Sex Doll Brothel

[KarmaKiss 10574]

Curious to know what everyone’s thoughts are on this. They were going to open in Toronto and were shutdown before they were even able to open. I think there would only be cons to the SW industry if these were to start opening everywhere. Just curious to everyone else’s opinions.

       While the whole idea seems a bit ridiculous, this failed launch is a bit clever. I'm maybe giving the people behind this a bit more credit than they deserve. But as a publicity stunt, it certainly worked. They certainly expected some pushback by opening this in an inappropriate area. With the extra traffic on their website, they'll get a better idea on the demand and where to locate themselves. This is not my cup of tea. But if this story was intentional, we got to appreciate the creativity behind it.

Best comment I saw on this: they should put FitBits on the dolls and see how many 'steps' they manage in a day :)

I'm more concerned about the poor employees who got to wash and disinfect those between clients. Not really the kind of reference one would want to write on his resume.

I used to live in that general area. There are lots of SWs in both spas or private apartments/houses in the general vicinity, so it's weird how the authorities thought that this business should be fought against in such a public way. I mean, even if you in general are against sex work, this is hardly that, is it? It's just guys jerking into a piece of rubber. 

At first I thought it was odd that guys would want to spend money on this when a massage with a real live woman wouldn't cost much more. But there are lots of guys who are intimidated by live females, can't cope with the face to face, so who can say that they shouldn't have sexual outlets. The sex doll industry has existed for a long time now, I remember seeing the web sites in the late 1990s, they must be making money, so someone wants these. Is it any "weirder" than any other fetish?

I have personally known guys who spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on lap dances and beer at strip joints. I never understood why you'd want to blow your paycheque on teasing yourself, wouldn't it make more sense to spend it so that you actually had sex? That strikes me as every bit as weird as spending money on sex dolls.

I've thought for years that a good sci-fi book plot would involve a time in the future when all SW would be done by androids (think Blade Runner androids). It would be an interesting exploration of the topic to wonder how a society would react to underage-looking androids for example. We react to and outlaw child porn now to protect the abused children who are forced to participate in the making of child porn, but what if real children would no longer be involved? What would people think about that? My guess is that we'd continue to be repulsed but you can see the legal argument coming that since no real human was harmed....  I can't imagine a story with such a plot even being published but maybe I'm wrong. I don't read much sci-fi, maybe it has already been done.

Our culture (and others) seems to create so many hang-ups in people. Maybe that's why incels exist. I wonder if reality is more like those antelope herds in National Geographic specials. One dominant alpha buck gets to use an entire herd of females, but the ones who lost the head-butting fights go go sulk in the woods by themselves and never have sex with anyone. I always feel sorry for them.

    Most people will close their eyes on what happens behind closed doors of legitimate businesses and private homes as long it doesn't attract unwanted attention and problems. But if local bylaws clearly forbid storefronts for sex services, there not much they can do. Again, if this was intentional for publicity or not, will remain to be seen. But personally, if this was my kind of kink I would certainly prefer a place without the neon signs.

I know right? You are not supposed to share toys (even cleaning them...) One toy belongs to that person and should not be used by anyone else. If they miss something it can be passed to the next person. At least people have natural barriers and fighters that help to protect (not always but...). These toys won't have that and will depend on the same kind of people who clean up in Tim Hortons, McDonalds etc. And are those places completely spotless? 🤔

   I haven't done a lot of research on the matter. But from what I understand those lifelike dolls are quite expensive. Considering the way those are used, we can imagine some part are removable/interchangeable for cleaning and sanitary purposes. If you combine that with dressing it up and fixing up the hair between clients, it's still plenty of work for whoever is stuck with that job.
