The unending desire for sexuality fuels advancements in the sex toy and sex doll industry. Thirty thousand years ago, our ancestors started carving out eight-inch-long siltstone phallics’. And while some archeologists argue the stone ‘penises’ were used to sharpen tools, their rather familiar sizes and shapes said otherwise.
And if you thought Cleopatra allegedly pleasuring himself with a box full of live bees in 51 BC was crazy, Seamen had to use cloth-made masturbators to meet their sexual needs while at sea. And for the privileged ones, blow-up dolls were part of their carry-on luggage in the year-round voyages.
Luckily, there are numerous sex toys and sex dolls now, and you don’t have to use your soggy pair of socks. Most importantly, the stigma surrounding the subject is slowly fading away, with more people open to the idea of owning or using one. It’s been a long journey though – some sex toy/doll brands had to disguise themselves as ‘wellness brands’ offering ‘marital aids’ to falsify acceptance. Even today, Japanese sex toy powerhouse Hitachi is yet to acknowledge its signature product, the Magic Wand, as more than a massage aid. But who’s complaining?
Sex Doll Vs. Sex Toy – The Irony
Sex dolls and sex toys have a similar development plan, with society ignoring both until it couldn’t ignore them more. However, while sex toys are pretty much acceptable now, some hostility towards love dolls still exists.
Sex toys are mostly used by women and are usually seen as a tool of empowerment and a way to reclaim female sexuality. On the other hand, sex dolls are more of a men’s thing, and as weird as it sounds, a man owning a sex doll is seen as a ‘creep.’ I don’t know! I think it’s the usual resistance that precedes change. There’s absolutely nothing sleazy with owning a sex doll, and maybe when more women embrace the idea, then it’ll no longer be eerie. Huh?
Sex dolls can boost confidence, combat loneliness, and form lifelong partners.
Our Choice
So, sex dolls or sex toys? Which is the best option? There are no definitive answers to these questions. It depends on your intuition, budget, and willpower. In this article, we’ll look into the different features of both sex toys and love dolls.
In the end, we hope you’ll have a better understanding of the topic so you can make a more informed decision.
The Size
Probably the greatest difference between sex toys and dolls, even the largest of the former is hand-held. This is mainly because, like the name, sex toys are built around the principles of portability and ease of use. On the other hand, sex dolls are made to look and feel like a real person. For this reason, you can expect everything a person has, including the head, arms, legs, and breasts, for full-size female models. And even for torsos, the size difference is immense.
Sex dolls are defined as anatomically correct human imitations used to enhance pleasure during solo and coupled play. Your sex doll will probably have an orifice – vagina, mouth, ass. For male models, the doll comes with a penis. For sex toys, you’ll either get an orifice or a penis – massive difference.
A 160 cm (5”2’) sex doll weighs 40 (88.18 lb). On the other hand, a regular vibrator weighs anywhere between 0.086 - 0.23 kg (0.19 – 0.5 lb). You can choose to have hollow breasts or a torso to reduce your doll’s weight, but the size and weight differences between a sex doll and a sex toy are incomparable. Simply said - a sex toy is just but a small part, a component of a sex doll.
Cost
Sex dolls cost up to thousands of dollars depending on the material, quality, and size. And even for cheaper ones, you’ll have to cough at least one thousand to get it off the shelf. On the other hand, sex toys can cost as little as $10, with premium offerings costing a few hundred dollars. Check our selection of strokers and sex toys at the cheapest price, get one for under $30!
People new to the sex doll/toy world might find it better to buy a sex toy. After all, it’s way affordable compared to a love doll, it’s portable, and you don’t have to worry much about storage. Of course, the experience is different for both, but pricing is a major distinguishing factor.
Material
Besides the resulting sexual pleasure, the material is probably the most unifying factor for sex toys and sex dolls. Most premium brands use body-safe and durable silicone. TPE is also a common material among designers because of its realistic feel and affordability. Of course, the material choice will depend on your preference and the price you’re willing to pay, but silicone is recommended because it’s non-porous and more hygienic.
The standout feature for sex dolls is the use of a metal skeleton designed to take the role of bones and joints in the human body. Sex dolls are more realistic and flexible with a skeleton and movable joints, allowing you to enjoy numerous sex positions with ease.
Experience
As you’d expect, sex dolls are better than sex toys regarding the overall sexual experience. There’s more on the plate to choose from, and sex feels like a real person minus the emotional reciprocation aspect. However, the development of sex robots aims to bridge the gap and make the love dolls more responsive. You can also instill extra bells and whistles like heating and moaning functions to make the experience even more realistic.
So, as much as modern sex toys are pleasurable, there’s no comparison between a sex toy and love doll pleasure.
Other Factors
Other factors that distinguish sex dolls from sex toys include aftercare – cleaning, and storage. The small size makes sex toys much easier to clean and store. Traveling with your sex toy is also much easier because of the portability aspect. However, the sexual experience between these two is incomparable. Sex dolls will always come out on top!
And that’s it! Do you think a sex toy or sex doll will be a great addition to your sex life? Well, there’s no reason not to think so. Both offer an array of benefits and are a great way to take care of your emotional and physical well-being. Most people only look at free nudes, or you can enhance your life with a toy or a life size doll.
Sex dolls especially offer a full-course meal of pleasure.
No snacks.
No microwavables.

This is really nice article about sex doll…….
Think these dolls are unbelievably sexy real…been eyeing the lists but dont know when or if I will get the cash to purchase.Just don’t have the cash left job oct 2019 couldn’t breath. Denied unemployment. Got Covid in march12 2020. Used up my spare cash trying to stay afloat. Then blew hole in lung 9 day trama unit just to find out that my last job caused my lower lobe lung to be totally scared and need surgery for removal. Don’t know why I’m even saying this. To a degree . I just want some company from someone who listen and let me love her.. funny may be for someone else reading this. True fact… If they could learn by speaking back fantastic this would be. Now stuck on needing something to get me off and good quiet company that will love unconditionally..
Seems as tho the doll would have the advantage here. Well over the blow up plastic dolls. Had one. It sucked. Pocket pussies, dildos, etc etc. I can imaginejust seeing this doll, damn near looking like Scarlett Johansson or Megan fox and dwammnn your just beating that vagg down. She doesn’t back talk, she doesn’t argue. Hell, you don’t even have to take her out to dinner and a movie. Looks like you be on your for a sandwich tho lol.e personally, Never had a sex doll. Want on? Yes many!. It was just never aligned with my wallet for me to get one as they are rather pricey and I have other adulting obligations to take care of
Are doll worth the money cause i been looking for months and that’s the only thing that keeps stopping me. Even with payment plans and all that it just seems ridiculous hope someone can tell me otherwise?
Regards
I did buy one love doll five years agow .
I did love the doll and how i could lay her in any diferent position i would like and start using all inserts,mouth,vagina or butt hole.
But is was not so plesant using her in the winter,becouse the material feels verry cold in that time.
When in the summer its more warm.
Becouse i’m married i must keep my doll a secret and atc that point size matters too store her ,big box thats not easy too keep hidden.
But the feeling when i take her in the shower with me was verry great and i could put her in the position i liked too start with and change her during the intercorse.
My veery first doll i enjoyed much.
But now whe are rebuilt or roof top i did trow her away at containerpark,in the box i didcget her in the first place.
But i missing her more and more,so maybe when i can efort it i would buy the second doll but smaller so i can easyer hide her for the other famaly members.
Thanks so verry mutch too give me the change too experiants the feeling playing with my sexdoll
