History Main / Sexbot

* ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'': Guri sometimes serves as this for Xizor, in addition to his personal assistant and assassin.

A robot designed as a sexual toy for human beings. Specifically - not just a robot designed to be capable of having sex if it wants to. Not necessarily a RoboticSpouse.

* In the ''Anime/MyOtome'' manga, Miyu the MAID has these capabilities, with abilities such as increasing the size of her breasts to match even [[GagBoobs Erstin Ho]], and supposedly being able to accommodate both genders and any sexual preference. Miyu's adaptability is fortunate for her, because Alyssa's plans to win the competition between the [=MAIDs=] and Otomes involve Miyu seducing the WholesomeCrossdresser Mashiro.

** In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "The Naked Now" Data reveals to a delighted Tasha Yar that he is fully functional in every way and programmed in multiple techniques. Though, of course, that is a bonus, not his primary role.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'', the asexual Todd, who loves Emily but realises that he can't satisfy her physically, builds a sexbot he dubs "Henry Fondle" to smooth over their relationship. It's entirely PlayedForLaughs, as Henry is a resolutely unsexy creation,[[note]]what else would you expect, given he's designed by someone who doesn't understand sex?[[/note]] having a [[TinCanRobot non-humanoid design]] built from [[{{Macgyvering}} random household objects glued together,]] with dildos and other sex toys poking out. Emily obviously never uses him.

* ''Manga/Yuria100Shiki'' is about a Sex Bot who wants to ''screw'' [[ScrewDestiny her own destiny]]. The kicker, however, is that she's still not quite able to disobey her programming, and so will [[DeusSexMachina incorporate a sex act into any problem she attempts to solve]]. HilarityEnsues, as the [[InnocentCohabitation male lead]] is trying to save himself for his girlfriend.

** In the pilot of ''Anime/GhostInTheShellSAC2045'', the Major sees some gynoid street hookers who only activate when she looks in their direction. In a later episode, Togusa is bemused to find the Tachikomas using those same sexbots to raise money for repairs.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' had one episode featuring an educational video for middle schoolers warning humans not to date robots. All civilization is just an effort to impress the opposite sex (and sometimes the same sex), it says, and posits that dating a robot whose artificial love for you is unconditional causes you to lose any interest in doing anything else, which will cause the Earth to be destroyed by aliens. A fan theory suggests that this actually happened -- the flying saucers in the video are identical to the ones we see destroying Old New York in the pilot.

* ''Film/BladeRunner2049''. Joi is a holographic ArtificialIntelligence made by Wallace Corporation for lonely people who want to experience a relationship (including sharing feelings and intimate thoughts). Joi can synchronize with the body of a real woman for "physical" sex, and does so with a prostitute at one point to have sex with the protagonist.

* Practically inverted by Samantha in the film ''Film/{{her|2013}}'' - she doesn't have a body, but is capable of thought, reason and emotion. She can offer Theodore warmth, affection and romance, but cannot physically interact with him. Subverted in that neither of them seem to mind all that much-after an awkward encounter with a sex worker role-playing as Samantha, they appear to decide that physical contact isn't all that important, and emotional connection is enough.

* Though it wasn't stated onscreen, [=RoboBrenda=] from the 1999 film version of ''Film/InspectorGadget'' was one of these: a ditzier version of Brenda (Gadget's creator) with enhanced breasts and a skintight purple bodysuit. The novelization (a kids' tie-in) gives her a line where she states that she's Scolex's "pleasure unit." Understandably, the real Brenda is more than slightly horrified.

* ''Film/{{Movie 43}}'' features a segment revolving around the "[[IProduct iBabe]]", discussing its design flaws.

* ''VisualNovel/VA11HALLA'' has Dorothy, an gynoid with the body of a prepubescent girl but is mentally an adult who works as a prostitute.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* In the furry webcomic ''Webcomic/TwentyFirstCenturyFox'' one of the protagonists is shanghaid to a Chinese Space Station where due to the 'one child' policies to reduce population there are no females on board requiring sex bots of various species to serve the male population, the protagonist being an engineer is required to help repair the damaged bots (he later rescues one of them as part of his successful escape).

