An entrepreneur who hopes to open London's first 'fellatio cafe' has revealed his staff will be made up entirely of sex robots. Businessman Bradley Charvet, who plans to open the 'blow job cafe' in Paddington, claims the sex-bots will be programmable to a person's needs and will soon be seen as "totally normal."
A 15-minute oral sex session with an espresso will set punters back just £60 (US$78). Hungry patrons will have to pay extra for a pastry.
The coffee shop is due to open after Charvet launches his first cafe in Geneva, Switzerland, later this year.
Charvet made headlines earlier this year when he announced he would launch a 'fellatio cafe' modeled on similar businesses in Thailand, such as Dr. BJ's Salon in Bangkok. However, the announcement was met with skepticism by many, who cited Britain's stringent anti-prostitution laws as a reason why the business would be unlikely to take off.
Now Charvet claims the oral sex will be performed by 'erotic cyborgs.' "Sex robots will always be pleasing and could even become better at technique because they would be programmable to a person's need," he told the Daily Star Online.

Initially, I was dubious about the authenticity of this claim, but after further searching it seems like the story is being covered elsewhere too:
Not all the reporting is as positive about the outcome of this venture. I also wonder how many people would be prepared to brazenly walk in to such a cafe, other than for the obvious humour value. I cannot see it being viewed as 'acceptable behaviour' in the UK, and after any complaint the police would be, I imagine, only too keen to have the business licence removed from the premises. Paddington is known as one of the centres for the sex trade in London, or so I have been told, you understand....

I knew this article to be legitimate, actually considered submitting it.
And now a rant -- this is fucking disgusting. Yes, I am a degenerate sexual pervert, but since I was raised with manners and values I am strongly against comingling getting one's rocks off with the workday.
Do you really want to go to work with a bunch of toe-curling, dick-kneading, grunting, moaning gotoffs every day, people you know are watching porn on their phones in the restroom only to emerge with semen crusted all over their trousers? People you would rather fist-bump than shake hands with?
For fuck's sake...if I can wait 10 hours Monday thru Friday for a drink, then you all should wait 10 hours Monday thru Friday to rub one off.
People working in shitty service industries will pick your dropped burger off the floor and put it back in the bun to be served to you. Do you really want to trust those same folks with your blowjob-machine?!

LOL - I don't mind the burger being picked up off the floor - but using the same hands to adjust my blowjob machine? Completely unacceptable!

Okay... what would Jesus do? Go for the espresso (Dog, I love espresso) by itself?
Go for an espresso and a robot cleavage view?
The whole "domo arigato, Mrs. Roboto?"
Is Ethanol really Jesus?
I say we wait about 29 days until Ethanol rises again on Hallowe'en. :)

Isn't it better that they get it over with in the cafe, prior to arriving at the office? You know, so they're not occupying the stall when you need it?
You know, considering current anti-vaccination sentiment and the global situation with drug-resistant pathogens -- maybe having the fistbump replace the handshake wouldn't be so bad.
