Sexpert Dr. Lisa Lawless Explores 'Barbie-Mania' in New Article

BEND, Ore. — Clinical psychotherapist and sexual health expert Dr. Lisa Lawless of Holistic Wisdom has published a new blog post titled "Barbie-mania: The World Of Barbie, Sex & Gender Roles."

In the article, Lawless explores the impact Barbie has had on sexual fetishes since the doll's inception and in the wake of the recently released live-action film. 

"Dr. Lawless examines the psychological aspects of childhood interactions with Barbie dolls, unraveling the potential attraction and triggers the dolls may elicit in adulthood," said a rep. "A spotlight is also placed on contrasting male figures in the film, Allan and Ken, representing diverse masculinities."

Lawless also notes an increase in Barbie-inspired sexual role-play, as well as Barbie-themed sessions amongst sex workers following the film's release.

"The iconic Barbie isn't merely a childhood toy but a powerful symbol representing society's ongoing dialogue on gender, identity, sexuality and autonomy," writes Lawless.
