Are the Genitalia of Anatomical Dolls Distorted?
Bays, Jan
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v14 n2 p171-75 1990
To determine whether the genitalia of anatomical dolls are disproportionately large and 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 were not found to be exaggerated. (Author/JDD)
