Austrian local media reported the unusual story of "Fanny", a sex doll which has become the top-selling superstar of the "Kontakthof" brothel in capital Vienna.

It left Austrian newspapers wondering what men see in Fanny, which costs 80 EUR (£71.60) for an hour to rent.

At the weekend, we revealed the first pictures inside a new sex robot factory making human-like dolls.

Online, Fanny introduces herself saying: "Hi! I am Fanny, a Japanese silicon doll."

According to the website, Fanny does not leave a single sexual wish unfulfilled as she is very flexible and can be put in any position desired by the customer.

She is described as "very young and sexy, with a slim figure and prurient breasts".

On the website, Fanny explains that "after each use I am thoroughly cleaned and disinfected".

Yet brothel operator "Frau Monika" did not want to tell how exactly the doll is cleaned.

She said: "I think, that nobody wants to know about this question."

Psychologist Gerti Senger explained why some men are more interested in sleeping with Fanny instead of real women.

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."

Yet Senger, a co-chair at the Austrian Society for Sexual Research (OeGS), said that she was shocked by Fanny being more popular than real prostitutes and called it "a real autistic tendency".
