Helsinki - Need someone to change a lightbulb or babysit? Rent-a-husband Petteri Ikonen says he is your man for all chores about the house.

"I don't sell sex services at all," stressed Ikonen, a warehouse worker who set up his solo husband rental business a year ago, noting that his clients were mainly "lonely women" but included men and families.

"I've given driving lessons, I've sung a birthday serenade, all sorts of things," said the 42-year-old, who charges R150 for the first hour and R75 per hour thereafter.

But he said his more usual tasks were changing lightbulbs or hanging pictures.

The services offered by the formerly-married Ikonen are not unique, but he said Finnish men had more to offer than most.

"The guy who starts to do this has to be responsible and have a good sense of humour, have good manners, be good with his hands. He has to be all that a typical good Finnish husband is. Sensitive and tender, talks all issues through," he said.
