housecleaning ?
must be a lot of female responses
sex slavey is what robots are REALLY being designed for !
I chose chauffeur because I can't drive and a chauffeur would enable me to be more mobile without the need to learn to drive :D
Housecleaning would be the second choice. Cooking I enjoy, paying bills can be done without a robot and a bodyguard is useless to me.
For 'other' I considered that I might like a robot that could shop for me (but supermarkets do home delivery), I might like a robot that could do tedious paperwork for me (but online services are more likely to achieve that sooner) and I might want a robot that could entertain me (but I'm not really that bored).
As for the remaining option it seems to me that a sexual relationship would only be meaningful with a highly intelligent, emotive and caring robot. In that instance, making it a sexual slave would be profoundly immoral.

Not all of us guys need artificial sexual companions, Mr. Lonely. Having a sex slave robot is slightly less shameful than owning a blow up Pamela Anderson/Antonio Banderas doll.
I agree Edward.
It would be neat if the robot could be the actual transportation, an autonomous exosuit/mech like in anime. If it could hover above surface and come pick you up at your position - sounds better than any sexual fantasy i can think of.
