Some 15 percent of 1,800 males surveyed by Sky News said they could see themselves having a ''fulfilling, emotional relationship'' with an android.

However, only two percent of women would be up for a romp with a mechanical machine.

Sex expert Dr Helen Driscoll believes robot sex could soon ''mimic and even improve'' human intercourse.

She said: ''It is conceivable that some will choose this in preference to sex with a less than perfect human being.''
