Human-Robot Intimate Relationships in QC
Kugai:
They may be out there, but unless Jeph ever gets to the point where he's willing and comfortable enough to deal with it, I doubt we'll ever see it in the Comic.
It's an interesting speculation though, and considering just how commonplace AnthroPC's are in the QCverse, I would be highly surprised if there were'nt such relatinships out there.

The fact that it was picked out/created by her father probably contributed as well.
We do know that AnthroPCs have a libido which can also "target" humans, at any rate ( http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1658 ). We also know that robots can be attracted to each other. ( http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=347 ). And well, I have talked to a couple or so of humans in my lifetime, and I am certain people are gonna try to get it on with AnthroPCs.
Oh, and I wanted to commend the OP for their expression regarding Claire. I was expecting worse when I came to this thread.
Is it cold in here?:
Just remembered that Jeph said once the standard companionship contract said something to the effect "nothing creepy". "Creepy" was undefined but probably bears on the subject of this thread.
OK, here it is, "be nice to each other, no creepy stuff":

Okay, but all that says is that companion AIs can't have naughty times with their companions. Hannelore can't hook up with Winslow, but Sven could bang Momo.

It hints that society, or at least whoever draws up companionship contracts, is not sex-positive about relationships across the carbon-silicon line.
