KinkySdollS announced last month on its Facebook page that it plans on opening a "love dolls brothel" in Houston. The city may have to amend current ordinances or create a new one "to limit or regulate these types of businesses," Turner said. Issues Houston officials are reviewing about the proposed robot brothel include whether it has to be located a certain distance away from schools, day care centers and churches — like other sexually-oriented businesses — and health concerns related to any reuse and cleaning of the dolls. But I am charged with the health and safety of the people within our city," Turner said. Annie McAdams, a Houston-based attorney who has represented sex-trafficking victims, said she's concerned a robot brothel will further dehumanize sexual activity and objectify women.
