* The ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' fan fiction ''Fanfic/{{Trouble}}'' details the incredibly complex and bizarre relationship between Butch Deloria, a leather jacket toting greaser barber, and Harkness, the chief of security in Rivet City who is secretly an android.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'':

* Hyena of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' has some rather... disturbing intentions toward the Coyote robot. Upon learning that Coyote is a robot instead of a human in armor, her reaction is "Even better!" Which said, Hyena is just in general disturbing; she's a NightmareFetishist if you count all her {{squick}}y kinks. Though she ''is'' a {{cyborg}}, [[EvenEvilHasStandards even her own teammates find her lusts worrying]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2006'', Brainiac 5's man-crush (yes, the term has been used by the writers of the [[RecursiveAdaptation comic adaptation]]) on Supes counts. When you're programming 'training simulations' of being held by Superman while you die in his arms complete with romantic music, you've got it ''bad''.[[note]]We know Brainy in the original LSH stories isn't a robot. The writers for this series either didn't know or didn't care, and turned him into one.[[/note]]

* In the private shelter path of ''WebOriginal/GroundZero'', the main character can [[spoiler: befriend and fall in love with the AI that operates the shelter]], and it can even be that the [[spoiler: AI transfers her consciousness into a {{Fembot}}, whom the main character calls Eliza.]]

* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', Mr Universe is married (for all we know, this might be legally binding) to a "Pleasurebot". Well, he calls it that; it appears to be an inanimate sex doll with a tape recorder installed.

* ''WebAnimation/TeenGirlSquad'': In Issue 15, [[OccidentalOtaku Japanese Culture Greg]] tries to go out with Chizuko, a robot girl left over from a consumer robotics exposition (who ends up zapping him with EyeBeams), much to the disgust of Sci-Fi Greg, who defies the trope.

* The RobotGirl Chachamaru of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' is certainly capable of love, and it is ''[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything heavily]]'' implied that she can experience [[TheImmodestOrgasm sexual pleasure]], though in an [[FantasticArousal unorthodox manner]]. It still involves [[IncrediblyLamePun screwing]] though. Her creator, Saotomi Hakase, later does create her a body that is "H" capable.

* In ''Film/SirArthurConandoylesSherlockHolmes'', Miss Ivory is revealed to be a [[RobotGirl clockwork automaton]] built by SpringHeeledJack and also his lover.

'''EMH Mark 2:''' Before you leave maybe you could... [[SexualEuphemism download those subroutines into my database]]?

* ''VisualNovel/DaCapo'':
** Miharu has a robotic double. This is a little squicky considering her father built it. Apparently, it's necessary to not only give robots the ability to have sex, but to also give them a hymen and the ability to feel the loss of virginity. What the hell.
** ''VisualNovel/DaCapoII'' (which has another robot, Minatsu) justifies this by saying that the original scientists involved didn't want to just create laborers, second class citizens or anything, but rather build robots who could interact with humans as equals and do everything they could as well.

* ''Manga/OutlawStar'': Jean steadily becomes attracted to Melfina, despite knowing she's [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots an advanced]] [[ArtificialHuman bio-android.]] Which culminates with them becoming an OfficialCouple while in the subspace of the Galactic Leyline and is sealed by TheBigDamnKiss.

* Robots in ''Manga/YokohamaKaidashiKikou'' -- including the leading character — are definitely capable of relationships, but then, their difference from actual people [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots is rather cosmetic]].

* In ''VisualNovel/DramaticalMurder'', Aoba is this [[spoiler:in Clear's route.]]

* Deunan in ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'' isn't particularly bothered that her man [[{{Cyborg}} Briareos]] has a robot-body. But then, Creator/MasamuneShirow's robots and cyborgs usually [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot seem to be human enough]] anyway.
* ''Anime/ArmitageIII'' has multiple people in relationships with the Thirds, though Thirds are so close to being human, most people can't tell they are actually robots. Armitage was the only Third whose human spouse knew what she was. Worth noting that the entire purpose of [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Third stage robots]] was to create an artificial lifeform capable of mating with humans and producing viable offspring, because [[MarsNeedsWomen Mars literally needs women to bolster their low birth rates, and not enough were immigrating]].

* ''Manga/OutlawStar'': Jean steadily becomes attracted to Melfina, despite knowing she's [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot an advanced]] [[ArtificialHuman bio-android.]] Which culminates with them becoming an OfficialCouple while in the subspace of the Galactic Leyline and is sealed by TheBigDamnKiss.

