  Three Laws of Robotic Sexuality - Definition, explanation
Three Laws of Robotic Sexuality (1982) is a novel by French writer Roland C. Wagner.
It parodies Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics by introducing a corresponding set of Laws which govern robots used for sexual gratification.

  Three Laws of Robotics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In science fiction, the Three Laws of Robotics are a set of three laws written by Isaac Asimov, which most robots appearing in his fiction have to obey.
SF scholar James Gunn writes, "The Asimov robot stories as a whole may respond best to an analysis on this basis: the ambiguity in the Three Laws and the ways in which Asimov played twenty-nine variations upon a theme" (the number is accurate for 1980).
Giskard Reventlov was the first robot to act according to the Zeroth Law, although it proved destructive to his positronic brain, as he was not certain as to whether his choice would turn out to be for the ultimate good of humanity or not.

Giskard Reventlov was the first robot to act according to the Zeroth Law, although it proved destructive to his positronic brain, as he violated the First Law.
The Laws of Robotics are portrayed as something akin to a human religion and referred to in the language of the Protestant Reformation, with the set of laws containing the Zeroth Law known as the "Giskardian Reformation" to the original "Calvinian Orthodoxy" of the Three Laws.
Where the laws are quoted verbatim (such as in the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century episode, "Shgorapchx!"), it is not uncommon for Asimov to be mentioned in the same dialogue.

 eReader.com: Excerpt from Isaac Asimov's Robot City 2
A robot is a robot and an organism is an organism.
Science fiction writers are generally chary of describing the robotic details too closely since they are not usually essential to the story and the writers are generally at a loss how to do so.
Indeed, if a robot were to be as complex as the robots in my most recent novels, the robot brain-computer must be every bit as complex as the human brain.

You’ll protest that genetically, identical twins or triplets are two or three of a kind, and that obviously there’s a lot more to an individual than his or her genes.
In my own humble words, the laws of a culture are, in theory and at least in part, made to reflect its morality.
If the numbers of abortions skyrocketed when it was legalized, that had as much to do with the change in sexual mores (which, in turn, had more to do with the Pill) and general mores (which became more self- and pleasure-oriented) as with the legalization of abortion.
