Adam Ash rues the loss of the world's first sex doll.
The Nazis invented the worst thing ever: the assembly-line death factory. But they also invented something else, perhaps the only legacy of theirs that endures to this very day. During World War II, Hitler's war machine created the world's first sex doll: Borghild.…

At about the time of his first ejaculation, almost every male human "invents" the sex doll.
In Portnoy's complaint" it was a jar of liver.

In wikipedia under sex doll it states that one of the oldest historical records of "sex dolls" dates back to the fifteenth century. French sailors would take on long trips a "dame de Voyage" life sized cloth doll, Natzi's didn't invent it they brought the concept back to the modern world, with new materials. Artists create, geniuses steal. And the natzi's enslaved an awfull lot of geniuses.

You are confusing Nazi with German.

dont really care about who invented the sex doll, but the sheer concept of the Nazis INVENTING the sex doll - that no other concept or model had ever been created - is quite simply preposterous. Even if the Egyptians had invented a portable vagina, or the Romans had invented the glory-hole, there is no way that those scummy, universally hated, pieces-of-trash Nazis could have created the first-EVER sex doll.

This is a non objective article. The sex dolls are not the only legacy of the Nazis, not at all. They set the bases for many technological innovations of the later decades. Like the rocket technology used for space exploration and atomic fission used for nuclear power. Of course that doesn't make them any better considering the crimes they commited towards humanity.

Adam old boy, sorry to burst your bubble, but rubbery dolls were doing the rounds, if that's the word, in navies of the 19th century.
Naval doctors of the era blamed the use of such things for the spread of venereal disease among ships' crews.
After your recent fine effort on solutions for Iraq, you've let this one slip without doing your homework and so the whole thing is therefore null and void.
Nevertheless, if you are looking for someone to blame for pure filth and perversion, the Nazis are a great and deserving target. They were dirty bastards.

"perhaps the only legacy of theirs that endures to this very day"
Are you Jewish? What about stealth planes, cruise missiles, intercontinental rockets, the first recording on magnetic tape was a Hitler speech.

Well remember that the nazies liked the eficiency, and losing soldiers for deseace was not aceptable for them, and they had many advantages in the chemical fields, i believe that they maybe did it, because today there is the "real doll", but after manu years of chemical science, in the 40`s they may had the knwoledge to make it happen.

Germans (not just the Nazi variety) either invented or had a hand in inventing many things we take for granted on a daily basis, not excluding military vehicles and weaponry. Pre-Nazi Germans are also one of the biggest immigrant groups in the United States. I believe the authour was stating that the Nazis invented the first life-like sex doll. As for the previous posters comments, a cloth thing about the size of a woman is not the same as something that looks and feels lifelike. It's like a caveman's wheel vs. the modern tire. Germans were and still are responsible for many advances in technology, education, psychology, physics, you name it.

This is one of Adam Ash's best contributions to BC.
As for Nazi lasting legacies, they include the autobahn, the Volkswagen, and in a less direct sense, the "New Age" movement.
As for the plastic sex bomb, there is a point that came to me that makes me wonder: the goal of the plastic sex bomb was to prevent disease. How does this "organ" of the sex bomb get cleaned off so that Hans' own diseases don't infect Pieter's peter?

"What remained of the project was destroyed when allied warplanes destroyed Dresden in 1945. Which proves that the Dresden bombing was a true atrocity: now we don't have a copy of the world's first sex doll"
Repulsive comment! Making mockery of the deliberate fire bombing of hundreds of thousands of civilians. I guess its somewhat acceptable to make such comments when the deceased are German women and children it appears. Hypocrisy

Gee, I dunno, Paul.
We Jews took enough shit from the German pricks over a number of centuries that we're entitled to a snide remark here and there.
After all, when the Germans' ancestors were still trying to figure out which variety of grass to wipe their butts with in the plains of central Asia, Adam Ash's (and my) ancestors were princes here in Israel.
You want to jump up and down and rant about hypocrisy? Go ahead and knock yourself out. But don't expect me to be impressed.

Considering its around 1945, the "first sex doll" is highly plausible no matter who we're talking about here, after all, look at how many civilizations & sexual activity came before 1945...c'mon boys & gyrls...don't be so easily led by the ears!
No way, no how. There wasn't too many "firsts" in sex by the time 1945 came around! Just a lot of secrets that people couldn't bring themselves to understand, let alone say out loud. Thank God for the 21st century! You guys are much too easy. Ha! Peace.

Anyone who stands up for nazis are gaaaaaaay. I mean who would just hate a single race so much, for what reason? Did they read the bible and find were it says that the jews are the promised ones. And if anyone is offended by my post I dont give a rotten anal wart. =] yup that was off topic...

Actually there are quite a few thing that the Nazis invented that are here to this very day, such as the Volkswagen Bug, the Autobahn and the concept of environmentalism and animal rights.
