I have a bit of a silly question: why are most bjds anatomically correct? More specifically, why do some come with interchangeable dongs of different sizes? I've even seen some come with snakes or a random, disembodied hand instead. My best guess is because they're under the art doll category, so they just can be anatomically correct (and maybe the artists have hella fun sculpting those parts lol). I find it both amusing and confusing!

Okay, okay, it's ding-dong season here? 🤣

Snakes aside, BJDs are anatomically correct because for asians anatomy it's not a cause of shame. Imagine if you get a doll without a leg just because a specific culture it's ashamed of limbs for some reason? 😆

The problem it's westerns views on the matter, our "church morals" and "sculpted underwear" on Barbie and Ken dolls perception of "how dolls should look like".

Let's remember that there was actually a time in which we called these dolls ABJD, "A" standing for "Asian", therefore reflecting this was asian culture engraved on a doll that had ball jointed system like previous european ones, but framed the standards of beauty and culture from Asia.

Just like most female dolls have small feet and bigger eyes, or male dolls look rather androgynous, one of the first times ABJDs were marked as the appeal of western culture was with Iplehouse, who started to make bulky masculine full of "western beauty features" just like their female lines sometimes appearing more like a (p0rn) ideal model in regards to the "proportions" and face.

Then, soon after, since this was an adult hobby (there were NO recasts back then and it was considered that only, or at least "mostly" working adults were the only consumers of these dolls because how else a normal 10yo kid would pay for a $750+100 on shipping doll?), People started to relate their characters with their adult fanfiction with the hobby of photography. Therefore generating a demand of "different posed weenies", to take "intimate pictures" of such characters.

And at first, this "articulated" or "interchangeable" parts weren't by no means the norm. They were offered by some lesser known brand companies. But as they became a hit with fans, just like, DikaDoll/SOOM "jointed hands", eventually many other companies jumped on the selling wagon of different interchangeable 🍆🍆's.

Fast forwarding to "when companies run out of ideas" (*ahem*) when more options were added (crazy ones because everything else had been invented for the most part and the companies were still looking to being trending in new innovative ways, which is crazy because dolls have exist since almost the dawn of humankind, so there isn't much to add, at least at certain point), "fantasy ding dong" parts were made in a desperate try to captive buyers, AND, there you have the ""snake parts"", or the BJDs that are just a weenie with arms and legs (I'm SO not making this up, I swear, Google it, seriously, you might redefine many concepts of your existence).

So! Why do we have it? Normal anatomically correct dolls were a cultural gap. Interchangeable p parts were made for kinky adult photography from fans, AND, "snake parts" or such were a late attempt to capture buyers with something unique, but... it didn't went as planned.

That's pretty much it.
