2024 Update: Where Are Sex Dolls Legal to Purchase

First and foremost, it must be established that any dolls that could potentially cater to pedophilia are not allowed for sale, and smaller-sized dolls available in the market must possess adult features. All adult love dolls should adhere to local laws, and manufacturers take the legality of sex dolls very seriously, as should buyers.

In a March 2021 news report, an Australian man was arrested for purchasing a TPE sex doll that was deemed too small. It's astounding to consider the level of seriousness various countries place on crimes involving children, to the extent of arresting this man even amid the risks posed by COVID-19. This makes you wonder what kind of dolls are legal in which countries, what sizes are permissible, and what the laws are for importing authentic sex dolls. Are physical dolls legal everywhere?

In some countries, sex dolls are legal as long as they don't resemble minors; they're completely fine. However, the legality of lifelike sex dolls depends on the country or region where one resides, and not all places have the same laws. In certain locations, sex dolls are 100% illegal (which truly vexes me!). In such cases, legitimate doll suppliers cannot supply there unless local laws eventually change. If a supplier sells and ships a doll to such a location, you're breaking the law, risking confiscation of your love doll, and facing imprisonment.

In many countries, they're legal as long as they meet certain standards. For instance, Australia, Norway, and the UK have height restrictions for sex dolls, meaning specifications must be over 140 cm. Australia has more specifications, not only for height but also for the secondary sexual characteristics depicted by the doll. It's best not to purchase a doll that happens to be the bare minimum legal standard, as this could still cause issues. For example, in the UK, the minimum standard size for a doll is 140 cm, but it's recommended to order at least 145 cm, preferably 150 cm and above, for complete peace of mind. In fact, YourDoll will scrutinize every order, and if we suspect an issue with your order, we'll promptly reach out to confirm the details to ensure our customers receive the dolls they love correctly.

Therefore, to understand whether purchasing a lifelike sex doll is legal around the world, contact your local customs based on the above information.
