The actual act of bestiality is not, in itself, illegal but for a few states; it comes under animal abuse and can be prosecuted as such.
Your basic animal (dog, cat, rabbit), has about as much conscious thought as your average 4 month old human baby. In other words-none. Choice is not something they can make. Once you make the decision to pursue intercourse with someone or something that can not make that same decision, you have become a sexual predator or sexual deviant and a likely criminal. And, if you can't find a human adult contact to share that choice, you're also pretty pathetic('you' being collective and not necessarily pointed at the OP).
To the question of human/android intercourse, it would be assumed that this android is programmed to receive/serve the duties ascribed and in fact, is quite close to being so with Real Dolls-manufactured to look and feel human for the sole purpose of sex.

I guess I kinda am arguing for the sake of argument. I do think its an interesting discussion though. I'm well into law school right now and I used to be a psych major so you can probably see why such interest would arise. Its fascinating because I think there really aren't that many clear-cut reasons for it to be illegal.
For instance, you would use an animal for sports, in which it is put through grueling physical challenges and reiterated painful punishment for the sake of mere amusement of the masses... but you draw the line when it comes to genitals? Is sports entertainment more of a primordial need than sex? Fucking a horse would certainly be less of a torture than making the poor thing burst its heart out running in circles while being constantly whipped to go faster. Remember that they don't have the mental conditions to be psychologically damaged by sex like we are.
Its a completely arbitrary line to abide by, but people still make it out to be just and reasonable.
As for the robot thing, I'm going to leave that for another thread as we'd take this one way off topic with it.
