How Many People Own Sex Dolls?
Sex dolls remain a popular choice in the world of adult entertainment, despite the many innovations in sex toys. But how many people actually own them?
In the United States, around 10% of men and over 6% of women have a sex doll. This means roughly 16 million men and 10 million women are sex doll owners. The increasing popularity is partly due to greater accessibility and shifting attitudes. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, sales of sex dolls jumped by 75% in 2020 compared to the previous year.
The typical sex doll owner is usually a heterosexual male in his 40s. He is often white, single, and has at least a high school diploma. He works at least 30 hours a week and earns between $30,000 and $90,000 a year. Most owners have just one sex doll.
People buy sex dolls for various reasons. Many seek sexual satisfaction, while others are looking for companionship. Some also use their dolls to enhance their experiences with human partners. Interestingly, over 70% of buyers decide to purchase a sex doll without discussing it with their partners first.
The market for sex robots is also growing, though it is still smaller compared to traditional sex dolls. More people are showing interest in these advanced products.
In summary, sex dolls are a significant and expanding part of the adult toy market. With millions of owners and rising sales, they continue to be a popular and personal choice for many people.
