The Progression of Love Dolls

Remember when a love doll was just the space between cushions on your couch? If so, you might find it as a surprise that love dolls came into existence long ago. The earliest known use of love dolls dates back to the 17th century, when French and Spanish sailors would make dolls from old clothes to satisfy themselves on long voyages. While we’re sure these love dolls we’re just as willing as the ones we’ve come to know and love today, let’s focus on the modern day love doll.


Manufactured love dolls like the ones we have today still came into existence much earlier than you might think. One of the earliest references to a realistic doll comes dates back to 1908 from Iwan Bloch’s The Sexual Life of Our Time. His description of these dirty dolls sound very similar to the ones we have bent over the table today. From oiled up vaginas to ejaculating members, the dolls seemingly had it all.
