Child sex abuse doll torsos and disembodied heads being sold on China's Temu, Shein to get around laws forbidding the importation of sex abuse material

Child sex abuse doll torsos and disembodied heads are being offered for sale on Temu and Shein in what advocates say may be a bid to get around Australian laws.

Campaigners say the products are advertised in parts as hairdressing mannequins and are often described as "adult toys" despite their child-like features.

The Australian Border Force has reported a "disturbing" rise in attempts to import child-like sex dolls, seizing 47 in the past year alone.

Ok i draw the line at "relatively healthy" as being sexually attracted to children literally requires the part of your brain that identifies viable sexual partners to be malfunctioning

Also looking at the link there was like one genuine skeevy doll, the rest was wild asian BESM fetish shit or loli, which although not my cup of tea is not CSAM because, you know, adults playing dressup aren't fckn' children.

"Relatively" was the direct comparison I made between practising sexuality on a childlike doll, and practising sexuality on a child. That is relatively healthy; healthier than the alternative. eta: i agree with the sentiment you're expressing.
