Countries that ban child sex dolls

The question of whether child-like sex dolls should be allowed or not has been debated all across the world. Some countries have passed laws that prohibit any advertisement, sale, or use of sex dolls within their respective jurisdictions.

But some people have come out clearly with their views that sex dolls can be therapeutic; this means that people that often find themselves sexually attracted to children can use the sex dolls to reduce their urge hence. However, this argument has not been enough to convince the governments of the countries.
