Apart from the Natter, the trope description specifies that the trope is about robots specifically designed as sex tools, not simply robots capable of sex when it comes up. Jander is the latter.

* In IsaacAsimov's ''The Robots of Dawn'', Gladia Solaria used the humaniform robot Jander as such. She even referred to the robot as her husband. Note that other humans looked on this practice with disgust; also, as mentioned in ''Robots and Empire'' (the next book in the series), the fear of humaniform robots as perfect sexbots was enough to cause resistance against them -- hindering development and use of humaniform robots for decades.
** If memory serves, it is the calling-robot-a-husband thing that was squicky for the other humans. The idea of using a robot for sex was unusual, sure, but just because [[NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup there were just two of such humaniform robots]].
*** The person spoken to has zero problem with using a robot for sex, it's the "husband" part they didn't like. One could guess a DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything about gay marriage, except the story was written way before anyone thought that would ever be an issue. [[OrIsIt Or was it]]?
**** Well, considering it's stated later that no permission for marriage is given without the possibility of having children...
*** Asimov's robots are often his way of satirizing the racial politics of his time, and Gladia's adopted homeworld of Aurora has a decidedly Old South feel to it.
** This fear is not unjustified in-setting. In the short story "Satisfaction Guaranteed," set centuries before "The Robots of Dawn," a humaniform household robot becomes the object of attraction of the woman whose house he's placed in.
