Since it was revealed in the summer that sex doll "Fanny" was attracting more customers than real-life prostitutes at a brothel – interest has gone through the roof.

Many other brothels in Vienna have bought silicone sex dolls from Japan.

While in the German city of Dortmund the first ever brothel that caters exclusively to those attracted to sex dolls opened.

Now an exclusive silicone sex doll showroom opened in the city of Vienna.

According to Austrian media, the shop Companion in the Vienna borough of Hietzing is the first to cater exclusively to "human-like" sex dolls.

And the pictures to emerge from inside the shop are eye-popping.

Robots lie in seductive poses on a sofa and sit in an armchair in a tiny bikini.

While other pics show them posing in the form of a topless photoshoot.

The so-called "Real Dolls" are not only being marketed by the shop as the ultimate sexual pleasure, but even as a replacement for flesh and blood partners.

Besides admiring the sex dolls, men who flock to the Vienna showroom can also touch the life-like silicone figures.

They can feel all over their bodies and "test their quality”, according to the shop.

Companion offers silicone sex dolls with 40 different faces, nine different body sizes, a choice between eight different eyes and four skin colours.

Also hairs, fingers, nails and lips can be fully adjusted to the wishes of each individual client.

Even male silicone sex dolls are available at the shop.

It says its sex dolls are made from so-called "platinum silicone" based on a rubber and a metal skeleton, all exactly modelled on the human body.

Each sex doll weighs between three and eight stone, with the cheaper models starting at 1,990 euros (£1,781) and the top models costing as much as 7,490 euros (£6,705).

The shop says that the sex dolls are delivered with "suitable clothing" making them presentable too in public.

This comes as sex industry experts estimate that people with a fetish for sex dolls are a growing group, and that they expect more dolls to be made available by brothels.

Austrian psychologist Gerti Senger explained why some men are more interested in sleeping with sex dolls instead of a real woman.

Senger said: "First, the man can do anything with the doll. Second, every intention is turned off, which can be a factor with a prostitute."

But Senger, who is a co-chair at the Austrian Society for Sexual Research (OeGS), said that she was shocked by some dolls being more popular than real prostitutes.
