Aliens Shmaliens - ...why not ask THE question??

Palomar · 2004-07-15 09:56:32

*Recently in this folder we've had threads created asking what we think aliens might look like; if we might be able to eat alien lifeforms; what aliens might think of the way we look; what you'd ask an alien, etc.

Here's my question: What are the chances procreation between humanoid species of different worlds is possible, ala Mr. Spock of Star Trek? ???

Will there some day be an Amanda and a Sarek?

Chances for procreation? Nil.
Chaces for sex... depends.

Kirk seemed to be interested mianly in the latter. :laugh:

Apparently the "Prime Directive" didn't apply to conjugal visits... "No my green-skinned baby, this is in the interest of Science, I assure you..."

If an alien species is even physically close enough that you'd want to make the attempt we'd have many questions needing answering.

Like if "marriage" means between two sentient people, or just a human-man and a human-woman.

Are we the reproductive system of the Earth?

I once saw Carl Sagan in a particularly dismissive mood, referring to humans in hollywood movies and T.V. shows mating with aliens.
He said a human would have a much better chance of mating successfully with a petunia than an alien from outer space!

Call me old fashion, but I think I will stick with one human female - my wife.

But if I wasn't married, TPol]http://www.trek5.com/images/wallpaper/tpol03/tpol03.jpg]T'Pol could tempt me to convert to a Vulcan

*Oh brother! lol...

I should read more Sagan. I've got 2 of his books waiting on the closet shelf...

I suppose you could clumsily sue-hank together the "genomes" of two different extra-terrestial species, but you would probably end up with a ugly, confused and very depressed character from a Douglas Adams book.

An "fraternal" relations between aliens will most likely be limited to "I will touch your pleasure parts if you touch mine". That I see nothing wrong with. I actually foresee an entire industry devoted to video-taping this art. I'm pretty sure right now that, if I bothered, I could look up "alien fetish" on google and I would get something already.

I'm trying to imagine the Crab People of the Pevor nebula, the ones with those huge fangs, and giant mandible claws touching pleasure spots... :laugh:

How do porcupines have sex?

Very, very carefuly.

Through its profile of Mercury de Sade, a computer programmer obsessed with the erotic potential of alien life, Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish introduces a new perversion into the lexicon of sexual pathologies: exophilia, an abnormal attraction for beings from worlds beyond earth.
Unlike other fetishes, whose objects may be difficult but not impossible to obtain, exophilia is a sexual desire for something that is literally not to be found on earth. The necrophile can rob a cemetery, the foot fetishist can steal shoes, but where is an alien sex fiend to find the objects of his desire? A basic inability to satisfy his fetish inspires sadism in Mercury de Sade, and though obsessed with extraterrestrials he is thus compelled to victimize a series of "ninfas" or young girls...
But can a human, however alluring, ever compensate for the fantastic sexuality to be expected of extraterrestrials? If aliens are more intelligent than man, then might they — must they — not be more sexually advanced than man too?
Written in a style that ranges from documentary to satire, Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish draws a portrait of sexual obsession through interrelated series of short texts — pornographic visions, narrative fragments, philosophical speculations, diary excerpts, parables, parodies, syllogisms, snippets of computer code — which may be read either in sequence or in various collage-like patterns.

Shoot. We already knew this. Every MIB fan knows that supermarket tabloids are the best investigative reporting on the planet. :sleep:
