A Swiss brothel has decided to swap female staff for the sex dolls pictured here after demand soared among cash-strapped clients in search of a cheap thrill.

A brothel in Kriens, a city in the district of Lucerne in the canton of Lucerne in Switzerland has replaced most of its prostitutes with sex dolls due to popular demand and cheaper prices.

The Arsenal 51 brothel has over twelve sex dolls to choose from and only has a couple of prostitutes left working there.

The brothel offers the dolls services at just 90 CHF (70 GBP) a session whereas the services of a real-life prostitute start at 200 CHF (157 GBP) per session so more than double the price.

The brothel also offers to bring the chosen sex doll to the punter’s home if required.

The brothel claims that: “The sex doll is the sex doll you have always dreamed of. She is always up for it, never has a headache, no periods or bad moods. She is always sexy, willing and ready for you and she will do anything you want with her. She can fulfil all your fantasies.”

The brothel claims all dolls are washed and disinfected after use and there are cleaning products in each room in the brothel should punters wish to give them another clean.

According to Brigitte Snefstrup from the organisation Verein Lisa, that looks after the interests of prostitutes in the region: “It is a new phenomenon that a brothel has almost only sex dolls on offer and not many prostitutes.

“The fact they have more sex dolls than people is something I see as a one-off. I do not have any knowledge that this is something widespread.”

“Sex dolls are something offered by most brothel operators though and most offer this service to keep up with the competition.

“Sex dolls were never something that have come up as a topic of conversation between the sex workers and myself.

“I cannot imagine sex dolls taking over completely from prostitutes. I can’t really comment on customers’ wishes but I know many punters want more than just sex. A sex doll can not replace human contact.”

But it seems like sex dolls are popular amongst men. In a study of 9,000 men, one third admitted they would like to try sex with a doll.

Felix Neuenschwander from the organisation “Praeventionsangebot fuer Freier Don”, a group for men’s sexual health said: “It is simply a fetish of some men, just like some men enjoy leather. Sex dolls are used to fulfil certain sexual fantasies. And some men think they can’t get sexually transmitted diseases from a doll.

“However, that is not true. If a man puts his penis in a hole in the doll and ejaculates, then there is a chance the next customer can catch a disease if it is not cleaned properly. It is recommendable to still wear a condom.”
