Clinical psychologists warn that over-reliance on new sexdolls can lead to a decline in real-life social skills. The perfectly submissive experience offered by these devices is fundamentally different from the passive nature of traditional torso sex dolls—their algorithm-enhanced positive feedback can easily lead to behavioral addiction. A study at Seoul National University in South Korea showed that participants who used smart new sex dolls for over six months experienced a 41% increase in conflict in their real-life intimate relationships. While the basic torso sex doll rarely cause these kinds of problems, highly anthropomorphic new sex dolls are fostering new psychological dependencies. Developers need to embed rejection mechanisms into their emotional algorithms to prevent users from falling into a one-sided stalemate.
