Summary Of 15 Countries Where Sex Dolls Are Prohibited

Owning a sex doll seems to be a common matte in modern times, especially as we live in a modern world where the social atmosphere is gradually opening up, and more and more people are committed to challenging religious beliefs.

However, in some regions and countries, sex dolls can still get people into serious trouble. They may be seized and destroyed, or they may violate the law. Perhaps out of religion or belief, they believe that humans are sacred and should live with humans, and these man-made characters are low-level and tasteless, which is a huge taboo.

The following is a list of 15 areas where sex dolls are prohibited:

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is the second-largest tourist destination in the Middle East. Every year, more than 20 million tourists come to visit the beautiful sand dunes and ancient tombs. However, in addition to banning alcohol and eating pork, this country also bans sex dolls. According to Islamic law, sex dolls and other related objects are forbidden because they are the products of sinful desires.

But there are so-called “halal shops” in Mecca, but they do not sell sex dolls. Instead, they sell scented candles, essential oils, and creams, which are designed to improve the atmosphere and increase appeal.

Iraq and Iran

Iraq and Iran are both Muslim countries and have absolutely zero tolerance for alcohol, drug abuse, and sex dolls. Since these two countries are strict and tend to keep their laws and management secrets as outside secrets, the punishment is relatively light, but confiscation is inevitable.

In an incident in 2017, the Iraqi army discovered a basement filled with alcohol, soft drugs, and sex dolls, and determined that both Iraqi and Iranian citizens were involved in the transaction. The specific details of the punishment were not disclosed to the public, but it is safe to say that these people will not be released easily.

 Kuwait

It is rumored that sex dolls will be legalized in Kuwait, however, it has not been realized by 2021. According to reports, the customs found the relevant express but it was immediately destroyed. The person who ordered the goods was subsequently taken away for questioning and was fined economically for violation of the law.

Mauritius

The Middle East countries are not the only regions in the world that have so-called “abstinence” laws. Africa also has clear laws prohibiting the import of sex dolls.

Mauritius is an island country and is famous for its beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and animals such as monkeys and turtles that roam the streets freely. It is currently one of the most popular tourist countries. However, the local area is very strict about what is brought into the country, and sex dolls are one of the prohibited items. In Mauritius, if you find you buy sex dolls, you may face up to one year’s imprisonment and the risk of 100,000 Mauritian rupees (about 16,000 yuan).

Mexico

Unexpectedly, I will see this country on the list, right? In my impression, Mexico is a country full of enthusiasm, but there are some things you can’t do in Mexico, one of which is buying sex dolls.

On the other hand, there are stores of the same category in Mexico. However, you can only buy underwear and some fetish items, such as various leather goods and eye masks.

Maldives

Tropical islands are definitely everyone’s dream destination, but in the Maldives, sex dolls are also forbidden. In fact, you will be confiscated during the courier inspection, and the authorities may even sentence you to jail. Once, a man was sentenced to 6 months in jail for owning a doll.

Panama

To say the least, the laws of Panama are a bit strange. It is not yet clear whether sex dolls are really illegal, nor do they know what penalties will be imposed for breaking the law. However, there seems to be no sex doll in this country, and no company in the industry claims that their products have been sold to Panama.

Thailand

Thailand and Mexico are the two countries that surprised me the most. Because sex dolls are not allowed in this country called “the city that never sleeps” and “men’s paradise”, but they have the most “third people” in the world.

Thailand is rich in culture, adventure, and food. You might think that their society is free and open because gender changes are very common there. But this is not the case. Sex dolls are illegal here. It is listed as a prohibited item in Thailand. Although the punishment is not very severe, a certain fine will still be imposed.

Vietnam

In 2011, the General Administration of Customs of Vietnam announced that it would not allow sex doll-related products to enter the country.

Although the country’s laws have been “softened” and there are related shops, in the short term, the country is still repelled, even if the punishment is not as severe as some of the countries mentioned above.

Malaysia

Malaysia is a very popular tourist destination because shopping is surprisingly cheap.

Although it looks like a laid-back place, it is illegal to own and sell sex dolls under Malaysian Criminal Law. Unlike Vietnam and Thailand, in Malaysia, if you are caught carrying any sex doll-related items, you will be fined and imprisoned for up to 3 years.

Alabama, USA

Sex dolls seem to be a problem, even in some parts of the United States. According to state regulations promulgated in 1998, the sale of sex dolls has been criminalized. The act defines sex dolls as any doll products designed or sold to stimulate humans.

Norway (sex doll under 125cm)

If you live in Norway, you are allowed to buy sex dolls, but if you don’t want to end up paying a huge fine or even 3 years in jail, there is a law that you need to pay attention to.

As early as 2017, the Norwegian Supreme Court signed a law prohibiting citizens from buying sex dolls under 125 cm because of concerns that mini sex dolls might be at risk of child abuse.

India

India is a country full of exotic colors, and it is also the birthplace of Kamasutra, but in terms of sex dolls and other products, India has no lack of strange legal provisions.

The Criminal Law of India stipulates that any book, picture, person, or object that triggers inappropriate thoughts and behavior should be regarded as obscene, and then it will be banned. This means that sex dolls can be legal or illegal, depending on how they look and how they are sold.

Brazil

Brazil is another surprising country. The country of origin of enthusiastic samba even rejects sex dolls. But it must be stated that there are no clear laws and regulations in this country to clearly state the legality of sex dolls.

Sex dolls are not available in Brazil. A related website clearly states that they are illegal, but there is no further information. On the other hand, there is another article saying that Brazil and Norway have similar laws, and only sex dolls that meet the limited size can be purchased.
