Why pool toys in particular? Is it just because they’re human sized? Is Helen Parr once again responsible?

No, they’re usually “furry”, so animals or animal people. I understand it in the same way I understand people into plushie transformation. Imagine being a soft creature with no worries or cares that people hug and cuddle for comfort. The worst imaginable thing that could happen to you is if you split a seam. Alternatively, imagine being a buoyant creature who’s only job is to float, bob up and down on the water, and occasionally carry a person (or more, if you’re big enough). No worries, not a care in the world except for maybe the occasional air leak. No thoughts, head empty.

Basically that, lol. That said, the general vibe I’ve gotten from seeing plushie or pool toy art is that it’s less about mindless sex (compared to drone or doll transformation) and more about filling some other emotional need in a mindless manner; like mindless comfort or relaxation. I mean, there absolutely is a sex side to it (I’ve seen that art too), but my impression is that they aren’t centered around it.
