The widespread use of the life size sex doll may indirectly influence reproductive decisions through the partner substitution effect. For groups that might otherwise enter into romantic relationships due to loneliness, these products offer a low-cost solution for emotional and physiological satisfaction, thereby reducing the external motivation to establish a traditional family. Research from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany found that doll owners reported a decrease in the overall frequency of sexual activity, including a reduction in dependence on real partners. |
