England's Children's Commissioner says Amazon should remove "disgusting" child sex dolls from its website, after a BBC investigation found they continue to be sold on its platform.

More than a dozen child sex dolls were found for sale on Amazon Marketplace.

After the BBC contacted Amazon about one doll it was removed, but three days later it was back on the website.

Amazon said it had now removed all the specific products which the BBC drew to its attention.

In a statement Amazon said: "All Marketplace sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don't will be subject to action including potential removal of their account. The products in question are no longer available."

The UK Border Force has seized 179 child-like sex dolls since March 2016 as part of Operation Shiraz, a special operation set up in conjunction with the National Crime Agency.

In July 2017, a judge ruled child sex dolls were obscene items and therefore covered by the 1979 Customs and Excise Management Act.

However, it is not a criminal offence to manufacture or possess a child sex doll: individuals can only be charged for importing them.

I'm shocked that this was ever allowed, and surprised that no action can be taken against those owning one

Tbf I'd rather it be a doll than a real child that these people were having sex with.

Everyone would rather that, but some say the dolls don't stop potential offenders:

The NSPCC has warned use of the dolls can lead people to harm children.

Designed to be as lifelike as possible, they are made of a silicone type material and weigh as much as a child.

The dolls are made in such a way as to enable sex acts to be performed on them.

The head of policy at the children's charity NSPCC, Almudena Lara, highlighted the danger child sex dolls can pose to children.

She told the BBC: "We already know that there is a risk that people using these dolls could become desensitised and their behaviour could become normalised to them, so that they go on to harm children, as is often the case with those who view indecent images of children online.

"There is absolutely no evidence that using the dolls stops potential abusers from abusing children.

I'm not saying that it's full proof, but surely we need to be able to come up with something to stop Paedophiles from having sex with real children?

do you think that a man having sex with a "normal" sex doll diminishes his wish to have sex with a real woman? I don't

But what's your solution to trying to stop Paedophiles from acting out on children? Alot of them get "rehabilitated" and then re-offend all over again.

If not the doll idea then I do wonder if we should go like Japan with the Lolicon stuff, it's a disgusting genre imo but Japan does have less of a crime rate for Paedophilia than the UK so they must be doing something right with it.

I kind of get what Mock saying but even the representation of children is dodgy. Maybe if it was proved to keep them away from real kids.

Thank you Jaxie.

I know it's not a nice solution, but Governments do need to start trying out new ideas to lower the crime rate for Paedophilia.

Sterilisation would be the most effective method.

How would it? Doesn't that just mean they can't have kids? It doesn't necessarily take away desire does it?

depends how they are sterilised

but at a minimum, owners of these dolls should be on a register.

I should have said "castration".

But does castration end sexual desire? I'm not sure it does.

Can a sex offender still have sex after he's been castrated?
He can still have an erection. In general, castrated men experience a much-diminished sex drive, because their bodies have very low levels of the male hormone testosterone. This lowers the frequency, strength, and duration of erections, and can cause hot flashes, vertigo, loss of body hair, and breast growth.

Nothing is faultless, but that would possibly be the best way to lower ability and desire to offend.
