Country's first 'robot sex brothel' set to open in Texas prompts backlash: report

The first so-called 'robot sex brothel' in the U.S. slated to open in the Houston area this month has prompted a massive backlash from residents and activists who say it will ruin the neighborhood. The company opened its first location last year near Toronto, where $60 buys a half-hour alone with a robot sex doll, according to the Washington Examiner. The dolls start at $2,500 to buy.

Update: Houston officials halt plans to open first US 'robot brothel'

Houston city officials have ordered at least a temporary halt to a Canadian company's plan to open a so-called "robot brothel" in the city. The Houston Chronicle reported that building inspectors ordered the halt after determining that the company, Kinky S Dolls, lacked the permits required for demolition and construction at a former 2,500 sq ft hair salon in the Galleria area of the city.

    Houston is basically a liberal oasis within Texas.

    I thought that was Austin.

    Remember, one man's "liberal oasis" is another man's "open air loony bin".
