It is another strategy of the patriarchy that presents us as objects without rights or soul.
So selling your body for sex is suppose to be empowering? Jesus Christ, what the fuck am I reading.

OK, stop right there. No prostitute should have 30 years of experience. That's just wrong.
In prostitution, more years of service is not a good thing.

Prostitutes who work in the city with Aprosex - the Association of Sex Professionals - objected saying a doll cannot match the services of a real person and denigrates real sex workers to merely being an object.
Bizarre.

I was thinking that's why there were no pictures of the complaining prostitutes.

I'd like to see the tax return: Sex Doll Depreciation, 100 percent over three months.
"For Sale: used sex dolls, slightly garroted and reassembled after dismemberment, but lots of useful life left. Will still twitch when strangled."

Prostitutes say the darnedest things
And if a doll cannot match the services of a real person then they have nothing to worry about as the market learns this for themselves... unless the prostitutes are wrong.

People in most professions will say the same, right before they are replaced by robots.

They confuse the market for plastic with the market for affection services.

So be it. And might I suggest a career in robot design, manufacturing, and servicing.

Does that include the job of cleaning up these dolls in-between customers?

That job will be taken up primarily by the displaced prostitutes who already have plenty of experience in that department.

It's already an Ernest Hemingway poem.

EUROPE’S first sex robot brothel has been forced to move after real-life prostitutes complained sex dolls were stealing their trade.
The original location in Barcelona at 2 Baixada de Sant Miquel had been in the Spanish city’s Gothic quarter, north of the cathedral.
But the brothel, not far from La Rambla in the heart of the city has now moved to a mystery new location with a receptionist saying the address would only be given out to paying customers.
Prostitutes who work in the city with Aprosex - the Association of Sex Professionals - objected saying a doll cannot match the services of a real person and denigrates real sex workers to merely being an object.
A statement on their website read: "The sex-affection of a person can not be provided by a doll. They are different and compatible services. They do not communicate.
"They do not listen to you or caress you, they do not comfort you or look at you. They do not give you their opinion or drink a glass of champagne with you.â€
Janet, a prostitute with over 30 years in the industry, who works in the city’s Raval district said: "It is another strategy of the patriarchy that presents us as objects without rights or soul. A privilege of the wealthy classes.â€
She added the initiative was "a fetish for many men and women who wish to return to a childhood lacking in affectionâ€.
Municipal police in the Catalonian capital also launched an investigation into the legality of the brothel which offered clients sex with realistic state-of-the-art polymer sex dolls after it opened late last month.
However when the authorities tried to carry out a routine inspection they discovered that the business had since moved out of the premises.

The owner of the venue claimed they were not aware of what the property was being used for and only became aware of its use when they recognised the walls from photographs published on the internet.
The owner has since cancelled the tenancy agreement with the Lumidolls entrepreneurs.
When contacted, the brothel’s receptionist said she could not give out much information but said that the business was still operating.
She said: “We are simply moving to another place.â€
Lumidolls - a pun on a Spanish slang term for prostitute - is believed to be the first such brothel to open in Europe after similar venues in places like Japan and China were hugely popular.
The brothel offered the services of four life-like dolls which cost around £4,373 ($4,300, €5,000) to produce and are made in the US and made out of thermoplastic elastomer, charging punters around £105 (€120) for two hours.

Each one is unique and made to order although they measure between 1.6 and 1.7 meters tall and weigh 40 kilos.
The brothel’s website claims: “These are totally realistic dolls, both in the movement of their joints to the touch of their skin that will allow you to fulfil all your fantasies.â€
It adds: “These sex dolls will make the experience more pleasurable, exciting and erotic.â€
