Sex dolls have quickly become popular and sort after all around the world!

But wait, are sex dolls even legal in your country?

If you wanted to buy a sex doll, could you?

Find out today!

But first, I must mention that any doll that may resemble a child and could be considered paedophilia will NOT be allowed to be sold anywhere. Furthermore, the smaller styles of dolls offered on the sex doll market must feature adult characteristics, for obvious reasons.

All adult love dolls must comply with local laws, manufacturers take the legality of sex dolls very seriously, and so should you.

There are a whole host of legal challenges which can make manufacturing, developing and owning sex dolls more challenging than you might have thought. As development moves forwards, and we get advance into the future of fully-fledged sex robots we are likely going to be facing even more legal challenges. 

Let’s take a look at a news article from October 2020 from The Guardian.

This article reported that a 43 year old from Sydney, New South Wales was arrested and imprisoned for buying and importing parts of 11 child like sex dolls.

Just from this one line, you can already see how serious countries (such as Australia) are against child-related crime, serious to the point of arrest and even jail time. Additionally, to this, other jail mates do not take to kindly to those jailed for paedophilia.

The state of Queensland even passed a bill for criminalising the possession, supply and

manufacture of anatomically correct, life-like child replicas used for sexual gratification and child abuse objects, and stated that the importation and manufacture of all such sex toys are banned. Anyone caught manufacturing, supplying or possessing a child like sex dolls will face up to 20 years imprisonment. 

So, just stay away from childlike love dolls, period. Please don't ask us about such dolls because we do NOT and WILL NOT ever deal with them. 

Moving on, you may now be wondering what kind of dolls are legal? in which countries? what sizes are okay? and what are the laws for importing real sex dolls? Are physical dolls legal everywhere?

This all being said, yes, sex dolls are legal in Australia… but…

In some countries sex dolls are legal, however, they must not resemble the likeness of a minor. But for most, the legality of lifelike sex dolls completely depends on the local laws of the country/region where you may live, and this is not an easy topic to cover as all countries/regions have their own laws.

In some places, sex dolls are 100% illegal (and 100% unfair to me!). In such cases, we cannot sell or supply any sex dolls to these countries unless the local laws are changed. If we were to sell and ship any type of sex doll to these locations, then we will be committing national crimes, but more importantly, you will be breaking the law and will more likely than not have your love doll confiscated and potentially face jail time and penalties (mainly financial penalties).

In many countries, sex dolls are legal… as long as they meet these criteria.

In Australia, Norway, Canada, the USA and the United Kingdom there are imposed height restrictions on all sex dolls, meaning that the specifications of your love doll must be greater than 140 cm.

In fact, Australia actually imposes one more regulation for all current and future sex doll owners, not only must your doll’s height be greater than the minimum 140cm but your doll must also on not possess any sexual characteristics or resemble the likeness of a childlike doll.

Essentially, just stay away from small dolls. It’s also best not to purchase a small doll that just meets the minimum standard allowed by law, as this may also have some potentially unfavourable repercussions and implications.

For example, in the United States of America, the standard minimum height of a doll is 140cm, however, it is recommended to order at least a 145cm doll, but preferably 150cm and above, to be completely worry-free. In fact, we check each and every order and if we suspect that there may be a potential legal issue with your order, we will contact you promptly to confirm order details to ensure that our customers receive their preferred dolls but are also not breaking any laws in the process.

Sex dolls are becoming more and more popular by the day. As sex dolls quickly advance and sex robots start showing up at doors around the world. 

Advocates even claim that there are many benefits to owning love dolls, some of these benefits can include; empowering the older population and persons with disabilities, addressing sex-related anxiety, treating sexual dysfunctions, promoting safer sex and creating a safe place for people who feel insecure about their sexual orientation.

For this reason we want to bring this joy to the world and this is why we always try our very best to make sure we are always complying with the most up-to-date local and religious laws.

In strict religious countries (countries in the Middle East and some countries in Africa for example) sex dolls are banned altogether.

For these reasons, we have compiled the most detailed list of the legality of owning or buying a sex doll all around the world, for our own and your benefit. We tried to cover all countries in this list, but if we missed your country, if you have questions, or simply a correction for us, please get in touch with us at info@sxdolled.com or simply use our contact us page.

To make it simple we have colour coded each country and placed them into alphabetical order to indicate their legality and/or their legal limitations.

Let’s get into it.
