pubs.
