In which countries are sex dolls legal?
Dec 13,2023 | colin
First and foremost, it must be established that any dolls potentially associated with pedophilia are strictly prohibited from sale. Additionally, smaller-sized dolls available in the market must feature adult characteristics. All adult love dolls should comply with local laws, and manufacturers place great importance on the legality of sex dolls. Buyers should be equally vigilant in ensuring legal compliance.
In a news report from March 2021, an Australian man was arrested for purchasing a TPE sex doll that was deemed too small. This highlights the seriousness with which countries address offenses related to child exploitation, even risking potential exposure to new conservative pneumonia in making arrests. It raises questions about the legality of certain dolls in different countries, acceptable sizes, and the laws surrounding the importation of genuine sex dolls. Are sex dolls legal everywhere?
In some countries, sex dolls are legal as long as they do not resemble minors. However, the legality of lifelike sex dolls depends on the country/region of residence, and not all places have the same laws. In certain locations, sex dolls are 100% illegal (which is indeed a cause for concern!). In such cases, legitimate doll suppliers cannot supply dolls there unless local laws undergo changes. If a supplier sells and ships dolls to such a location, it would be a legal offense, leading to potential confiscation of the dolls and imprisonment penalties.
In many countries, sex dolls are legal as long as they meet certain standards. For instance, Australia, Norway, and the UK enforce height restrictions for sex dolls, requiring specifications to be over 140 centimeters. Australia has additional regulations, not only for height but also for the expression of secondary sexual characteristics in dolls. It's advisable not to purchase dolls that just meet the legal minimum standards, as it may lead to complications. In the UK, for example, the standard minimum size for dolls is 140 centimeters, but it's recommended to order at least 145 centimeters, ideally 150 centimeters and above, for complete peace of mind. In fact, YourDoll thoroughly checks each order, and if there's any suspicion of potential issues, we promptly reach out to customers to confirm order details, ensuring they receive the dolls they desire correctly.
