AI exists, have to embrace it’: ‘World’s first’ immersive sex brothel

SexTech is expected to be a $3.3 billion industry by 2033, with a growing rise in preference and acceptance of robotic sex, predict futurologists, reported Interesting Engineering.

“We are the future of sex,” says Philipp Fussenegger–owner of Cybrothel. Cybrothel is the first immersive sex doll brothel in Germany’s capital city Berlin.
The rise of the VR porn

The establishment offers a variety of services,including a virtual reality experience room. The “VR – Experience” allows a client to watch and experience sexual intercourse with a regular sex doll who comes to life through VR glasses for 129 euros per hour.

Matthias Smetana, the co-founder of Cybrothel stated: "Surprisingly, VR porn is very popular among women and couples. I think women like to experience how it would feel to have a penis. A woman can put on a strap-on 'penis' and have 'sex' with the doll in front of them.”

"When they put on the VR headset they will see the doll moving and talking to them. It's a bit like a sexy Siri,” added Smetana.

The rise of virtual reality technology has also led to a rise in virtual reality porn, where one turns from a passive watcher of porn to an active participant. It’s estimated that approximately 60 percent of the top VR websites are porn sites, reported Business Insider.

'Analogue AI' for sex with dolls

At Cybrothel also offers another option to experience intimacy without the VR glasses, starting at 149 euros for 30 minutes. In this package, the client can engage in sexual acts and also converse with the ‘doll’ by paying extra.

The voice of the doll, as we understand it, actually belongs to a human sitting in another control room watching and hearing the activities transpiring inside.

The dolls are neither robots nor powered by artificial intelligence. The company’s website noted that they’re working on integrating robotics in Cybrothel in the future.

"The audio and visual features create the effect we call ‘analogue AI’ to give the dolls a more elevated and playful character for real-time interaction," explained Fussenegger.

Given that their clients' activities are monitored and managed, concerns about privacy are indeed warranted.

The company clarified that nothing that happens between a sex doll and a client is recorded. All clients are made to sign a data protection agreement and there are no webcams present in the establishment.

Fussenegger said that the clientele at his establishment are ‘normal’ people who may not want to have sex with a human sex worker due to the stigma around sex work. There are currently only 63 countries in the world where prostitution is partially legal. The US isn’t one of them, whereas Germany has strict regulations around sex work.

“They want to be alone with a doll and not be judged for it,” added Fussenegger.

The stigma around prostitution primarily stems from religion and morality, and also public health concerns such as sexually transmitted diseases.

Cybrothel claims on their website that the dolls at their establishment are cleaned after every visit with water and pH-neutral soap. They are then disinfected with hydrogen peroxide and the room is sanitized. Moreover, there is no requirement to use a condom.

As alternatives to human sex crop up, there’s also a growing concern among researchers and psychologists that the use of sex dolls might lead to loneliness. There are studies backing this claim.

Meanwhile, Fussenegger believes his business is "an adult playground and a new way of experiencing pleasure."

“AI exists so we have to embrace it," Fussenegger told The Sun.

"Having sex this way isn’t something to be scared of. It can’t compete with conventional sex with humans, it’s just different.”
