Doll fetish

Doll fetishism is a sexual fetish in which an individual is attracted to dolls and doll like objects such as figurines. The attraction may include the desire for actual sexual contact with a doll, a fantasy of a sexual encounter with an animate or inanimate doll, encounters between dolls themselves, or sexual pleasure gained from thoughts of being transformed or transforming another into a doll.
Role play
Doll fetishism is often played out as a role play between two or more people. The "doll" is often a female or male dressed to resemble a Barbie doll in shape: bold hair, enhanced breasts, small waist (normally from a very tight corset), high heels and a revealing outfit made from rubber, latex or spandex.
Some individuals enjoy seeing their partners' unique characteristics minimized and adapted in favor of more uniform doll-like features.
A doll is a child's toy that represents a baby, child or miniature person, and can include likenesses of animals and imaginary creatures. Dolls can be fashioned from a vast array of materials, ranging from stone, clay, wood, bone, cloth and paper, to porcelain, china, rubber and plastic. Playing with dolls usually involves role play and imagination.
Dolls that represent babies or children are traditionally most popular among girls. Action figures representing superheroes and their predecessors, action dolls, are particularly popular among boys.
Virtual environments
Virtual worlds (a computer-based simulated environment) offer unique opportunities for exploring this fetish, where individuals are represented by modifiable avatars. Players can adorn themselves with plastic appearing skin, stereotypical hair and costumes, even going so far as to remove all distinguishing characteristics from other dolls in the environment and being identified by number instead of name. There are also fetish sites that feature videos and animated .gif pictures of individuals achieving orgasm onto or by use of a small figurine.
The anime series Rozen Maiden features a cast of "living" dolls that, among various online communities, sparked an interest in the more classic style of porcelain dolls built with ball-joints at the apex of the arms and legs. In some instances (as seen on some numerous internet imageboards) the ball-joints themselves are considered the object of the fetish rather than the doll they are a part of, much like the armpit of an individual rather than the individual themselves.
Dolls for adults
While dolls have traditionally been toys for children, they are also collected by adults, for their nostalgic value, beauty, historical importance or financial value. In ancient times, dolls were used as representations of a deity, and played a central role in religious ceremonies and rituals. Lifelike or anatomically correct dolls are used by health professionals, medical schools and social workers to train doctors and nurses in various health procedures or investigate cases of sexual abuse of children.
Artists sometimes use jointed wooden mannequins in drawing the human figure. In rendered art, computer models are used (e.g. in Poser).
"The Transport Box"
The photos above were taken by Robin Roberts to illustrate an adult story titled "The Rent-a-wife". In the story, a person could place an online order for a companion for a given number of days or weeks. The "Rent-a-wife" would be dressed and outfitted to the specifications requested by the client, boxed, and shipped to the client, who would open his package, and use it in any way he might so desire. When he was finished, he would simply return "the toy" to the box and ship it back in the transport box to the factory where it would be cleaned, refurbished and readied for the next client.
– As one might imagine this description is a VERY abbreviated.
Dolls and spanking
Children often play with dolls in scenarios where the child plays the role of an adult (e.g. a parent) and the doll plays the role of a child. In such scenarios, it is not uncommon for the child to scold and/or punish the doll for being "naughty", for example by spanking the doll (see children spanking dolls). In people's imagination and in spanking fiction, there is also the topic of dolls that are designed for spanking, see spanking dolls.