* From the movie ''Film/AIArtificialIntelligence'' there's Gigolo Joe and his female counterpart, Gigolo Jane. They do seem to have very different programming, with Joe shown making an extended effort to sweet-talk his female clientiele. From what little we see of Jane, she's straightforward and no-nonsense. The robots' creator himself is seen in the opening, where his colleagues joke that he's known for indulging a fair bit in his own work (to which he also jokingly replies "Quality control is very important").

* ''Literature/KilnPeople'' by David Brin is about a world where people can download their personality -- suitably edited according to what task they want to do -- into clay 'golems', e.g black golems are all logic and focus and are used for intense study, green golems are happy to do boring household tasks, while white golems are highly sensual as they are used for sex. The protagonist's girlfriend has to go on a trip, and leaves a white golem packed away in the freezer "in case you get lonely."

However, it's entirely PlayedForLaughs, as Henry is a resolutely unsexy creation, having an overall [[TinCanRobot tin-can]] design built from [[{{Macgyvering}} random household objects glued together,]] with dildos and other sex toys poking out. Emily obviously never uses him.

* ''Literature/LucifersStar'' by Creator/CTPhipps has these as one of the products by Ares Electronics with bioroids being the brainwashed slaves of many planets. Sex is just one of the activities they are produced for but the former profession of their medic, Isla. For BlackHumor value, it's also implied she's a model based on a [[Film/{{Frozen}} Disney Princess equivalent]].

* In the cyberpunk horror game ''VideoGame/{{Observer}}'', one of the apartments is home to a sexbot called FemCom 6.0, which answers the door because its owner is away.

** There is a funny episode in the second season of [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex the series]] where the Major has to impersonate Chief Aramaki's sex doll for a party of rich pervs (they were going to arrest the host for embezzling), and the rest of the crew comment on how the old man is enjoying it way too much. At one point the team are leering over the Major's AbsoluteCleavage SexyBacklessOutfit dress, then get [[HypocriticalHumor immediately indignant]] when one of the guests feels her up.

** In a non-canon sidestory, Agatha makes what she calls a "mechanical bedwarmer", which looks like a robot double of Gil.

* ''Anime/DominionTankPolice'', another anime based on a Creator/MasamuneShirow manga, has among its main antagonists a pair of former sexbots. (Any ''reference'' to their previous career, however, is usually taken as a RantInducingSlight.) And a ''lot'' of fetish appeal when you find out that one of their features is to expel water to shrink to midget (cute) size. Could be for storage opportunity, but still...

** The concept is also expressed as clearly as you could on prime time TV in the Sixties in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", when Christine Chapel meets her fiance's robot nurse, who for some reason is a [[TheissTitillationTheory lot more scantily clad]] than the male androids he has serving him. First she refers to Andrea as "a mechanical geisha" (in keeping with the common misconception that geishas are prostitutes), and then:

* Several ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' episodes explored the inherent problems with sexbots, though some of them were created for non-sexual purposes but just happened to be "fully functional."

** The various androids of the Planet Mudd in "I, Mudd." Chekov is enjoying his "harem," except for the fact that they "aren't real girls." They inform him that they are, and that Harry Mudd programmed them to "function as human women." Chekov's reaction? "This place is even better than [[HistoryMarchesOn Leningrad!]]"

* A variation in ''Literature/TheWindupGirl'' by Creator/PaoloBacigalupi, with the eponymous windup girl Emiko created by genetic engineering rather than mechanical means. For instance her skin has less pores to make it smooth to the touch; unfortunately this means she's constantly in danger of {{overheating}}. Another story by the same author, ''Mika Model'', features a sexbot that definitely has a computer brain, although she is also apparently largely biological.

** A similar situation occurs in the second season with a [[LoliconAndShotacon Shota]] Doll. Though not out right stated, this is the implied use for him.