* Robots in ''Manga/YokohamaKaidashiKikou'' -- including the leading character — are definitely capable of relationships, but then, their difference from actual people [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot is rather cosmetic]].

* In ''Film/BladeRunner'', Rick Deckard falls in love with Rachael, a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Replicant]]. The [[Film/BladeRunner2049 sequel]] plays with by giving the ''robot'' an artificial girlfriend who's a degree less sentient than he is, the [[ProjectedMan hologram girl]] Joi. Joi hires a prostitute and synchronizes their movements so she can have sex, but there's some question as to whether she's actually in love or just obeying her programming (she's specifically designed as a companion for lonely people).

* Creator/GeorgeRRMartin's ''Literature/WildCards'' feature Modular Man, a RidiculouslyHumanRobot built by a hyperinventive Ace scientist, and considered an actual Ace by others. Modular Man is shaped like a male supermodel, fully functional in regards of this trope, and pretty popular with the ladies. His creator then uses the memory cache [[PowerPerversionPotential for porn]], to Mod' Man's grief.

* The ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "Lineage":

* Cylons in ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}''. Although they are more like organic robots. Organic ''sexy'' robots. A straighter (and weirder) example occurs when Boomer, [[TomatoInTheMirror who is unknowingly another humanoid Cylon]], comes across a captured Raider ship and starts suggestively caressing it to the bemusement of her human colleagues. This is a dubiously sexual act however, nor even necessarily sensual: it’s more that Sharon feels a certain profound and inexplicable connection to the nature of another Cylon lifeform, and an appreciation of its aesthetics, the same way one might glide a hand along a well-engineered machine or the side of a sleek animal -- or in this case, something that to a Cylon must feel like a bit of both. Threes do seem to be the most [[ExtremeOmnisexual omnisexual]] of the humanoid Cylons: they don't even stop at Creator/DeanStockwell.

* ''Series/BlackMirror'', "Beyond the Sea": Variation. While up in space, the astronauts send their consciousnesses into RidiculouslyHumanRobot replicas down on earth. It's these replicants that sleep with their wives. David's family is killed for it (and his replica destroyed) because the Manson-esque killers find [[RobosexualsAreCreeps the notion of a woman sharing her bed with a robot abhorrent]].

** The above line from ''Angel'' is a CallBack to an epusode when Spike had previously demanded Warren build him a robot version of Buffy for the sole purpose of "boffing". After the RoboticReveal, Willow stared at it with great interest. (Okay, it was revealed she had an interest in robotics before.) Then she looks after it when Buffy's gone. (Okay, being the smart girl, that would make sense.) Then the comics have Willow take more of an interest in Buffy's sex life than Angel before all but confirming they slept together, when Buffy may or may not have had her mind put in the bot at the time.
** Warren himself had previously built a robotic girlfriend, only to dump her for a human one. Xander comments that he's had similar thoughts, and when he gets weird looks laments that he needs more male friends.

* [[ChivalrousPervert Kagura]] of ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is implied to be this. In a matchup against [[BadassAdorable Carl Clover]], he'll look at his personal battle doll Nirvana/Ada, and:
-->''*to himself* "Is this... Legal?"''
* In ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}'', [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Exos]] are capable of feeling romantic attraction toward organic beings, although it's unclear if they are actually capable of anything physical. Both Cayde-6 and Eriana-3 showed clear romantic attachments to organics, and in Eriana-3's case it was LoveAtFirstSight when she met Wei Ning. After Wei Ning was killed by the Hive Prince Crota, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Eriana-3 launched an ill-fated raid on Crota out of grief-driven revenge]].

*** Several romanceable characters in the game are, or are revealed to be [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Synths]], though this is [[ArtificialHuman arguably stretching the definition of "robot"]]. Curie, another Miss Nanny, is only romanceable by the player [[spoiler:after transferring her consciousness from her old {{Starfish Robot|s}} body into [[BecomeARealBoy a human-like Synth body]]]].

* ''[[VideoGame/Persona3 Persona 3 FES]]'' adds [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Aigis]] in the Social Links. Hers is mostly about how she is discovering about life...and how her feelings for the protagonist are romantic in nature. It's mostly kept the same with the Female Protagonist in ''Portable'' with Aigis going through some {{Gayngst}} instead.

