And let’s not forget Gigolo Joe and Gigolo Jane from Spielberg’s **AI**. ---

Do Wolverine and Phoenix/Black Widow/Viper/Silver Fox etc. etc. etc. count? His skeleton is coated in adamantium. Also there’s Ultron, the killer robot with the honest-to-God Oepidal complex, and his “mother” Wasp. It was rather one-sidedly romantic. Vision and Scarlet Witch would be the most famous couple in comics, though. ---

_Kikaider: The Animation_ is playing on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim right now. There’s a bit of romantic/sexual tension between the hero, an innocent male android designed for battle, and the daughter of his human creator. If they get around to importing the _01_ series, we’ll get to see a couple of female androids too. ---

Holy crap. I can’t believe I forgot about [Making Mr. Right](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0093477). I wonder if John Malkovich has? ---

Actually, I don’t think there are all that many robotic sex toys in porn. I can think of one offhand because I wrote a review about it. In a softcore premium TV series called “Thrills” there was an episode called, “Cyber-Sex Exclusive” about a reporter who’s assigned to try out a robot sex toy. Pretty sad story, really, it was like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie – the male lead can’t handle the female lead’s powers and represses them. Yech. I think the problem with porn and robots is that so few of the actors can portray a human being well enough to make a robot seem robotic by comparison. :eek: Can’t think of any others offhand, except for a novel called Jetta 2100 that looks at the actual technology of robot sex toys, that I’ve been writing. the female lead of Metropolis was a sex toy kinda robot if memory serves. Has anyone mentioned the Stepford Wives? I think not! And there was that dreadful “Demon Seed” movie about the computer that falls for IIRC Julie Christie. ---

Won’t link to it, although it’s pretty “clean.” ---

In the story “Satisfaction Guaranteed” by Isaac Asimov, the handsome male-humanoid robot TN-3 (nicknamed Tony) is designed for domestic work. The test housewife falls in love with it. Written in 1951, the story doesn’t even imply sex and describes only minimal physical contact. ---

On the DC side of comics, the Red Tornado had a human girlfriend. Kathy I think her name was. I also seem to remember a Marilyn Chambers vehicle called Angel of H.E.A.T. with sex robots with hyper kinky overdrive.
