Sex doll customers order models that ‘look like their friends’ girlfriends’ in bizarre trend
SEX doll customers are ordering models that look like their mates' girlfriends, it's claimed.
Doll-makers Silicone Sex World say celebrity lookalikes aren't as popular as you might expect, with blokes opting for more "every day" looks.
Product specialist Andy Phelps told the : "We do get customers who enquire about celebrity dolls, although they are not as popular as you may think.
"We do get some strange requests for dolls that look like friends' girlfriends."
The weird trend is also confirmed by the founder of Sex Doll Official, Jade Stanley.
Ms Stanley, who runs an adult shop near Birmingham, told the Star: "In terms of customisation, it's anything whatsoever — celebrity, dead spouse or someone you fancy."
"It really does vary, you get people asking for a Kim Kardashian, or a girl next door.
"It's just so different across the board."