* As much of a RidiculouslyHumanRobot as she is, [[spoiler: the 00 Unit, Kagami Sumika,]] in ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvAlternative'' is still, very much, a robot, even though a huge point of the plot is that she's a human [[BrainUploading in a robotic body]]. Part of keeping her mind human (which helps avert AIIsACrapshoot) involves the main character and her committing, ahem, this trope.

** Brad also dated another robot, Melody, who [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot looks human]]. He didn't realize it until later. It wasn't a deal-breaker.

* Michael Sembello (the guy who wrote [[Film/{{Flashdance}} "Maniac"]] wrote a song called "Automatic Man", about a lonely man who builds a robot to woo a girl for him... only for the robot to decide it wants the girl for itself.

* ''Blog/TheTasteOfStatic'': {{Discussed}} briefy in "The Nadeux Machine". A joke that was lost to time implied that Marcel Nadeux and his machine (a proto-computer created to question 18th century ethics) had sexual feelings for each other.

** In ''Fanfic/RWBYScars'', Ruby begins dating Penny (here portrayed as a RobotGirl [[spoiler:with a human's soul]]) after being asked out to the dance. In this case, their relationship is non-sexual due to Ruby's [[UsefulNotes/{{asexual}} asexuality]].

** In ''Fanfic/RWBYScars'', Ruby begins dating Penny (here portrayed as a RobotGirl [[spoiler:with a human's soul]]) after being asked out to the dance. In this case, their relationship is non-sexual due to Ruby's UsefulNotes/{{asexuality}}.

* ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' has a slightly rarer variant of this in Mr. Zwicky and Edna, Diamond City's schoolteachers. Zwicky is an old man, while Edna is a decidedly non-humanoid Miss Nanny robot who is obviously carrying a torch for her coworker. If you talk to her about it and advise her that "love conquers all," the next time you visit the city, you can watch Zwicky and Edna getting married in front of the non-denominational chapel.
** Several romanceable characters in the game are, or are revealed to be [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Synths]], though this is [[ArtificialHuman arguably stretching the definition of "robot."]]
** In the ''Far Harbor'' DLC, the Sole Survivor can even have a fling with [[spoiler:a [[BrainInAJar Robobrain]].]]
* The ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'':
** The quest "Wang Dang Atomic Tango" has the owner of the Atomic Wrangler Casino hiring [[PlayerCharacter the Courier]] to find a "sexbot" to add to the establishment's stable of unique prostitutes... uh, [[IHaveThisFriend for the clients, of course]], [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial he's not one of those "disgusting machine fetishists."]] And thus we meet [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin F.I.S.T.O.]], a {{Zeerust}} security droid reprogrammed for human pleasure. If you want, you can even try him out before turning him in for the quest reward.
--->'''F.I.S.T.O.:''' [[AC:Please assume the position.]]\\

** It's heavily implied that Mr. House, [[AgeWithoutYouth a withered two-hundred-year-old human entombed within a life support system]], is (or at least was at some point) in a sexual relationship with Jane, one of his Securitrons in the Lucky 38 casino.
** The ''Old World Blues'' expansion introduces Dr. Dala, a BrainInAJar connected to some video screens, manipulator limbs and a hovering chassis. She's forgotten most of her humanity, but still manages to get rather... [[FantasticArousal excited...]] just from watching the Courier breathing.

* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' has [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformer_romance#Transformer_-_organic a rather odd relationship with this one.]] Came to a head in the atrocity known as ''Kiss Players'', where it formed the basis of what we shall for lack of a better term call "plot".

Such a plot often involves a RobotGirl / {{Fembot}} of course, and even a RoboticSpouse.

A SuperTrope to SexBot (a sentient machine specifically built for sex).

* ''Creator/OsamuTezuka'':
** The movie ''Hi No Tori 2772'' (also known as ''Space Firebird''), one of the major plot lines is the relationship between Godah and Olga. [[spoiler: They do eventually find themselves together, happily embraced - except Olga may not just be Olga. And in the very ending, she is reborn as human, and as his MOTHER.]]
** ''Manga/{{Phoenix}}: Resurrection'' - one of the main plot lines.
* One of the ''[[Anime/BubblegumCrisis AD Police Files]]'' involves a sex boomer who's gone berserk. Turns out there was a brief market for [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Ridiculously Human Sexbots]] until UncannyValley kicked in, so now the sex organs from these robots are being illegally recycled in maidbots and waitress bots that weren't designed for them, causing some of them to go insane.

