Looks like the first U.S. robot brothel isn't happening ... yet

The U.S. won't get its very first "robot brothel" after all. The Houston City Council amended an ordinance to prevent a company called KinkySdollS from opening a showroom where people could have, um, intimate relations with realistic sex dolls. The dolls sell for anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000, with optional "body heat" and AI voice options. The amendment -- which doesn't make it illegal to sell the dolls, only to "test" them (oh god why) at the showroom -- was passed unanimously Wednesday by city council members, including Greg Travis, who, reports the AP, called the brothel "weird" and "gross." Regular Houston citizens also spoke out against the business.
