Owning a fantasy sex doll may seem like a commonplace thing these days, especially since we live in a modern world where social mores are gradually opening up and more and more people are working to challenge religious beliefs. However, in some regions and countries, physical dolls can still get people into serious trouble, either by being seized and destroyed or by breaking the law. Perhaps out of religion or belief, they believe that people are sacred and should live with humans, and that these man-made class figures are low class, in poor taste and a huge taboo. Let's take a look at the countries and regions where sex dolls are banned.
African Countries
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is the second most popular tourist destination in the Middle East, with over 20 million tourists visiting the beautiful sand dunes and ancient tombs each year. However, in addition to the ban on alcohol and pork, this country also bans love dolls. Under Islamic law, physical dolls and other related items are forbidden because they are the product of sinful desires. However, there are so-called "halal stores" in Mecca, but instead of selling physical dolls, they sell scented candles, sex oils and other erotic items designed to improve the atmosphere and increase the attractiveness of men or women.
Mauritius
The Middle East is not the only region in the world with so-called "abstinence" laws, as Africa also has explicit laws against importing skinny sex doll. Mauritius is an island nation and is known for its beautiful beaches, coral reefs and animals such as monkeys and turtles that roam the streets. It is by far one of the most popular countries to visit, however, the locality is very strict about what is brought into the country and physical dolls are one of the prohibited items. Anyone found buying a physical doll in Mauritius may risk up to a year in jail and a fine of 100,000 Mauritian rupees (about three thousand dollars).
Asian Countries
Iraq and Iran
Iraq and Iran are both Muslim countries with absolutely zero tolerance for alcohol, drugs and physical dolls. Because both countries are strict and tend to keep their laws and administration a secret from the outside world, penalties are relatively light, but confiscation is inevitable. in one incident in 2017, Iraqi forces discovered a basement full of alcohol, soft drugs and physical dolls and determined that both Iraqi and Iranian citizens were involved in the trade. The exact details of the punishment were not revealed to the public, but it is safe to say that these people may never see the light of day for the rest of their lives.
Kuwait
Sex dolls are rumored to be legalized in Kuwait, however, it has not happened by 2022. Customs had reportedly found the shipment in question, but it was immediately destroyed and the person who ordered the goods was then taken in for questioning and fined financially for breaking the law.
Maldives
The tropical islands are definitely everyone's dream destination, however, physical dolls are also banned in the Maldives. In fact, they are confiscated during courier checks and the authorities may even sentence you to jail, as there was once a man who was sentenced to six months in jail for owning a doll.
Thailand
Thailand and Mexico are two of the most unexpected countries. Because, SHEDOLL are not allowed in this country known as the "city of the night" ", men's paradise", but they have the world's largest "third crowd", in Thailand has a wide variety of brothels in the alleys of the country. Thailand is rich in culture, adventure and food, and you might think that their society is free and open because gender variation is so common there. However, this is not the case, as physical dolls are illegal here and are classified as a prohibited item in Thailand, and while the penalties are not severe, they are still punishable by a fine.
Vietnam
In 2011, Vietnam's General Department of Customs announced that physical doll-related products would not be allowed into the country. Although the country's laws are now weakened and relevant stores exist, in the short term the country is still exclusive, even if the penalties are not as harsh as some of the countries mentioned above.
Malaysia
Malaysia is a very popular tourist destination because of the surprisingly cheap shopping. While it may seem like a laid-back place, the possession and sale of physical dolls is illegal under the Malaysian penal code. Unlike Vietnam and Thailand, in Malaysia, if you are caught with any physical doll related items, you will be fined and sentenced to up to 3 years in prison.
India
India, the exotic country that is also the birthplace of the Love Sutra, has no shortage of strange legalities when it comes to products like physical dolls. The Indian penal code states that any book, picture, figure or object that provokes inappropriate thoughts and behavior shall be considered obscene, and then it will be banned. This means that physical dolls can be legal or illegal, depending on how they look and how they are sold.
American Countries
Mexico
Couldn't have expected to see this country on the list could you? The impression is that Mexico is warm and welcoming country, but there are some things you can not do in Mexico, one of them is to buy physical dolls. Although erotic stores also exist in Mexico, however, you can only buy erotic lingerie and some items that increase eroticism there, such as various leather goods and eye patches.
Panama
The laws in Panama are a bit strange, to say the least. It's unclear whether Irontech Doll are actually illegal or what the penalties are for breaking the law. However, it appears that no physical dolls exist in this country, and no companies in the industry claim to have sold their products to Panama.
Alabama, USA
The sale of physical dolls has been criminalized under a state statute enacted in 1998, and it is hard to imagine that this is in the United States, where freedom is the watchword.
Brazil
The country of origin of the passionate samba would reject physical dolls. However, it must be stated that there are no clear laws and regulations in the country to specify the legality of physical dolls. Physical dolls are not available in Brazil, and there is a website about them that clearly says they are illegal, but no further information is available. On the other hand, there is another article that says Brazil and Norway have similar laws and only physical dolls that meet a limited size are available for purchase.
European Countries
Norway (physical dolls under 125cm are banned)
If you live in Norway, you are allowed to buy physical dolls, but if you don't want to end up paying a huge fine or even going to jail for 3 years, there is a law to be aware of. Back in 2017, the Norwegian Supreme Court signed a law banning citizens from buying teen sex doll under 125 cm for fear that small physical dolls carry the risk of child abuse.
