There have been many online communities in Japan featuring these suspected teen sex dolls. Community moderators often post pictures of sex dolls, and followers have thread discussions on how to dress up sex dolls and how to properly clean sex dolls after use. Some users will leave messages suggesting: “Uncle’s house has sugar”, “Primary school students are so cute”, “The ruffles of the skirt are so cute, so excited”… Even in a YouTube video of the moderator, some people discussed having sex with Contact the doll factory to imitate the key parts of the doll according to the physical characteristics of his desired age.
There are many countries around the world that ban child sex dolls, but it is completely legal in Japan. A variety of sex dolls that adults can customize as easily as buying teddy bears.
Japanese minors protection organizations worry that consumers of such love dolls will have a negative impact on society. “Japanese men have a strong value that they can accept minors as sexual objects,” Ms. Kazuna Kanajiri, director of the Association Against Erotic Violence (a non-profit organization), told reporters. “There was even a government leader (a 56-year-old politician) who claimed it was okay to have sex with a 14-year-old,” she said.
“In Japan, almost no one realizes that sex with minors is a crime, so there are many consumers who like this type of special sex dolls, which may lead to an increase in sexual violence crimes against minors.” In Japan, the age of sexual consent is 13 (18 in the US), one of the lowest in the world.
Not only are child love dolls legal, but cartoons like this are also perennial. Manga, anime, and child sex dolls are legal in Japan because of the protection of free speech. But there has been no research on the social impact of sex dolls, such as whether they lead to more sexually violent crimes against minors. Some researchers also believe that it may provide an outlet for consumers’ interest in minors, thereby reducing illegal acts according to their own desires.
A 2022 survey of more than 130 people in each group found differences in sexual aggression tendencies between sex doll owners and non-owners. Under the right conditions, sex dolls can be used as therapeutic aids.
Italian researchers also found that sex doll consumers are few among perpetrators of sexual violence. Teen sex dolls are illegal in many countries, but legal in Japan. While most studies show that most doll owners buy sex toys for sexual reasons, some owners like childlike sex dolls claim that is not always the case in this way.
Suzuki, who has a collection of 20 sex dolls, has one teen love doll, which he says is called Virginia because the adult doll is too heavy (35kg), and the little doll weighs only 18kg. Suzuki said he doesn’t really care if child sex dolls are illegal, and if the government enacts a law against it, he will obey the law. But he admits that he is more of an alternative. “About half of the consumers I know want to have sex with minors.” Suzuki owns 20 sex dolls, a collection he began collecting last year.
Akiyoshi Saito is a social psychiatrist who treats people who commit crimes of sexual violence against minors. He said one in 10 of his patients diagnosed with pedophilia had used something similar to childlike love dolls. These people do not feel that the sex doll is an outlet, and the doll does not fully satisfy them. Some experts said that it is morally risky to prove through research that there is a causal relationship between love dolls and the increased likelihood of violent crimes by minors, and it is likely to fail. Studies like this,” John Danaher, a law professor who studies the ethical impact of teen love dolls, told reporters. But Professor Danaher said there is a lot of research showing that allowing people to engage in sexually violent behavior is harmful, Even if there are no direct victims.” “Because over time, people habituate and normalize things,” he said.
Saito Akiyoshi said that part of the reason why the law does not ban teen sex dolls is the lag of the law, which is a relatively new phenomenon. The issue of child sex dolls is an emerging issue that has only gained traction in the past 5 to 10 years. But some experts speculate that the global sex doll market is already a multi-billion dollar industry. One is sold roughly every 30 seconds in Japan.
There are dozens of online sex doll communities in Japan, most of which have a section for child sex dolls, some of which are the most popular. In Japan, petitions to ban the manufacture and sale of teen sex dolls have been circulating online from time to time, but support has been tepid. On the contrary, some politicians openly talk about sex toys, arguing that there is no need to ban them, on the grounds that everyone has the right to freedom of speech.
Although the Japanese government does not pay enough attention to banning love dolls for minors, Ms. Kazuna Kanajiri believes that their efforts help to free Japanese society from the objectification of minors, for which she has faced dissent abuse and harassment from people, and someone even sent used sex toys to her office. She said it was unpleasant to face such an approach, but it would not keep her silent ever since.
