A brothel full of sex dolls has opened up in Barcelona, Spain. Lumi Dolls offers four models that anyone can reserve for a set amount of time. Thanks to new technology , Lumi Dolls brags that its dolls are among the most realistic on the market -- and
they cost around euro 120 per hour. The brothel offers other services as well, including overnight stays and options for couples. Each of the models come complete with a sort of character page on the Lumi Dolls website, which houses a description
of the doll's anatomy, creative inspiration, and what to look forward to in the doll's room. Noticeably absent from the Lumi Dolls cast are any male doll models. And it's not like the technology doesn't exist. It would seem that the company
believes straight men are set to be the most lucrative market, at least for now. Lumi Doll's products might not have artificial intelligence yet , but there are various sex doll companies working on implementing A.I. into their toys . Regardless,
opening up a sex doll brothel is a step toward developing these sorts of creations and services. |

The Royal Navy bans sailors from possessing anything but BBFC approved porn

The Royal Navy has banned posters of glamour models so as not to offend women sailors after some complained of feeling intimidated by the soft porn. Perhaps the banning of public space pin ups is understandable in these PC times but the Navy's
rules go further and effectively ban sailors from all but a tiny portion of available porn. Sailors were told about the ban when they were given an amended version of the Royal Navy's Queen Regulations. A new section titled Pin-ups and Pornography
reads: Possession of films/videos and all forms of digital media (e.g DvDs, or downloads from the internet) that have been certified by the British Board of Film Censors is permitted. All other pornographic
material is prohibited.
A Naval source told The Sun about these miserable rules: To be fair, this is part of the service coming into the 21st Century, being more inclusive and not offending women.
But a lot of the lads are moaning about this because porn has been rife across the fleet for generations, and this is the result of a few people complaining.

Playboy magazine has announced it is bringing back nudity, reversing a decision made last year. The move was announced by Playboy's new chief creative officer Cooper Hefner, who said the decision to remove nudity entirely was a mistake . He
tweeted: Today we're taking our identity back and reclaiming who we are. Nudity was never the problem because nudity isn't a problem
The US magazine also promoted its
March-April edition with a picture of its playmate of the month with the hashtag #NakedIsNormal. Some social media users welcomed the U-turn, describing it as a good call , while others said the decision was taken because the magazines
weren't selling too well. Too bad free porn is still easy to access . Samir Husni, a journalism professor at the University of Mississippi, said Playboy's ban on nudity had probably alienated more readers than it attracted. He told the
Associated Press: Playboy and the idea of non-nudity is sort of an oxymoron,
In next month's issue, the magazine will also revive some of its old franchises, including The Playboy Philosophy and
Party Jokes. However, Playboy will drop the subtitle Entertainment for Men from its covers. Update: But before you rush out and buy a copy... 15th February 2017 See
article from outsidethebeltway.com The next issue, which hits newsstands at the end of the month, will feature women who are
topless and almost fully exposed. (Think strategically placed leaf, hand or leg.) |

Sex worker small ads on Backpage.com are censored by the US authorities via a campaign of persecution and harassment

Backpage.com, one of the world's largest classified ad websites and a frequent target in the political battle against sex work, closed its adult ads section Monday in the United States after becoming the victim of a government witch hunt. The move
came shortly after the release of a U.S. Senate report that accused Backpage of hiding criminal activity by deleting terms from ads that indicated prostitution. The abrupt closure came on the eve of the scheduled testimony of Backpage's founders,
Michael Lacey and James Larkin, and the site's CEO, Carl Ferrer, before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs' subcommittee on investigations. To keep problematic ads online, the company edited them. One moderator said
he removed material that was obviously indicative of prostitution but the post remained published. According to the Senate report, the moderator testified under oath: [M]y responsibility was to make the ads OK to run live on the site, because having
to get rid of the ad altogether was bad for business. By late Monday, visitors to Backpage saw censored tags in red font under the adult section's menu of escorts, body rubs and strippers. Other sections remained operative, including
for cars, real estate and childcare. Backpage said: Like the decision by Craigslist to remove its adult category in 2010, this announcement is the culmination of years of effort by government at various levels to exert
pressure on Backpage.com and to make it too costly to continue.
