Book’s ‘Childlike Sex Doll’ Bill advances
I just had to laugh at the debate over this stupid bill that took place in the Florida legislature yesterday. To back up; Senator Lauren Book whose life mission is to perpetuate panic and fear over anything sexual in order to stoke funding for her charity, has proposed a bill to ban ‘childlike sex dolls’. It would be illegal to own, borrow, lend one out, etc…
You have to wonder how they are going to make a determination on what’s ‘child like’. Would the next phase of this bill require that sex dolls come with birth certificates, like a Cabbage Patch Kid? Are they going to train a forensic expert to determine whether the doll is 14? Will there be strict liability or will ‘but officer, the packaging said she was 19’ be a defense? Will the age of consent be a factor on determining whether 16 or 18 are the threshold?
If you thought these considerations on ‘childlike sex dolls’ are laughable, wait until you hear the arguments from actual politicians on the topic of ‘childlike sex dolls’:
- Sen. Lauren Book: “It’s like tempting an addict with their drug of choice, These kids deserve being protected.”
Really Lauren? These are blobs of plastic. Maybe, as Therapist Richard Siegel argued yesterday, the dolls enable someone to get their fix and thereby protect REAL kids?
- Congressman Dan Donovan,”The dolls and robots not only lead to rape, but they make rape easier by teaching the rapist about how to overcome resistance and subdue the victim,”
Seriously? What’s wrong with you, Dan? What goes through your mind to come up with these things? The same can be said of CPR dummies.
We’re not going to waste our effort on doing a call to action for this bill. We don’t really care if it passes because the feedback we’ve gotten is that it’s simply laughable and we all can’t wait to watch the law play out!

Some people cannot let things go, torture themselves, and their hatred just eats them up on the inside. It causes all sorts of emotional and physical problems. For most of my life I was an anger addict, It felt better to be angry and hateful than to allow myself to feel the pain of abuse and let it go. As hard as it was I have forgiven those who abused me. And believe me it wasn’t easy. One of the hardest person to forgive was myself!!! It took 15 years of therapy and soul searching to get to where I am now. Not saying that I don’t get angry at times but I let it go and don’t dwell on it. I no longer feel tense all the time, My stomach problems are no longer bothering me except for the acid reflux. Maybe someone who reads this will take a hard look into themselves and maybe my experience will help.
Thank you for sharing this, Jerry. I think it’s important for our members to find this site as a resource for support and emotional guidance and not just information.
We should ban plastic dolls from the FloriDUH legislature. Lauren can go back to her Malibu dream house and play house with Ken and Skipper.
When will the people of Florida come to their senses and get rid of these bozos in the statehouse? I fear sanity will never return to Florida before global warming inundates the whole place. What I can understand is why the federal courts – in South Florida particularly – are so reluctant to get with the rest of the country and begin to stop warring on sex and sexual expression in all forms. The prosecutors down there are corrupt and think only of convictions if and when they can be obtained. Of course it helps a defendant to be a billionaire, just like it did for Jeffrey Epstein and his case which was almost con commitment with mine in time and space. My offense was non–contact and nonviolent. Yet I got 97 months imprisonment, and “lifetime” everything else — Registration and supervised release. Epstein got a slap on the wrist. Almost no time at all and freedom to go to work every day for the few months he did spend in prison.
I may have said this before, but cannot understand why any person so abused as Lauren Book would want to devote her life to more and more exposure to anything remotely related to her 6+ years of abuse. I understand that it brings more money to her charity, but at the same time must continuously remind her of the past. At some point she may look back and see how her Senate position has been a waste of her time. The intentions may seen rational to her but really have no positive effect on helping children. I agree with other posts that efforts to help children are being overlooked, ie; drug abuse, hunger, education, drunk driving, foster care, not to mention the children of registrants!
Good point, Donna! This law has nothing to do with children! Children are exposed to violent TV shows and violent video games in the home that can influence them to become violent. This law has nothing to do with what goes on in the child’s home. Children can live with violence all around them, but Lauren is concerned with what goes on in the homes without children. Will there be a committee to approve dolls not to be childlike in appearance or will the decision if the doll is illegal be decided after it is determined the race of the accused?
Next they are going to push to forbid sex with adults that look child like in appearance
