really looking forward to this thread! will you keep on posting? I think it will be a very important source of information.

Unfortunately, this post has been overlooked recently and I have added a bit more to it. Hopefully others will contribute also with historical references and oddities about sex dolls.

[Joe 90]

"The inspiration for Barbie came from a comic strip character 'Lilli' who featured in German magazine Bild Zeitung from 1952 to 1961. The cartoon received such great acclaim that Lilli dolls were made to cash in on this popularity."

"Bild Lilli, unlike Mattel’s clean imaged Barbie, was considered quite risqué - a blonde bombshell who exuded sexuality and used this sexuality to gain favours from men. Bild Lilli dolls were popular with German men as joke toys that were given at bachelor parties or hung from cars' rear-view mirrors. Often maligned as a 'sex doll' the truth about Bild Lilli is a bit more complicated."

"Ordered to draw a "filler" cartoon for the June 24, 1952, inaugural issue of Bild, Reinhard Beuthien drew Lilli a post-war, sassy, ambitious, golddigger and a floozy". The cartoon always consisted of a Lilli in a state of undress or dressed in a manner that showed her figure."

[Joe 90]

"The cartoon Lilli was blonde, but a few of the dolls had other hair colours. Though she was very much toned down to become the fashion doll Barbie."

"Lilli was considered the first mass marketed adult doll for male fantasies."

[Joe 90]

"Lilli was based on a series of adult cartoons. She was a Pin Up girl. The history of the Pin Up girl dates right back to the illustrations of the1895 Gibson Girls."

"Their popularity was widespread during World War 2 where they even adorned aircraft. A well known illustrator was Alberto Vargas."

"Pin up Art was also very popular on the covers of Pulp magazines."

[Joe 90]

"The adult doll created from the cartoon was so successful that the doll inspired the mass production of adult dolls to fulfill male desire.

Soon you were able to buy your very own life size Pin Up."

"An inflatable sex doll called Missy has been launched towards space."

"Missy -- whose features include 'three sensual orifices' -- was suspended from a weather balloon and launched from Lake Tahoe. She ascended at a speed of nearly 400 metres per minute, reaching an altitude of 31,090 metres, before her balloon burst and she was sent plummeting down to the Nevada desert."

"As she free fell back to Earth, her left arm was torn off by a crosswind. She then suffered severe damage to her right leg, before her right arm detached. The triple amputee was last seen at around 27,432 metres, spiralling out of control towards a sandy grave."

This incredible event happened in 2013.

Would love to see a TPE doll sent into space but I guess it would be dangerous crashing to the ground. Elon Musk sent a Tesla Roadster into outer space with a mannequin in, but next time hopefully Elon will use one of the LoveDolls girls

Sex dolls didn't just jump from the inflatable dolls to the Silicone and TPE dolls of today. There were also foam dolls and plush dolls, which are stuffed dolls.

Another type of inflatable doll was the latex doll. Shown here is a quite impressive Domax doll which has a very realistic female figure.

A miniature post about how these were made has just been started. Link below.

Incorrect - inflatable latex and vinyl dolls such as the Hygiene Vital range were widely advertised in UK men's magazines from the early 1970's. They could also be readily bought in licensed sex shops at the time. You may be thinking of the 1987 Conegate trial which led to a definitive ruling that sex dolls were not obscene and could not be subject to legal prohibition. In practice, this ruling had no effect on their continued availability at the time but has been extremely helpful in protecting doll importers in recent years from renewed attempts at repression.

Thanks for clearing that up. Can you provide an image of these type of dolls I cannot remember them, maybe because I was too young at the time.

This is the range I was referring to specifically, but there were many others, some even going back to the 60's...
