Sex doll brothels are apparently now a thing. Let’s say you see a $ 100 mystery charge on your credit card statement and when asked your husband tells you he was super horny on the road and since you were not available he tried out a doll brothel and had sex with a life sized silicone doll. Are you OK with that?

Honestly, this is just elaborate masturbation, so I’d be cool with it. The $100 cost is something that ideally we’d have discussed beforehand though. ---

> [@TheChileanBlob](#): > > Honestly, this is just elaborate masturbation, so I’d be cool with it. The $100 cost is something that ideally we’d have discussed beforehand though. Meh, this is the sort of delight for advertising execs and procurement managers, not hole-diggers and clam shuckers. Such a fee is no more to them than the cost of lunch each day. Although, to be sure, such lunches are often paid by clients, who might not want to also pay for someone to get his rocks off. ---

> [@TheChileanBlob](#): > > Honestly, this is just elaborate masturbation, so I’d be cool with it. The $100 cost is something that ideally we’d have discussed beforehand though. This would mostly be my thinking. It’s more indiscreet, however, and one would have to imagine that part of the appeal was the phenomenon of going out somewhere and having the strangers on the facility’s staff know what one was doing. That might be worth discussing too. ---

I’d wonder why he wanted to do it, how was he treating the doll, was he using it to act out some fantasies of degrading or otherwise mistreating a woman etc. etc. It would just raise questions for me and would make me see him in a different light.
