Prison and long voyages at sea.
But really, the point is that sexuality is defined by attraction, not by action. A virgin still has a sexual orientation, even though he’s never engaged in a sex act.
You’d have to peel back his skin to see those. Rough sex?
Ummm, can I have that replicant Rachael from Blade Runner, instead?
Please?
Uh…this is a choice?

Shhhh!!!
Speaking of androids…I’ve wondered something for a while: say Data or some other android was capable of, uh, emitting nanocytes (or nanites,) is it theoretically possible the android would be able to father a half-human child?
Bah. I say Alita/Gunnm pwns Ifurita! 
Some of the battle scenes in the manga are just jaw-droppingly awesome.
ETA: To answer the OP, I agree with the people who think actual boinking with a robot or cyborg shaped like the same gender would make me homosexual, but being attracted to one would.
However it is one of the warning signs.
Not only would having sex with Data make you gay, having sex with you would make Data gay.
In fact, he has a dimmer switch that makes him more or less gay as needed.
What makes you think Data only has male plumbing? He could just be a very convincing butch…
Or even a hemaphrobodite.
I think we’re overlooking the most important question;
What would Data receive instead of the complimentary toaster?
A fourth button.
Maria! I just made a girl named Maria!
Anyway, if I were going to have a fling with a male sexbot, and I’m not saying I would, it would have to be Gigolo Joe. Not only was he prettier than Data, he just seems more fun. Data may know a variety of techniques, but he would probably explain each one to you in a dry, pedantic delivery. Now for a long term relationship, Data would certainly have more to talk about.
Oh, and being attracted to a male robot rather than it’s female counterpart would be a strong indication of gaiety.
Alita (Galley) isn’t a robot. She has a human brain.
Between Ifurita and R. Dorothy Wainright, all I can say is “I’ll be in my bunk.”
Ack!
Given my once-rabid Trekkieness, I’d like to vote for both of them. Not at the same time, though, I just don’t see that going well.
If I can’t have both…sigh…I’d have to go with Gigolo Joe. But nobody tell Data. (Or Brent either, for that matter, who was awesome to me at a con once. Lord I am a geek.)
Gigolo Joe, please!
And then when we’re done, he can be a dear and go fetch me a caffeinated beverage while Data and I have a nice long chat about something interesting.
Would any ‘straight’ female dopers be curious about a Fem-Bot?
On both counts, I’ll take on Mahoro and Minawa Ando. (No, they aren’t teenage girls: they are both in fact battle robots dressed as maids, from Mahoromatic).
But what would Lore say?
You know, technically you could have both at once.
As an aside, I’m sure young Rusty Venture was seen through the rough days of adolescence by H.E.L.P.eR. and he still certainly has a *penchant *for the ladies.
