This is the world we live in: one in which depraved sex dolls (including child sex dolls) are sold online and shipped worldwide.
In the wake of The Foundation for Responsible Robotics’ report, Our Sexual Future With Robots, the making of these machines – and exactly what they’re capable of – has come under the spotlight. And the findings are shocking.

The Roxxxy TrueCompanion is one doll making headlines for one of its five ‘personality’ settings: Frigid Farrah. According to the website, Frigid Farrah is “reserved and shy” and won’t be “too appreciative if you touched her in a private area,” news.com.au reports.
In the words of the New York Times: “she’s yours to rape for just $US9995.”
Frigid Farrah isn’t alone. Another company is creating dolls which allow the user to “set the limits and she will let herself be taken along for the ride – she’s the perfect submissive partner,” according to the Times.
Meanwhile, a Canadian court is currently determining whether a man should be found guilty of possessing child pornography after he ordered a child sex doll online.
“We do need policymakers to look at it and the general public to decide what is accessible and permissible,” report co-author Professor Noel Sharkey has told the BBC. “We need to think as a society what we want to do about it.”
A word to the makers (and users) of these dolls: rape is an abhorrent form of sexual violence. Doll or not.
