Trouble for brothel equipped with sex dolls

Houston City Council on Wednesday prevented what was billed as the first brothel in the US equipped with sex dolls from opening in the Texas city, altering a local ordinance to block the business and any others like it.

The Houston Chronicle reported that Toronto-based KinkySdollS had planned to open a Houston location, where customers could both buy “adult love dolls” and rent them for use in private rooms.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told reporters after that the vote amounted to a modification of an existing city ordinance and was not targeted at any specific business.
