The way young adults approach relationships and sexuality is evolving, and sex dolls are playing an unexpected role in this shift. No longer seen as taboo novelties, high-tech sex dolls are now considered by many as a legitimate way to enhance pleasure, reduce loneliness, and even improve self-esteem.
