Finland's first sex doll brothel has closed | Forum

The sex service, which describes itself as a state-of-the-art sex doll center, opened in the Helsinki suburb of Kannelmaki in November.Unfortunately for the owners, the venture did not attract enough customers to cover its costs and will close.The owner, Antti Karhinen, told IS that throwing money back was pointless, but he still learned a lot.A British documentary maker visited, he recalled, but couldn't persuade customers because "most of them ran away," suggesting that the sex dolls might not lose the stigma associated with them.Some of the used dolls are in such bad shape that they will be thrown away, but Karhinen said the ones that are still working will be sold through an online auction site.
