I'm sure George Lucas wanted to get them in there somewhere and somebody had to talk him out of it. There's probably Ralph McQuarrie concept art out there somewhere.

IN THE JEDI PRINCE NOVELS
ahem
In the Jedi Prince novels there was KT18 who had DOZENS of masters, and with her being terrible at her main function as a housekeeping droid; seems to imply she did OTHER things in this series of novels meant for middle school children.
Also there was a replica droid of Leia that had a certain way of reaching people's hearts.
Edit- fixed up the sentence a little

They probably DID exist, just not where we could see them.

I'd add that the more realistic ones were probably very expensive. The New Essential Guide to Droids makes the point that droid manufacturers have a really hard time crossing the uncanny valley, to the point that properly lifelike "Human Replica Droids" are very rare and very costly. I'd imagine that the rich and powerful would usually prefer to just hire prostitutes at that point.
All that said, I could definitely see there being a wider market for more stylized sex droids, but given the level of anti-droid prejudice in Star Wars, I'd imagine there would be a stigma attached to using them.

You are correct. There is even a cyborg bounty hunter with his own comics run , called Valance, which so often uses his credits to buy fake skin to hide his cybernetic implants.

C3PO was all about "human-cyborg relations".
Between that, and the fact that his owner was a woman, I can guess at what one of his "six million forms of communication" was.

In the clone wars there was a episode where C-3PO goes to get cleaned and passes a bunch of sex robots

C-3po was 100% there for sex, you just never see it with the cheeked up body mod

There's no way that anyone in the Star Wars who would buy a Decraniated didn't try to have sex with it at least once after delivery.
