Importing Sex Dolls Into Botswana Now An Offence

Botswana lawmakers have placed an embargo on the importation of sex dolls for men.

This is as contained in a section of their law that disavows men from copulating with sex dolls.

According to Section 178 of the Botswana Penal Code, bringing sex toys in Botswana is an offence.

The law further abolishes the right to “possess, lend, trade in, export, import, and or exhibit obscene objects or any objects tending to corrupt morals in Botswana,” which includes sex dolls.


Women have continued to express their continued hate and disapproval for sex dolls as they believe that the potential competition will cause a surge in the rise of divorce rates and tamper human relationships as well.

Some questioned the ability of sex dolls to bear children, support the man and the home emotionally and do the house chores.

A social worker with expertise in complicated marriages, mental health and addiction is less positive about the sudden demand for sex dolls.

She fears men will eventually prefer sex with robots over human love making.
