Sex doll brothels: Should they be legalized?

TPE sex dolls are not something you keep in secret at home anymore. In recent years, sex doll brothels have become widespread in different places, especially in the USA.

A sex doll brothel was functioning in Toronto in 2018, which was known as "Aura Dolls." There, people would pay $120 per hour to do what they please to one of the sex dolls available. It was also possible to get an additional half-hour for an additional $90. Once the client is done with the sex doll, the staff will clean it and get it ready for the next one.

However, this sex doll brothel wasn’t the only one functioning in the world. There were similar places operating in big cities, like Barcelona or Moscow. Although most of these establishments use TPE sex dolls, people often confuse them as “sex robot brothels.”

Why do sex doll brothels exist?

If you look around the web, you’ll find several sex dolls at multiple prices. Unfortunately, most of them are extremely expensive, especially the most realistic models. Prices can go up to $6,000, although they can be even more or less expensive based on the manufacturer and all the things they have to offer.

Thus, a sex brothel eliminates this wage gap and allows diverse users to have fun with a realistic TPE sex doll for a while without repercussions. Or at least, that’s what happens in certain countries.

Sex doll brothels exist in a gray area.

Each country has a different law, but most of them have prostitution regulations or straight up forbid those activities. Considering the nature of sex doll brothels, these establishments end up being in a grey area.

Although there isn’t anything wrong with possessing a sex doll at home and having casual fun with it, most people believe that it shouldn’t be legalized.

On the other hand, sex dolls appeal to a very specific public. Still, some believe they cause harm to the community of sex workers for multiple reasons, such as entitling men to do as they please with women as they're literally having sex with an unanimated object – even if it's a practice that has been ongoing for years.

In the end, these places are far away from becoming common. Sex dolls can be quite expensive and hard to maintain in the long term. Plus, the risk of infection is always there. Who can assure you that the doll has been cleaned thoroughly, after all?
