Korea's customs office said Monday it will only permit the import of sex dolls that depict particular human body parts, but not the full body, starting this month. A sex doll refers to a realistic, adult-sized sex toy which resembles a man or woman. It may consist of an entire body with a face, or just a pelvic part. In 2019, the Supreme Court allowed imports of a certain type of life-size sex dolls on grounds that they are sex toys used in private life, not obscene materials as defined by the customs authority.
