History of the development of sex dolls and global market overview
Share
From rudimentary substitutes to bionic companions
The primitive idea of Sex Dolls dates back to the 17th century, during the Dutch navigation era, with the so-called "Dutch brides" (Damen van Holland).
In those times, sailors on long voyages isolated from the world used human figures made of cloth and leather as rudimentary sexual substitutes to relieve physiological pressure. Although their function was extremely basic, they already demonstrated the instinctive tension between sexual desire and emotional compensation.

In the 21st century, technologies such as artificial intelligence, micromotors, voice systems and sensory interaction have transformed the classic xxx doll into a true bionic companion.
Some high-end brands already offer facial expressions, semantic recognition, and programmed interactive behaviors, turning the Sex Doll into an emotionally simulated entity, far beyond a simple sex object.

Current state of the global market and future projections
According to a Statista report published in 2023, the global Sex Doll market reached a value of $2.9 billion, and is projected to exceed $5 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 11.2%.
The main factors driving this expansion include:
- The constant evolution in materials, achieving life-size silicone dolls with an increasingly realistic texture.
- The incorporation of smart features such as voice, body heat and interactivity brings the concept closer to companion devices.
- The growth of the population living alone and the openness towards new forms of sexuality create a favorable context for substitute intimate relationships.

Strikingly, products specializing in certain positions such as Doggystyle or with Furry and Anthro aesthetics are emerging as new high-growth categories, satisfying users' need for immersion and personalization.
Analysis of real users and psychological understanding
A study published in 2022 by the Sexuality & Technology Journal, which surveyed 1,500 users in the US, Japan, and Germany, revealed the following:
- 68% are single men, most of them over 35 years old.
- 18% are married people, with causes related to sexual dysfunction or lack of intimacy in the couple.
- 14% are sexual explorers, interested in unconventional practices such as BDSM or Furry culture.
Many see sex dolls as an emotional outlet, a way to regulate sexual stress, and even as a tangible representation of their creative fantasies. This phenomenon also extends to the use of male sex dolls, especially among women and LGBTQ+ users seeking more inclusive alternatives.
Sex therapist Dr. Helen Strauss states:
“The use of realistic sex dolls provides a high degree of control, emotional security, and psychological comfort. It is especially useful for people who suffer from emotional isolation, sexual trauma, or high libido without the possibility of establishing a romantic relationship.”
The three most prominent psychological benefits are:
- Reduction of sexual anxiety
- Increased sense of contextual control
- Safe release of sexual fantasies
Analysis of Doggystyle Sex Dolls
What is a Doggystyle Sex Doll?
The Doggystyle position within the Sex Doll universe represents a specialized category for anal sex. These realistic sex dolls are designed to maintain a "four-legged" or "knees on the ground with buttocks raised" position, accurately replicating the angle and body tension characteristic of doggy-style sex.
From a structural point of view, this type of life-size silicone doll offers:
- A reinforced hip support, capable of withstanding intense pressure without deforming.
- Scientifically optimized penetration angles to mimic real physical interaction.
- Exaggerated waist and hip proportions, with a focus on voluptuousness and elasticity , generating strong visual and tactile stimulation.

Simulation of use scenarios
Imagine a typical scenario: The room is dimly lit, only the low pulses of a speaker can be heard. You pick up the remote and with a gentle click activate the Sex Doll . Its soft silicone skin seems to emit a slight warming sensation. The curves of its hips are perfectly arched.
Each penetration encounters an elastic resistance, as if responding with a vivid tension, similar to the trembling gasps of a real couple. This type of design intensely stimulates impulses of possession and dominance, especially effective in role-playing dynamics or Dominance/Submission ( D/s ) scenes.
The experience it offers is almost impossible to replicate with other formats, whether with a traditional xxx doll or even with an adapted male sex doll .

The ultimate choice for extreme players: Doggystyle Sex Doll humanoids and anthropomorphic
Domlust , one of the most controversial yet cutting-edge sex toy brands of the moment, has set its own standard in the world of doggystyle sex dolls . Its approach not only encompasses realistic, human-like sex dolls , but also includes an anthro-doll (anthropomorphic) design, including:
-
Canine doll for sex from behind : a direct fusion between Furry aesthetics and doggystyle structure.
-
Dragon or anthropomorphized wolf type doll : geared towards users with extreme fantasy inclinations.
-
Dolls inspired by orc women or hybrid creatures : with massive bodies, prominent buttocks, defined musculature, and exaggerated skin textures. Each thrust generates impactful feedback, as if you were erotically battling an otherworldly warrior—a visceral spectacle of pure sexual tension.
These life-size silicone dolls have won the hearts of many experienced users who have already experimented with more traditional adult dolls . The reason is clear: these creations break the boundaries of conventional eroticism, transforming sexual desire into a theatrical, primal, and deeply instinctive experience.

Furthermore, Domlust's customization services take fantasy to extreme levels — allowing you to adapt elements such as the shape of the ears or the length of the tail, for total immersion in the fetishistic and animalistic universe.
User and cleaning guide & Health recommendations
The responsible use of any type of sex doll , whether male or realistic , must strictly follow hygiene rules:
- Disinfection before and after use : It is recommended to use neutral and antibacterial cleaning liquids. Avoid corrosive products such as alcohol.
- Use of condom : especially important if the xxx doll will be shared or used frequently.
- Monthly maintenance : apply protective powder or oil to maintain the softness and elasticity of the material.

Steps for proper cleaning
- Rinse all cavities and contact areas with warm water.
- Use a soft brush and antibacterial cleaner for the inside.