* ''Literature/{{Beatless}}'' suggests a human-android romantic relationship in various ways, including pointing out Lacia's obvious attractiveness, casting her in various romance trope situations (e.g. letting Arato rest his head on her lap), and even stating (without further elaboration) that certain functions are only available to owners who are 18 or older.

* In the anime series ''Series/{{Kikaider}}'', the lead heroine seems to fall in love with the android Jiro. How physical their relationship went is rather ambiguous thanks to a vaguely erotic looking semi-offscreen repair sequence.
* The RobotGirl Chachamaru of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' is certainly capable of love, and it is ''[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything heavily]]'' implied that she can experience [[TheImmodestOrgasm sexual pleasure]], though in an [[FantasticArousal unorthodox manner]]. It still involves [[IncrediblyLamePun screwing]] though. Her creator, Saotomi Hakase, later does create her a body that is "H" capable.

* Creator/IsaacAsimov:
** ''Literature/TheRobotsOfDawn'': This is a plot point in the novel, for a number of reasons. 1) The robot in question is one of only two humanoid robots ever created, who look just alike. 2) The other such robot is Detective Elijah Baley's partner in the investigation of a murder. 3) No one on the world of Aurora finds anything odd about the relationship, despite its uniqueness; Aurora is such a [[FreeLoveFuture sexually open society]] that one character blames her father for ruining her life because he wouldn't sleep with her.
** "Literature/SatisfactionGuaranteed": Tony and Claire Belmont share a deeply passionate kiss (and Tony has arranged things such that her [[FancyDinner dinner guests]] will see them). Without knowing that Tony is a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots (Ridiculously Human) robot]], they believe Claire has an inhumanly handsome man in love with her.
** "Literature/TrueLove": Joe, a computer program written by Milton, has decided to start a romantic relationship [[spoiler:with Charity Jones]], because he has [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove taught it how to love]].

* Creator/CharlesStross

* ''Second Variety'' by Creator/PhilipKDick (later adapted as ''Film/{{Screamers}}''. The eponymous second variety of KillerRobot infiltrates by posing as a CampFollower in the Soviet army during World War III. Two of the other characters mention having sex with her before the RoboticReveal.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' animated series, Brainiac 5's man-crush (yes, the term has been used by the writers of the [[RecursiveAdaptation comic adaptation]]) on Supes counts. When you're programming 'training simulations' of being held by Superman while you die in his arms complete with romantic music, you've got it ''bad''.[[note]]We know Brainy in the original LSH stories isn't a robot. The writers for this series either didn't know or didn't care, and turned him into one.[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/LoveDeathAndRobots'': In "Good Hunting" the technophilic governor has Yan [[UnwillingRoboticisation unwillingly converted into a cyborg]] to sate his unconventional sexual appetites. She eventually has enough and uses her mechanical strength to kill him.

* Nene in ''Manga/SeitokaiYakuindomo'' sees her membership in the Robot Research Club as an excuse to create various vibrators [[ADateWithRosiePalms that she sticks in for 24/7]]. She has also expressed the desire to eventually build a {{sexbot}} of some sort.

* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': -verted all to hell with Beautie. She is a human-sized superpowered Barbie {{Expy}}, and while she has an interest in romance she finds the people who aren't put off by her completely rigid body and lack of genitalia more disturbing and difficult to interact with than those that are.

* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': -verted all to hell with Beautie. She is a human-sized superpowered Barbie {{Expy}}, and while she has an interest in romance she finds the people who aren't put off by her completely rigid body and lack of genitalia more disturbing and difficult to interact with than those that do.

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. In "Message in a Bottle", the Emergency Medical Hologram implies they have BarbieDollAnatomy, but our EMH has apparently fixed that to BecomeARealBoy.

* While Vision and Scarlet Witch were strongly implied to be having sex between the events of ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' and ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', it's in ''Series/WandaVision'' that they are explicitly confirmed to consummate it. The opening of the second episode shows that, fittingly for a sitcom produced under the Hays Code, [[NoHuggingNoKissing the two of them]] [[SleepingSingle sleep in separate beds.]] However, Wanda magically merges them together, and the two of them decide they like it better this way. [[SexyDiscretionShot Cue the two of them disappearing under the duvet for some privacy.]]

* ''LightNovel/{{Beatless}}'' suggests a human-android romantic relationship in various ways, including pointing out Lacia's obvious attractiveness, casting her in various romance trope situations (e.g. letting Arato rest his head on her lap), and even stating (without further elaboration) that certain functions are only available to owners who are 18 or older.
