The father of modern sex dolls – German surrealist Hans Bellmer

Bellmer devoted his life to rebelling against art, against his father, against authority, and above all against the Nazi ideology that emerged in Germany in the 1930s.

Bellmer starts thinking of his niece after his wife becomes increasingly weak from tuberculosis, but he understands he can’t have a physical relationship with Ursula, but he’s inspired Kokoschka – as the inventor of the sex doll to realize this dream. Start making your own sex doll.With the support of his mother, he and his brothers Fritz and Lotpinzer created his 1933’s first sex doll.

The body of this sex doll is made of a broom and part of a metal rod, with a wooden shell on the outside. Unlike before, the inside of the doll is hollow. To further express his sexuality, Bell disassembled the doll, rearranged the parts, posed a series of sexy poses to express his sexual fantasies, and took many photos of the doll for it.

Ursula brought these pictures to Paris in 1934 and showed them to the surreal pioneers of the time. We don’t know if Ursula understood that Bellmer made the doll because of her obsession with her, and we don’t know if anything else happened to the family afterward. What we do know is that Bellmer had already made a second sex doll when Ursula returned from Paris in 1935.

second sex doll Improvements have been made on the basis of the first doll. The new sex doll has movable joints and twistable hips. “The body was also more erotic,” says Belmer. Surrealists claim that Belmer’s doll figure was used as a metaphor for an attack on the rigid dictatorship of the Nazi state (ref: Who Invented the First Sex Doll).

But what most people see is weird.

“Bellmer broke down his sex dolls and rearranged his characters in fetish and erotic ways, alleviating his fear of castration and expressing his creativity.”

In 1937, he founded third sex doll, but this time even more spooky and terrifying. It looks kind of creepy and most people don’t have sex with it.

After the sex doll was reduced to a tool for expressing various ideas in the hands of the surrealists, the development line of the doll was completely deviated in their hands, and its real practical value was ignored. The distortion of cute sex dolls for special political purposes should be resisted and strongly criticized.
