Houston has pulled the plug on a sex robot brothel. On Wednesday Houston City Council voted to ban the doll bordelo that was set to open in the Galleria area.

The council's vote to change the city ordinance effectively barred the try-before-you-buy robot brothel from operating near public spaces.

Already, the move has received plenty of chatter on Facebook and Twitter, with many commentators taking sides on the council's ban.

Some Twitter users expressed support for it, but most thought the ban represented an overreach by Houston officials. Other indifferent observers took the opportunity to joke about the amusing subject.

The first location opened in Toronto

In 2017, KinkySdollS opened its first "rent-before-you-buy" sex robot business in Toronto, Canada.

Advertising itself as the first of its kind in North America, the opening received relatively little media fanfare and was upstaged by the planned opening of another sex robot brothel— from a separate company— also in Toronto. The second robot sex brothel, Aura Dolls, was closed a week before it opened in August thanks to a city law that prohibited “adult entertainment parlors." Despite the closing of its rival sex robot brothel, the KinkySdollS Toronto location remains open. less The first location opened in Toronto
