Across different cultures, the use of sex dolls in therapy and counseling is viewed through a variety of lenses that reflect societal norms, religious beliefs, and attitudes toward sexuality. In some societies, sex dolls are seen as tools for overcoming loneliness, reducing sexual frustration, or practicing intimacy skills, especially for individuals with social anxieties or disabilities. Therapists in these contexts may incorporate dolls into treatment plans to help clients explore their sexuality safely and comfortably. Conversely, in cultures with conservative views on sexuality, such uses may be stigmatized or considered taboo, limiting professional acceptance and integration. Ethical debates also arise regarding the potential for sex dolls to replace human relationships or reinforce objectification. Nevertheless, proponents argue that, when used responsibly, sex dolls can serve as beneficial therapeutic aids, providing emotional comfort and a safe space for self-exploration. Overall, cultural perspectives significantly influence the acceptance and application of sex dolls within therapeutic settings, highlighting the importance of cultural sensitivity and ethical considerations in their integration into mental health practices worldwide.
