While some assert that the increasingly lifelike sex dolls will serve as a deterrent to criminal sexual acts against children by pedophiles, many experts believe the nascent, burgeoning industry will encourage sexual predation, leading to an increase, not a decrease, in the sexual exploitation of children.

"Additionally, psychologists and researchers believe that these dolls reinforce, normalize, and encourage pedophilic behavior, potentially putting more children at risk to harm."

"In fact, emerging psychology on the topic says these obscene dolls encourage abuse of real children," said Rep. Donovan in an op-ed in The Hill. "Peter Fagan from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine recently told The Atlantic that child sex dolls likely have a 'reinforcing effect' on pedophiles, and "in many instances cause [the urge] to be acted upon with greater urgency"...
