I would suggest that it is more common for straight women, I don't know enough about gay women, to have sex with robots than it is for men. A vibrator is a robot, in many ways. It maybe isn't a full personification of a human, but that hasn't seemed to hurt their popularity. The difference is that women, don't seem to be looking to replace a human partner with a robot, but men who are not able to attract a female, seem to be willing to make this exchange. I think we need to be honest about what people are getting out of these interactions. A woman wants sexual gratification. As far as I know the relationship with the vibrator doesn't go much beyond that. A man wants ego gratification. I suspect that's why it is important that it be a physical embodiment. If it was just about physical gratification, that is possible without having to make a humanoid robot. But for him to feel like he is king of the hill and has attracted the ultimate (in his mind) feminine, he needs that person looking/feeling thing. They even go so far as to make them talk to build up the man's ego even further.
