Having sex with him wouldn’t make you gay. Hell, even being attracted to him wouldn’t make you gay. I have had sex with women before and that doesn’t mean I’m gay. I am attracted to women and that doesn’t make me gay either because I am still attracted to and enjoy having sex with men as well. I think it would make you at the very least curious and at the most robobisexual.
Having sex with Data? No. Starting a thread like this, though… :dubious:
Thinking about it makes you gay.
It would not make you ‘teh gay’. On the other hand, it may just make you ‘tech gay’.
Is R2-D2 a boy or a girl?
And what secret appendages are hiding behind those panels?
Really! – Only another R2 unit needs to know that.
Threesome?
You ever wonder if R2 puts his computer interface rod into that circle on C3P0’s chest once in awhile?
Data and Lore aren’t gay. They’re binary.
Otto Why is Data an it? I thought this was settled in The Measure Of A Man? How is Data not a person deserving of the word he? You say Data could select to be female. So what? At least one episode of DS9 showed Bashir to be fully capable of performing srs. Any of the biological characters of Trek could just as easily change genders Data could.
Mm, I’ll give you half a point – I think the eternal debate over what is humanity in BGA/Gunnm overtook me when I was posting that. (for the uninitiated, the protagonist is wondering what exactly makes her human) That said, the reason the half point was taken is something that others will have to read the books for. 
Oh thank I was so worried ! Thats a relief !Er harrumph good point I mean.
But to answer the o.p. having sex with Data wouldn’t make you a gay it would make you some sort of household appliance or mechanical device.
But I seem to recall in one episode he gave Lieutenant Yar a bloody good seeing to.
So if you were a bloke he’d probably tell you to fuck off AND call you a Homo.
No, he’d probably analyze the situation to the two hundredth decimal place.
No, if you were reasonably polite about it, he’d probably have sex with you. There’s no logical reason for him not to.
He’d probably try to calculate first if it would do harm to your future relationship with him or your relationships with others first. Although, not being an Asimovian robot, he wouldn’t HAVE TO, but he’s just that nice a guy.
I’m thinking you might be a latent appliance fetishist.
Better go have a talk with L. Ron Hoover at the First Church of Appliantology.
Data was always open to the ‘human expierence’ and since Homosexuality is a human expierence, I think Data would be rather open minded about such things.
In fact, there are already probably about a million fanfic stories about it.
If cyborgs count, I’d do Major Motoko Kusangi in a heartbeat. Although I’m not sure the Major actually has genitals. But I’m pretty sure she does.
According to the original manga, she does…and that they function at levels beyond conventional human imagination.
Also, she’s at least bi or pansexual. This was demonstrated, “on screen,” with her and at least two of her girlfriends.
See you, and raise.
Anyway, on a related note, how about Clara Bellar’s mecha-nanny from A.I.?
Well, you know me…I’m always a sucker for a kind face and a pretty voice.
