According to history, Dutch sailors, feeling lonely during their long voyages, decided to get creative by making hand-sewn leather puppets. They sourced the leather from Japanese sailors, who had access to high-quality materials. These innovative sailors crafted the first traditional
sex dolls to cope with their isolation and loneliness at sea. These early creations, known as "dames de voyage" or "traveling ladies," were a practical solution to the sailors' need for companionship during their extended periods away from home.
