Article source: Italy’s first sex doll brothel ‘booked out for weeks’
Italy’s first sex doll “brothel,” featuring lifelike female and male companions, opened in Turin on Monday to great demand, according to reports.
“We’re booked out for weeks, save for a few small exceptions,” Lumidolls Torino told Wired, whose reporters got a sneak preview of the rooms that feature mood lighting, mirrors and TVs to watch porn, The Local reported.
Rates start at 80 euros – about $93 for a half-hour session – with one of the individually named models, seven female, and one male, which the company says offer a “totally new” amorous experience.
The “Alexander” model reportedly has a 7-inch-long silicone penis, according to the UK’s Daily Star.
Clients can book sessions up to two hours long with their model of choice, also specifying what they want it to wear and what position they want it to be in.
After being used, each doll is put through a two-hour scrubbing, according to the Spain-based company, which opened its first such establishment in Barcelona last year and another in Moscow.
The dolls also are available for sale at a cost of about $2,300 a pop.
Sergi Prieto, Lumidolls co-founder and owner, said he opened the joint in Italy to capitalize on a “big market that’s going to explode.”
“As you know in Italy, prostitution is 100 percent legal,” he told the Daily Star, though brothels staffed by prostitutes are illegal in the country.
“Customers will have the option at Lumidolls Torino to have new sexual experiences in a safe and secure place.”
