I think you are perhaps getting mixed up. The uncanny valley effect occurs when something that you know isn't real that approaches a more familiar state. As your familiarity with the nonliving object increases, that can paradoxically cause you to be repulsed by the object if it isn't 100% right. However, the thing is, you wouldn't feel this effect on something that is already real. You might be creeped out by it, but that is something entirely different at play. Not Uncanny Valley. The kinds of situations where this would come into play would be if someone modelled your partner out of wax in the nude (think Madame Tussauds but for nudity)...
