Love Sex Doll

Ovid writes of a myth in which a sex doll was sculpted from ivory by a man from Cyprus named Pygmalion. She was named Galatea. He became so enchanted with the beauty of his own handiwork that he fed her, bathed her, slept with her and did, indeed, put her to the use of a sex doll. Eventually the goddess Aphrodite brought the statue to life.
'Sheela-na-gigs' are marble carvings of naked women that can be found on many old churches around England and Ireland. It was said that by caressing them an individual could gain the power to heal others.
There has long been a sailor's term, or "dama de viaje" in French and Spanish and also "Seemannsbraut" in German respectively, indicating a female doll made of sewn cloth and used by sailors aboard ship.
A 1982 attempt to import a consignment of sex dolls into Britain had the unintended consequence of ending the law against importing "obscene or indecent" items that were not illegal to sell within the UK. Having had the dolls seized by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise officers, David Sullivan's Conegate Ltd. took the case all the way to the European Court of Justice, and won in 1987. Britain was forced to lift its stringent import prohibitions dating from 1876, because for imports from within the European Community they constituted a barrier to free trade under the terms of the Treaty of Rome.
