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.

High-end dolls are made out of silicone. They can be sterilized by heat/steam just like hospitals do. A wash, steam, wash cycle is perfectly good. Your keyboard is dirtier. All hotel rooms are dirtier.

With all due respect, you're full of shit :)
My keyboard is not dirtier than a robot prostitute's pussy. That would imply that dozens of men have finished themselves off onto my keyboard. While I don't know where my keyboard is all the time, I have faith that its monogamous.
