On the one hand, some proponents of dolls suggest that they offer a safe sexual outlet for minor-attracted people (MAPs) and could be used in efforts to prevent the sexual abuse of children. On the other side of the debate, child-like dolls are seen as articles that sexualize children, encourage deviant fantasies, and increase offending risk. To date, no empirical analyses have been undertaken with people who own such dolls. In this paper, we present data from child-like sex doll owners (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200985) and MAPs who do not own dolls (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009120) recruited from online forums visited by people who own sex dolls or forums for people with sexual attractions to children. Specifically, we compared their psychological characteristics and proclivities for sexual aggression. Among non-owners, 79.2% of participants declared an interest in owning a sex doll, which is higher than the 20\u201340% rate reported in adult-attracted samples of non-owners. We found few differences between the groups on most personality variables, with doll owners being less antisocial and anxiously attached than non-owners, but exhibiting more schizotypal traits. Related to offending proclivities, doll ownership was associated with lower levels of sexual preoccupation and self-reported arousal to hypothetical abuse scenarios, but higher levels of sexually objectifying behaviors and anticipated enjoyment of sexual encounters with children. We discuss these data in relation to a functional model of child-like sex doll ownership among MAPs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508-022-02422-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,19]],"date-time":"2022-09-19T13:02:36Z","timestamp":1663592556000},"page":"4141-4156","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Exploring the Ownership of Child-Like Sex Dolls"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3172-0129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Craig A.","family":"Harper","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Lievesley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2422_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1177\/0306624X01451002","volume":"45","author":"BA Arrigo","year":"2001","unstructured":"Arrigo, B.
