Now that the epidemic is having a negative impact on the world, many people are keen on cheap sex dolls.

During the COVID-19 pandemic and the embargo, the demand for humanoid silicone dolls skyrocketed. Now suppliers are struggling to keep up with production. Cheap sex dolls used to be unsociable. In fact, it was difficult for people who wanted to buy sex dolls to find a place to do so. But now these humanoid silicone dolls are becoming mainstream. Even though some people still don't accept their existence. Some people have learned to accept the fact that sex dolls will always be there. Florida-based company Sex Doll Genie saw a more than 51% increase in orders in February and March. This comes at a time when the US and other countries are imposing embargoes.

According to the company's co-founder Janet Stevenson, they have a lot of products in stock. However, they were not working fast enough to meet the growing demand. Stevenson added that the company will hire new employees as soon as possible. It has also created a number of new customer support and fulfillment management positions in the US and Europe. The company's co-founder also said that Sex Doll Genie, which sells custom-made, realistic sex dolls, has received hundreds of inquiries in the past two months, compared to the usual.

Sex Doll Genie saw a total 51.6 percent increase in orders from singles in February and March. In addition, April saw a 33.2% year-on-year increase in orders for married couples. Another UK sex toy company, CMG Leisure, was also understaffed as its sales soared during the pandemic.

It is worth noting that sex dolls were already popular before the pandemic. But the introduction of the lockdown caused by the epidemic made the silicone dolls even more popular. For example, a hotel in Hong Kong was converted into a sex doll brothel during the pandemic to cope with the loss of guests staying there. Not surprisingly, sex doll brothels became famous among people who wanted to experience sex dolls but didn't have enough money to buy their own dolls.

At first glance, it's clear that the increasing demand was triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people are alone and isolated, without intimate partners. For this reason, the idea that sex dolls could provide company in the absence of a partner was not surprising. Moreover, the demand for female silicone sex dolls is not only fueled by single men. It's worth noting that single men are the demographic traditionally associated with the sex doll market.

Dr Kate Devlin writes in her recent book Turn on: Science, Sex and Robots that sex dolls are mostly associated with single men. But the dolls are also often bought by couples, the disabled and parents whose adult children have been socially excluded.

In an interview with Forbes, Stevenson said that the demographics of sex doll buyers have changed. The interesting thing about the massive increase is that the demographic composition is also changing. This is very positive for the sex doll industry as it indicates a change in family attitudes.

Stevenson said in the interview that the increase in demand shows that the use of sex dolls is becoming mainstream. She added that both men and women are now interested in bringing dolls into the bedroom. Amit, another co-founder of Love Doll Genius and Stevenson's husband, said the demand is coming from couples. Amit told the Daily Star UK that they believe the sex doll industry will see a revolution during the pandemic. This is due to a significant increase in orders from couples and singles.

Sex Doll Genie wants to introduce a breathing sex doll

Interestingly, the company plans to launch sex robots that breathe and have a heartbeat. Amit states that he has never seen a breathing sex robot used on a human. Such dolls are still being manufactured. However, the company has now progressed to the point where it can call the breathing dolls sex robots. However, technically, they are still used as love dolls.

Humans adapt quickly to technology

As history shows, humans humanize technology at an astonishing rate. One of the earliest examples of artificial intelligence was ELIZA, a speech processor developed by Joseph Weizenbaum in 1966. By today's standards, ELIZA is a simple conversation stimulator that can only hold short conversations. Despite knowing that it is a computer program, people are still attracted to it. Many users say they prefer interacting with ELIZA than other humans.

British AI expert David Levy found that people form strong bonds even without the technology of AI. In Levy's book Love and Sex with Robots, he cites a study of owners of AIBO robot dogs. The study found that a significant number of owners attributed real emotions and conscious behavior to their robot dogs. Levy writes that people want their robot pets to be real pets. For this reason, they attribute dog-like emotions to them. It is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown have led to a dramatic increase in the demand for sex dolls. People who felt lonely sought company in these female silicone dolls. On the other hand, there are also people who turn to sex dolls out of sheer caution. The coronavirus can be transmitted through direct contact. For this reason, people are afraid to have sex with real people because they think they might contract the deadly virus.
