"Political fascism in Europe, beginning in the 1930’s, affected German and Austrian sex researchers, forcing many to shut down research and development institutes and flee their countries. The Berlin Institute for Sexual Science was destroyed by fascist gangs in 1933 (Meyenburg & Sigusch, 1977). The psychological community has contributed little to literature on the sex-doll phenomenon. The sex research at the turn of the 20th century described the use of sex dolls and statues as a pathology, without supporting empirical evidence (Schewe & Moreno, 2011). Iwan Bloch and Havelock Ellis likened statue love to necrophilia: “Closely allied to these necrophilist tendencies is the remarkable ‘Venus statuaria’...apart from certain aesthetic motives...we have to do, for the most part, with the same motives that give rise to necrophilia—sadistic, masochistic, and fetishistic” (Bloch, 1908. p. 467)"
