In China, the use of sex dolls has long been a taboo subject, with societal expectations about sexuality and family life making any discussion of sexual autonomy difficult. However, recent years have seen a shift in the perception of sex dolls, particularly as China becomes more technologically advanced and the internet opens up discussions about sexuality.
Historically, Chinese culture has emphasized modesty, family honor, and traditional gender roles, leaving little room for open discussions about sexual exploration. The rise of sex dolls in Chinese society represents a subtle break from these conventions. As younger generations become more exposed to global trends, there has been a growing acceptance of sexual independence and individual exploration. For some individuals, particularly those in urban areas, sex dolls provide an opportunity for personal gratification without the expectations of traditional relationships.
At the same time, Chinese society continues to maintain a strong emphasis on family and marriage, and the use of sex dolls is still viewed with a degree of skepticism by more conservative groups. However, as Chinese society grapples with the realities of modern sexual life, the use of sex dolls may become more normalized, breaking old taboos around sexual expression.
