title: Are the genitalia of anatomical dolls distorted?
abstract: Allegations have been made that anatomical dolls have genitalia which are disproportionately large and which may suggest sexual activity to children who have not been abused. The genitalia and breasts of 17 sets of anatomical dolls were measured. When the measurements were extrapolated to adult human proportions, the sizes of the genitalia and breasts were not found to be exaggerated.
