I have to admit, I didn’t see this one coming<\/a> (if you’ll pardon the expression):<\/p>\n

A new brothel has opened in Barcelona that offers men the chance to fulfil all their fantasies \u2013 as long as their fantasies involve hyper-realistic silicone dolls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lumidolls, which operates from an apartment building in downtown Barcelona, claims to be the first sex doll agency in Europe and offers hour-long \u2018appointments\u2019 with one of its four dolls for just \u20ac80.<\/p>\n

The dolls, which are individually crafted from thermoplastic elastomer to be unique, have three orifices and flexible limbs enabling them to be maneuvered in almost any position.<\/p>\n

Such sex dolls have already proved a huge hit in Japan and China – especially with husbands working away from home who want to avoid being unfaithful – but Lumidoll claims to be the first such brothel to open in Europe.<\/p>\n

Yes, we are quite able to discern between, say, a microwave and a human chef and a sex robot and a woman. Despite what this hysterical numbskull writes at Prospect Magazine<\/em> about the “huge problem!!!” in robotics and AI<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
