Who invented the sex doll?
Sex dolls have long been an adjunct brought on stag and hen nights out.
But who invented them and why? Here is everything we all know ...
Who invented the sex doll?
The original inventor of the sex doll is unknown.
The earliest sex doll is credited to Dutch sailors within the 17th century who used a doll made from cloth to alleviate sexual tension during long sea voyages.
The first recorded magnify doll appeared in psychiatrists Iwan Bloch's book, "The Sexual lifetime of Our Time".
The book, published in 1908, described the doll to be used for sexual purposes.
After the sexual revolution of the late sixties, advertisements began to seem in magazines which allowed you to pick dolls with different hair colours and designs to suit the customer's desires.
Did Hitler create sex dolls?
During war 2, it had been rumoured that Hitler ordered sex dolls to be supplied to German troops fighting on the battlefront .
According to the rumours the Borghild Project aimed toward combating the spread of syphilis among Nazi troops by supplying the lads with sex dolls.
The project was supposedly inspired by Heinrich Himmler's 1940 memo to Hitler that there was a syphilis problem within the houses of prostitution in Paris.
In the report, he wrote, "The greatest danger in Paris is that the widespread and uncontrolled presence of whores."
Hitler supposedly approved the project to supply dolls to the soldiers who were to move them in their backpacks to permit them to avoid Parisian brothels.
Hitler allegedly gave his approval to the project, and designers set to figure creating a doll - or “gynoid” - under the supervision of Franz Tschackert at the German Hygiene Museum.
The lack of evidence supporting this theory led it to being deemed a hoax within the early 2000s.
the most supporting evidence for the project were two photographs purportedly rescued from the trash, which were later disproven as a hoax.
Further to the present , no employee at the German Hygiene Museum had recalled the project ever existing when asked.
