THE mayor of Houston, Texas has pushed back against the opening of a "robot brothel" in the city, where men could pay $60 for sex with a life-like silicon doll.
Mayor Sylvester Turner said the brothel is "not the sort of business" people wanted in the city, after the plans sparked outrage among residents and community groups.
The "love dolls brothel" is the brainchild of Yuval Gavriel, who runs a similar "warehouse' in Toronto where patrons "try before they buy" at around $2,000 to $5,000 each.
