Line 79:
* [[Charles Stross]] [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructs]] this with his protagonist in ''Saturn's Children''. She's a robot built for ultimate human sexual pleasure in an universe where {{spoiler|humans no longer exist}}.
==
* The ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' [[Star Trek: The Next Generation/Recap/S1/E02 The Naked Now|episode where Data and Tasha Yar have sex]], although they were [[Kissing Under the Influence]] at the time. This has given Data a bit of a reputation as a [[Memetic Sex God]], the results of which include the song ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qar0unFwm2I The Positronic Pimp]'' by [[Nerd Core]] rappers Futuristic Sex Robotz and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DYrlt3CyaE The Sexy Data Tango]'' by [[Voltaire (musician)|Voltaire]]. Not sure if the Borg queen counts, since she's a cyborg.

* The ''[[Angel]]'' episode "Lineage":
{{quote|'''Fred:''' ''[about the cyborg]'' This thing really blurs the line between human and robot.
Line 88:
* ''[[MythBusters]]'': Frequently joked and hinted about Grant, loading in as much [[Geeky Turn On]] as they can [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|for a G-rated show]]. In the episode where they're testing lie detectors, it's "revealed" that he's given serious thought to building a female robot (or just got the giggles and threw off the polygraph, as has been known to happen). Then the episode where they introduce the professional bomb squad robot and it's apparently love at first sight. (Trivia: Grant has been in ''[[Battlebots]]'', worked for ILM and was the driver of [[Star Wars|R2-D2]] in the prequel movies.)
* Though ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' doesn't state it outright, this is ''strongly'' implied to be the relationship between future John Connor and Cameron, and almost happens between the current John and Cameron (for [[Squick|given definitions of "penetration"]]....)
* In a talk at a
* ''[[Star Trek: Voyager
** He said he ''had'' a son, not that he's fathered him personally. He could have been adopted.
*** And the time his sexual subroutines were deleted so he could fit into a smaller data, ah, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|package]], for transmission to the Alpha Quadrant.
Line 95:
'''EMH Mark 2:''' "Sex? How's that possible? We're not equipped with a--"
'''EMH:''' "Let's just say I made an addition to my program."
'''EMH Mark 2:''' "Before you leave maybe you could... [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?|download those subroutines into my database]]?" }}
* ''[[Lexx]]''{{'}}s 790 was a robot head (mis-)programmed for love, yet incapable of [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?|interfacing]] with anyone as he lacked even a tongue. Not that that stopped [[Squick|a robot head fetishist who owned a special groin attachment...]]
* ''[[Caprica]]'': Philo and Robot Zoe. Complicated by the robot having the mind of a dead girl and doubly complicated by him not knowing this.
* {{spoiler|Sikozu}} of ''[[Farscape]]'' is revealed to be a [[Robot Girl]] and ends up in a relationship with [[Big Bad|Scorpius]]. However, she is made of organic technology, as opposed to mechanical.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''
** The Buffybot was originally built by [[Evil Genius|Warren]] at Spike's request to act as a sex toy. Eventually Willow reprogrammed her and she joined the Scoobies, but still occasionally flirted with Spike - much to his annoyance.
** Warren himself built an android version of his ex-girlfriend April after she dumped him. (For those who didn't get the hint about Warren, he was a pervert, misogynist, and was bat-shit crazy.)
