I suppose there ARE many advantages to having a robot wife.

i.e. a power off button, a reset button.

I think I'll stick with homo sapiens for now though...

I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine ..... A hugging kissing fiend

I think it's high time you knew
Whenever I think of you
My mind blows a fuse
When I look in your eyes
My meter starts to rise
And I become confused
My motor cranked electric goes
When I'm sitting next to you
Electricity starts to flow
And my indicator starts to glow

I'm gentle as a lamb
I'm not that hard to program
There's no way that you can lose
Chassis fits like a glove
I've got a button for love
That you've got to use (push it push it baby)
If you look into my power
I am sure you can find out how
To turn me on just set my dial
And let me love you for a little while ooooooh

The movie Blade Runner had inter-appliance sex. The movie was based on the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", by Philip K. Dick, but I don't remember if the sex was in the book.

I can't get the page to load for some reason.

Regardless, the concept of human-robot marriages makes me think of The Stepford Wives, for obvious reasons.

Battlestar Galactica has some absolutely gorgeous robots...

There was some mention of sex between humans a robots in one of Asimov's books if I remember...

 

[Manchot]

I'm reminded of this quote from the first episode of Futurama:

FRY: Wait, you're the only friend I have...
BENDER: You really want a robot for a friend?
FRY: Yeah, ever since I was six.
BENDER: Well, okay, but I don't want people thinking we're robosexuals, so if anyone asks, you're my debugger.

Robot pickup lines:
You have a loose screw and I know just how to fix it.
Would you like to go back to my place and see my RAM?

There was the robot male prostitute in AI.

Mute! Mute! Mute!

While we're on the subject, we shouldn't forget Moe Darklight's sad tale of robot/lizard love:

Zooby, just say you were wrong and apologize. Trust me, it's the only way.

 

[moe darklight]

mmm, Terminatrix :!) I don't care what they say about you being a machine sent from the future to destroy the human race, we can make it work!

yet another point for robot wives ... I'm not helping, am I.

Don't forget your true love, Moe:

You'd think that whoever was building the robots would have had the sense to leave out the "I want to get married" program.

Don't forget your true love, Moe:

ah! careful, I can shoot you with my laser missiles!

I hope you got the flowers. I called the first flower vendor I could reach by phone in Teheran and ordered a big bouquet addressed to Lisa!. It could be I was talking to a hardware store, though. I don't speak Farsi.
