I dunno if this is a pertinent question or not, but some in this thread have stated that having gay sex does not necessarily make one gay. It’s only when the person is attracted to someone of the same sex.
Am I missing something here? When other than in prostitution and bored marriages does one have sex with someone to whom they are not attracted?

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.
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?
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.
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.
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.)

Dorothy Wainwright is cool, but for my robosexual tastes nothing beats Ifurita from the anime El-Hazard.
Sexy, and capable of mass destruction.

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).

Why you gotta make me choose?

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.
