Kinda late for this, given that it is such an old thread, but I added a poll. There are lots of options, and you can select as many options as you want.

Despite having lots of options, I don't pretend that it is even remotely close to being comprehensive. I just wanted to hit a few of the themes that have been discussed in this, and other, threads.

All things considered, I think that robot prostitution and/or an increasing market for privately-owned domestic robots with sexual functions will probably improve public health from a body-fluids point of view. Yeah, some people could potentially catch something from an improperly cleaned robot, but I think the overall risk is far lower than the risks from human prostitution (especially so long as prostitution remains illegal and is largely a form of exploitation). Overall, I would bet that sex robot prostitutes are a about a million times safer to touch than the average door knob.

The sex doll brothels did not open us as planned in Canada or NY.

Aura Dolls' sex doll brothel did not open up its doors

Sex doll brothel won’t open in planned North York location, after all
