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.

This has zero chance of success.
British sensibilities will simply not stand for this. This strikes at the very core of our moral values.
Business ideas like this that fail to address cultural norms and standards are doomed to failure.
I mean the very idea is deeply offensive. I mean seriously? Espresso?

Exactly, and a good pot of tea will last a good 30 minutes

According to RT, the first such café is to open in Geneva. The Swiss are more open-minded about such things.

The robots, though, follow in a grand tradition:
Rather than risk the consequences of ‘the solitary vice’, those in possession of 100 guineas could purchase a ‘femme de voyage’ or inflatable sex aid, for the ‘special use of gentlemen on their travels’.
These ingenious contraptions could be packed up and stored under a gentleman’s hat, and were also ‘a highly successful alternative to those who fear contamination or pollution from illicit acts with questionable lovers’.
