Sex dolls and virtual reality combine at Berlin’s Cybrothel
When Austrian filmmaker Phillip Fussenager contacted Berlin writer Alexis Smiley Smith to bridge the gap between ultra-realistic 180-degree stereoscopic virtual reality and high-tech silicone sex dolls, the two began a sex-positive business partnership that ended up in Berlin. first virtual reality cyber brothel. Housed in a low-key private residence in Berlin’s family-friendly Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood, the aptly named Cybrothel offers clients the opportunity to experience a sexual fantasy as close as possible Westworld that you can get.
Here, in the city Alexis calls “the hedonistic capital of the world”, Berlin’s kinky, sex-positive clientele flock to the doll brothel to take a picture with one of the five silicone sex partners available for “sex and game” in Cybrothel, like Kokeshi.
Described as “a galactic traveler with a heart of gold” – even though her heart is made of medical-grade silicone – Kokeshi hails from China, where she was molded in the likeness of a real human woman. One hour with Kokeshi at Cybrothel almost looks like sex with a proven human sex worker, except for the complete lack of a circulatory system. Enter the private room (with bathroom, kitchen and home cinema), put on a pair of VR glasses and watch Kokeshi come to life before your eyes.
“Kokeshi was born out of our desire to truly create a galactic being,” Alexis told InsideHook. “I mean, if we’re going to be literal, her silicone body is from China. But we’ve impregnated [her] — just like we have every brothel doll — with that galactic heart of gold. She was born from a bath of milk, she came from the cosmos; you can see all his birth story on instagram.”
But while Kokeshi’s Milk Bath origins may seem otherworldly, this blue-haired beauty still conducts her business with a certain human sensibility. “She is very empathetic. She is sensitive,” says Alexis. “It promotes interactions without shame, based on gentleness, closeness and listening. She can get super dirty and super crazy, but you need to ask for consent and you really need to be aware of the sexual interaction process.
In addition to Kokeshi, Cybrothel customers can also choose from four other silicone sex workers. There’s Haito, a Japanese manga nerd. Stepmom by day, dominatrix by night, Mistress Oxana is a sophisticated, older doll with a dark side. There’s a blonde bombshell named Paris who fits the “girl next door” motif so popular in sex and porn, and there’s even a guy. Alexis describes Guy Ryder as a “blue-eyed, sensual, bisexual man who likes to listen”. Oh, and he’s also a demigod.
Each doll is equipped with technology that connects her body to an off-site “voice queen” that provides all the “oohs” and “aahs” that cannot otherwise be exchanged between a human and a piece of silicone.
Most of Cybrothel’s customers are men between the ages of 25 and 40 who are either looking to explore an aspiring perv, or tech-obsessed looky-loos who want to see up close how silicone genitals feel up close, or adventurous Berliners who dare to call themselves perverts. And yes, each doll is carefully cleaned after each session.
The brothel offers three formulas:
The basic option: Just you and a medical grade silicone sex doll for sex and play. No VR, no voice, just you and Haito or Mistress Oxana.
The blindfolded option: Audio features are enabled; the dolls can “hear” you and “talk” to you in real time. “This service is made possible by in-room audio components connected to a control room where a real human operator can hear and speak to you,” says Alexis. “The operator lends her ears, voice, and awareness to one of our doll characters to deliver an immersive, real-time experience personalized to your liking and desires.”
The complete option: Audio and video functionality are combined, with a voice queen lending her eyes, ears, voice and consciousness to a doll. Alexis says it’s the best option for those looking for the ultimate “real” doll experience.
Cybrothel also recently partnered with a VR porn production company BaDoinkVR to produce a steamy 180-degree stereoscopic virtual reality sex scene featuring Kokeshi alongside Finnish porn actress Angie Lynx, who plays the silicone sex worker’s human counterpart. Merging Kokeshi’s world with the “real” world involves a coordinated mix of hands-on effects with physical projectors and post-production graphic layering techniques to tie two different shots together in the ultimate VR fantasy. With the help of this first-of-its-kind crossover, Cybrothel has managed to turn the sex doll rental business into an art. Offering a chaotic mix of simulation, reality, silicone, and skin, Alexis, Philipp, and their team may have cracked the code for anonymous, contactless, shameless, and unconditional sex.
While some skeptics may still wonder what a sex doll can offer compared to sex with a live human partner, Alexis points to the virtually limitless possibilities for fulfilling fantasies that Cybrothel’s sophisticated mix of sex dolls and virtual reality can offer.
“Each doll has its own personality, its own story and lives in a unique world,” explains Alexis. “Depending on what a person or a couple might be interested in exploring, they can arrange something special at Cybrothel. Do you want to travel to a sweet and sexy galactic pleasure palace and try a threesome with Kokeshi? Or would you rather dip your toe into total submission and be dominated by Mistress Oxana? Or somewhere in between? It’s really a conversation between our customers and us about what they want.
So what will it be? Human or doll?
