Well, as far as I remember, the real toys liked being played with, and were even sad when they weren’t played with. So… theoretically sex dolls would also like being “played” with

Well why are tablets sentient but not TVs? Why not computers? Why not cars? Why not game consoles?

One reading would be that there is no sex in the Toy Story universe, because Toy Story is essentially a classic story about magic which disappears at the end of childhood/onset of adolescence, only remade as a CGI demo.

Of course, that narrative is from an earlier time, when childish things were put aside, and before “adulting” became a word. These days, a Toy Story universe would presumably have a red-light district full of sentient sex toys, though it would have to be an off-brand one, as Disney still own the IP and would never sign off on anything like that.

This is more like a showerthought thing. But they probably are sentient and like it

They like being used for what they were designed for. Playing or 'playing'

Maybe this is what they live for. They know their purpose and they love their people just like Woody loves Andy.

Imagine a movie plot where Sarah moves to a new state and forgets her vibrator collection. She doesn’t realize it yet but all the vibrators team up to embark on a madcap adventure to reunite with Sarah. On the way they they find a sad discarded buttplug with no owner and they bring him into the gang only to find out that he used to belong to Sarah’s lesbian lover who she’s moving to be with.

They're sentient if the child thinks of them as such. Andy's etch-a-sketch was used in play as a character, so it gets thoughts. The Lilypad, with its decorative face and hands, gets the same thing.

Really, the only gap in this logic I can think of in the toy story universe is the shipping crate of buzzes that no child has even seen yet, but besides them, toys tend to wake up and be alive when interacted with, either by a child or a toy that has itself come alive from a child. S
Even sitting on a store shelf, a child will still see the toy and imagine on occasion, so this still works for Stinky Pete.

I like to think that if they were unhappy with their situations, some of them would do something about it, considering how the toys got revenge on Sid for mistreatment.

The alternatives are all extremely dark and I wouldn't want to diminish what actual humans go through with abusive partners by digging into it.

Pretty sure there was a MadTV sketch about this back in the day.

Yup, just dredged it up. Its dumber and even lower quality than I remember, so not sharing link. That said a YouTube search for "MadTV Sex Toystory" will get you there.

I think the universe lore of toy story is that a kid's imagination is what brings toys to life. So a kid is required for a toy's sentience.

Honestly that does explain why the vibrators batteries always seem to be depleted.

I see some mentions of the Mad TV sketch, so shout out to the classic game IllBleed, which features a parody Toy Story level which includes a sentient "Sexy Doll". It's actually kinda interesting and dark, albeit very goofy.

That casts the original premise in a far darker light. Thanks, I hate it.

However, Sid's toys were plenty played with and they were constantly traumatized.

My God if masturbation did actually lead to harry palms I would not be balding now.
In fact, when the hair on my palms ran out of room, it would have had to begun to creep up my arms. By the time I was 15 I would have been a real life sasquatch.

I think buzzes were awake before because he had a tv show.

The toys are fighting for their lives; if they get abandoned they die. Woody doesn't want to be replaced by buzz , because then he will die.
