New Sex Doll Brothel in Barcelona Features 4 Synthetic Escorts

Spain joins ranks with Japan by offering artificial lovers for rent.

If you've always wanted to try out a realistic love doll, it may be time to head to Barcelona. Spanish sex doll agency LumiDolls [NSFW] has recently opened a brothel in the city, offering a choice of four different erotic models.

Meet the dolls

Kay, for example, is advertised as being 170 centimeters tall, with large breasts that are “muy realista al tacto” (“Very realistic to the touch”). There’s also is Leiza (“an ebony goddess”), the Asiatic Lily, and the clearly anime-inspired Aki.

An encounter with your doll of choice runs about 80 Euros per hour. Clearly shooting for a real brothel experience, LumiDolls promises that the dolls aren’t just carefully cleaned before and after each “encounter” but that customers will be treated with discretion and respect by the establishment’s receptionist.

In addition to a doll, each room comes with a large-screen plasma TV for watching erotic films and dim candlelight to help customers get in the mood.

Sex dolls and fertility in the news

The opening of LumiDolls echoes a recent news item about a planned sex robot cafe in Switzerland—one focused on coffee and simulated oral sex. While it appears that the announcement of a sexbot cafe seems more likely to be a PR stunt than a viable option, it further demonstrates the interest that LumiDolls is riding.

Even more interesting is that the brothel opens at a time when Spain is undergoing a fertility crisis. Business Insider has reported that the country is so concerned about its 1.49 children per woman rate it has hired Edelmira Barreira Diz to try and boost Spain’s collective sex drive.

While that 1.49 might still sound fairly respectable for a birthrate, it is far below the needed 2.2 children per woman necessary for a population to be stable. In short, Spain is dying faster than it is reproducing.

What LumiDolls’ sex doll brothel does for this is a matter for conjecture. Perhaps having plastic lovers available will help kickstart Spain’s collective eros? Or maybe it will bring down the birth rate further as men find themselves satisfied non-biologically. However, it could be further argued that men who prefer sex dolls wouldn’t be contributing to boosting the population’s numbers anyway.

More brothels to come

In any case, when you add up the erotic novelty of sex dolls, low setup and overhead costs, and never having to worry about Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), it’s possible we’ll be seeing more establishments like LumiDolls’s sex doll brothel opening in the future.

M. Christian

M.Christian loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer he has six novels,12 collections,100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to his name. His non-fiction regularly appears n many sites, but he’s most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of his erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing he can't write about … and brilliantly.”

Reflecting his unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, his stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. His collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of his stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, his fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sextech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—his ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with his friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, he’s lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
