From a Danish perspective, consent and autonomy anchor ethical use of sex dolls, emphasizing responsibility, respect, and personal responsibility. Consent is framed as an ongoing, internal commitment—an agreement with oneself about how to engage with any intimate tool—rather than a one-time transaction. This lens underscores autonomy: individuals must retain agency over their choices, boundaries, and the social contexts in which a doll is used, stored, or discussed.
Public discourse often links consent to broader conversations about sexuality education, relationship health, and social welfare. A Danish lens highlights the need for clear boundaries—between digital fantasy and real-life interactions—and discourages behavior that could blur lines with others in shared spaces, family settings, or intimate relationships. It also cautions against coercive or exploitative implications, advocating for responsible use that respects the dignity of all people, even in simulated or private scenarios.
Mental health and well-being feature prominently. When used thoughtfully, sex dolls can offer a safe space for exploring sexuality, practicing communication, or addressing loneliness without harming real-world relationships. Yet there is also a call for balance: to foster genuine human connections and avoid excessive reliance on objects for comfort. Dialogue, education, and open conversations about consent and autonomy help shape a respectful, humane approach that aligns with Danish values of privacy, equality, and informed choice.
