Fiction commonly uses sexuality to show characters' negative qualities. Villains may be shown engaging in [[VillainousIncest incest]], {{paedo|Hunt}}philia, [[BestialityIsDepraved bestiality]] and/or garden-variety {{rape|IsASpecialKindOfEvil}}, or their lack of sexual desire [[NoLoveForTheWicked can be a sign that they are evil]]. Unlike those tropes, this one isn't a sign that the character is necessarily evil, just creepy.

* ComicBook/ScarletWitch is this DependingOnTheWriter. Some writers will portray her relationship with ComicBook/TheVision as a valid, heartwarming one that has given her the happiest moments of her life. Others will attempt to pair her off with ComicBook/WonderMan reasoning that since Vision is based on his brainwaves, he's the ''real'' person that Wanda fell in love with, while Vision is just a facsimile of the true thing - nothing other than a robot, that couldn't give her ''real'' children (even though it's established that Simon is just as sterile]. The most extreme examples make her relationship with Vision a toxic, self-destructive affair, and have the rest of the Avengers act like they're indulging in a weird quirk of Wanda, with most of them hoping that Wanda falls in love with a ''real'' human being.

* {{Played With}} in Literature/TheSpaceTrilogy. In ''Literature/ThatHideousStrength'' it is mentioned that the wicked inhabitants of [[{{Lunarians}} Sulva]] built artificial bodies so as to allow them to be inhabited by [[OurDemonsAreDifferent dark eldila]], enabling sexual relations between them and the Sulvans, and this is certainly evidence of their utter depravity. But the Sulvans are not, strictly speaking, robosexuals: they want to have sex with ''demons'', and the robotic bodies were only to make this possible considering that demons are otherwise pure spirits that lack bodies.

** At the south coast of Hyrule, a woman named Loone can be found snuggling with a Sheikah orb she's named Roscoe, who she speaks to as if it were a lover. However, if Link brings her pictures of Guardians, the mechanical menaces of Hyrule too dangerous for most people to approach, Loone will be so enamored by them that she'll ditch the orb and act like she never cared about it. Subverted, however, if Link lures over a real Guardian, to which she'll scream and run for her life (without Roscoe).

* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' has dealt with sexbots in a number of episodes, notably "Valerie 23" and "Mary 25", especially the moral ramifications of such technology. In the first episode, a man working at a cybernetics company is selected to test their first prototype Valerie. He feels insulted at first, stressing that he's more than capable of attracting real women. He later goes for it anyway and does have sex with Valerie, but when he tries to discard her in favor of another human she becomes a {{Yandere}}. Whether Valerie is [[DoAndroidsDream truly sentient]] is debatable, but the ending leans towards "yes" when she fears her own death. In the second episode, the guy's boss is shown using a house android designed to be a nanny for sex, which is presented as predatory. [[spoiler:Turns out he also replaced his human wife with an android after murdering her to cover up his crime, then mistreated the android "wife" until she wanted to kill her "husband".]]

When she started to malfunction she couldn't be fixed, since she was a discontinued model, and he was devastated every time a persocom expert nonchalantly told him to just get a new one. After [[HeroicSacrifice Yumi "died" by pushing him out of the way of a speeding car]], Ueda held a funeral for her, [[BileFascination which became a media sensation]] due to the fact that no one would mourn a broken down persocom as much as he did. Ironically, though, one of the reporters in the flashback notes that a lot of people ''have'' actually been holding funerals for their persocoms.

One in particular likes switching brains with the SexBot, which is used as a plot twist rather than being commented on.
