First sex doll-only brothel opens in Germany following success of Austrian outlet as bizarre trend spreads across Europe

The bizarre sex doll craze sweeping across Europe has reached Germany, with the country's first sex doll-only brothel opening for business.

Evelyn Schwarz, 29, runs the aptly named 'Bordoll' in Dortmund - a fusion of the words 'bordello' and 'doll'.

Originally looking into S&M, Schwarz instead decided to buy 11 silicone 'love dolls' - each of which she gave a unique name.

The five stone sex dolls are imported from Asia and cost her €2,000 (£1,786) each.

They all have different heights, hair colours and breast sizes. One sex doll is even made to look exactly like a blue-haired Japanese anime character.

It has been such a success that the dolls are booked around 12 times a day, costing €80 (£71) per hour.

Schwarz said: 'For many it is not a fetish, but more of a curiosity.'

She added: 'Actually I was looking for colleagues with good knowledge of German for the S&M scene, because for these practices communication is very important. But I did not find any.'

The brothel operator said that men of every age and profession from all across Germany have flocked to her brothel.

Schwarz said: 'From those on benefits to judges. Seventy percent of men also come back.'

Bizarrely, Schwarz said that the wives of many brothel visitors are reacting 'with tolerance' to their desires and are often seen 'waiting outside in the car' while their husband is having sex with a doll.

She said: 'They see it as a toy.'

Schwarz has only had one bad experience at her brothel so far, when an overly excited customer broke a doll, 'Anna' - the most popular one in the establishment.

Schwarz said she had to order a new one.

According to reports, sex industry experts estimate that people with a fetish for sex dolls are a growing group, and that they expect more dolls to be made available by brothels.

Austrian psychologist Gerti Senger explained why some men are more interested in sleeping with sex dolls instead of a real woman.

Senger said: 'First, the man can do anything with the doll. Second, every intention is turned off, which can be a factor with a prostitute.'

But Senger, who is a co-chair at the Austrian Society for Sexual Research, said that she was shocked by some dolls being more popular than real prostitutes and called it 'a real autistic tendency'.

It was reported earlier this year that sex doll 'Fanny' became the top-selling superstar of the 'Kontakthof' brothel in the Austrian capital of Vienna, getting more customers than the real prostitutes.

At the Ars Electronica Festival in the city of Linz, an interactive silicone sex doll named 'Samantha' became so popular that it broke down because so many visitors groped its breasts and soiled its body.

In Germany, a new brothel has now opened that caters exclusively to those who are attracted to plastic sex dolls.

China started it with rentals, but the Germans take it to the logical conclusion and open up brothel full of fuck dolls. I still want to know how they clean all the darn things after they get cream pied.

Hopefully with a lot of bleach.

Given the kind of regulations Germany has for pretty much everything, including prostitution, I'm pretty sure they do it right.

While I suppose this is safer than actual prostitution, I find it frankly bizarre that there would be that large a market for people who'd rather have a doll than a real person.

I suspect it's less a question of preferring a doll, in most cases, and more that having sex with real women is beyond their meagre social skills and they have to take what they can get. A flesh-and-blood prostitute is probably more expensive as well.

That's a bit harsh I think. Lots of people just don't want the social issues that can come with sex be that a relationship or the stigma that comes with casual sex. Do they look at their options and find that a doll fills their sexual needs at a lower cost than the other options.

There is also curiosity to factor in. Most people, evwn the lonely ones, know what another person feels like but a doll is new. It's not the same as the sex sleeve they may or may not have at home so they go and try something new. Hell, they may even have a partner who allows this but not the other options.

Lastly, this caters to people with STIs who may find sex with other people hard to manage. After all, most people wouldn't want a partner with HEP, HIV/AIDS, or other incurable issues. With a sex doll the brothel uses nontransmitting materials and cleaning so our STI having person can have guilt free sex with no prep.

There are also dating web sites for people who already have specific STIs and would like to fuck their peers.

Yeah though those likely aren't as mainstream as normal dating sites and lots of people loathe online dating. Plus, I wonder how many people with an STI even know about them.

[Raw Shark]

Well, a few more know about it now, hopefully. Infected people deserve happiness too.

I'm sure they do it right, but I want to know how it's done. These are the questions that keep me awake at night. How do they clean the dolls after some dirty sweaty guy gets his smelly sweat and bodily fluids all over the thing? Someone needs to do some research into this subject.

Probably the same way I am going to get this mental image out of my head. A lot of bleach...

Meaning that at least one person in real life has used "I'm not just sure... I'm HIV positive" as a pick-up line.

The dating site for people with STIs is actually a really good idea, as it provides a way for said people to find partners who they don't have to worry about infecting, or having that awkward "Oh, by the way, I've got (insert disease here)" conversation with.

Well they -do- need to specify what exactly they have at some point. Just because you've got one STI doesn't mean you want a different one! Though I'm sure there's a matching option out there...

[Raw Shark]

I haven't tried it out for a reason that you can probably guess, but I'm pretty sure that STI-positive dating sites tend to specialize. IE: You're not going to sign up with Herpes and run into people with HIV, and vice-versa.

My facts could be wrong on this, but couldn't you get some level of service from a real woman in a legal brothel in Europe for about that amount? Not like an hour's worth, or anything goes, but enough attention to your man bits to get the job done.

Whatever, who am I to judge...

You might get half an hour for that kind of money, considering the ads I've seen on my way to work (I pass like 4 brothels on my commute).
Still - I don't get why this is a thing, apart from maybe the novelty factor.

Most likely because they can't feel pain or complain. You certainly won't get to play rough with a pro for that kind of money.
