Sex Doll Brothel in Germany: Pioneering Novel Forms of Intimacy in an Unconventional Setting
SEX DOLL BROTHEL 2.0: CYBROTHEL'S TECH-DRIVEN REINVENTION OF SEXUALITY
The explosion of sex doll brothels in Europe a few years ago didn't last long. However, one establishment in Berlin, Cybrothel, has managed to defy the odds and set itself apart as the vanguard of artificial intimacy.
Cybrothel, originally founded as an art project in 2020 by a trio of minds – filmmaker Philipp Fussenegger, writer Alexis Smiley Smith, and artist Sujmo Akcali – has since morphed into a trailblazing business offering a unique fusion of technology and titillation. "I hope you can still see it," says Fussenegger, reflecting on the sex doll brothel's artistic beginnings. "I put a lot of creativity into discovering new ways and new services."
Situated in a private residence in Friedrichshain, Cybrothel provides its clients with an immersive, multisensory experience that combines mind-bending reality with tantalizing fantasy. Clients may engage with interactive hyper-realistic dolls, passionate encounters brought to life by human voice actors operating from an external control room.
Every sex doll has a distinct persona, from the blonde bombshell Paris to the blue-skinned scientist Liara. "I try to release every one or two months a new doll with a new character, new shapes, and forms," says Fussenegger. Those seeking a more mellow experience can opt for the 'Basic Option' without any enhancements or an overnight stay.
Beyond dolls, Cybrothel offers its clients a mix of reality gaming and virtual pleasure. The brothel features the Cherry VX, a mixed-reality gaming experience created by Polybay, and BaDoinkVR videos, which seamlessly blend visual elements with touch for an unparalleled level of realism. Most of their technology is developed in-house by sex tech entrepreneur Matthias Smetana, who is currently focused on Sex AI and its potential to revolutionize human intimacy.
Cybrothel's journey hasn't been a walk in the park. The business has faced financial turbulence and regulatory challenges. However, a dedicated customer base, composed primarily of committed individuals seeking an alternate form of sexual gratification, has kept the cyber brothel afloat.
The discrete setting of Cybrothel allows clients to explore their desires without judgement, and some even bring their partners for a "threesome light," allowing them to explore together in a guilt-free environment. "It's a shame-free environment where people can try out stuff," Fussenegger says. "It's self-care that we offer there. You can be with your own sexuality there and focus on your needs."
As the landscape of Europe's sex doll brothels shrinks, Cybrothel's focus on tech-driven intimacy may represent the way forward for the once-novel concept of companionship with AI-enhanced silicone partners. Plans for the future include a shift from dolls to robots, which Fussenegger believes can offer more for clients. "I want to completely move from sex dolls to sex robots," he says, noting that robots, unlike dolls, can "touch you, move around, have sucking vaginas, heat up – all those things."
As the future unfolds, Cybrothel stands at the vanguard, leading the charge into an uncharted universe where human intimacy meets advanced technology. For more information, visit Cybrothel's website and Instagram.
