I hope it's ok to ask this. I always figured no since they are made in factories and don't need to reproduce. Also, they usually don't have any emotions so I assume they can't feel sexual desire.

While their old trait was called 'Emotionless,' it only really applied a pretty mild penalty to some social intelligence skills - I wouldn't necessarily say they don't have emotions.
Personally, I would assume they can - they're shaped like humans everywhere else - but I'm not certain they could reproduce. It would be something I'd defer to my table over.

They have a tendency to have less emotions, but not a compete absence. Even Data in star trek, who had no emotions and no need to reproduce was still "fully functional".
Androids are a clear attempt to create a lifeform that closely resembles human life. They have skin and names and cells and blood and organs (made of nanotechnology, but still essentially those things). The people who have them could have much more easily made them be conventional robots with tracks and clanking gears, but they chose to make them as human as possible.
This would lead me to assume they are fully functional as that helps them to better resemble humans and to better simulate human behaviour, and participate in human society.

They can according to their ecology article in the Iron Gods AP.
Though they have secondary sexual characteristics and can engage in and enjoy intercourse, androids have no functional reproductive organs and cannot procreate.

Yes, they can.
Further details are best left to an individual game table's comfort level in the topic though.
THAT SAID: As the person who pushed for androids in the setting and who did the initial design for them, the primary source of inspiration for me were the various androids from Ridley Scott movies—particularly Alien and Blade Runner. But the recent Ridley Scott HBO show "Raised by Wolves" has some pretty compelling inspiration for folks who want to explore this topic more in their games, I suppose. It's not a topic or theme that we will or can or should explore in Pathfinder or Starfinder, though.

Even in 1st edition when androids were completely immune to all emotion-based effects (somewhat ironically because of their Constructed trait, not their Emotionless trait) it was my headcanon that they are not literally emotionless, and it appears the evidence supports my interpretation.
Rather, how I view androids is that they are capable of experiencing the full normal range of emotions, but their ability to feel or detect their own emotional state is so muted that they may not even realize and almost never express those emotions, except in an understated sort of way.
Fans of Star Trek may relate this back to Spock--said to be emotionless but more like emotionally muted. Aside from that, I actually based this headcanon on a real phenomenon in neurodivergence where people have trouble recognising and identifying their emotions.
It seems clear that there is nothing preventing them. Even if they couldn't feel sexual desire (unconfirmed & unlikely), that would only make them asexual. Plenty of asexual humans can lead fulfilling sex lives with their partners if they choose and are not actively sex-repulsed.
Word of God says Yes. of course, how one views androids depends on the source material. Right now Nier:Automata is popular so having androids deciding to go without the specific parts is possible or just head to the factory for some additional parts.
To be fair, 'just head to the factory' is rather hard for androids in pathfinder.
but they can be targeted by all the change gender magic (potions, curses, rituals (?), supernatural phenomena) like all others.
So androids in pathfinder are sitting in the same boat as everybody else
