Assuming that the cybernetic mate is capable of genuine consciousness and self-awareness, as most humans are, they would probably integrate into society and receive equivalent personal rights, thus preventing us from purchasing one as anything but a prostitute.
If these cybernetic mates are incapable of self-awareness and do not have their own distinct personality, I would be uninterested in maintaining such a one-sided relationship. If my partner can be programmed to my exact specifications, it's like using the cheat codes in a game, robbing myself of the intended experience and the enjoyment along the way.
I would need the ability to form a deep emotional bond with this hypothetical mate, otherwise, the relationship would be confined to physical pleasures, which isn't enough for me.
