In 2018, the Houston City Council made headlines by enacting a regulation to ban the operation of the first so-called robotic ``brothel’’ in the United States.

At a community meeting, a participant warned: “Businesses like this will destroy our neighbor’s homes, families, financial situation, and cause significant community turmoil in the city.”

But the terrible predictions like this are pure speculation. At present, there is no evidence that the introduction of love doll /robots will have an impact on individuals or society.
