Why this must be read:
Because it’s called Species Diversity and You: A Sexual Safety Presentation, and the characters are Jane, the Species Diversity Panda and Sfonn, the Sexual Safety Le'matya? I mean, really? Does anything more need to be said? Just read it and laugh then share with your friends, so that maybe someone out there will animate this for us.
Now, I don't need to tell you that while it is the most common arrangement in the Alpha Quadrant, not every species comes in binary male and female sexes, do I? The Vissians, for example, have three sexes, while the Tholians have one. Some species have as many as six! Even male and female isn't always that simple. Our Andorian members have two different kinds of males and two different kinds of females, and it takes all four to make the next generation. I'm sure you learned this in biology class.
But what you might not know is that your body might not interact with your alien friends in the expected way for your species and gender!
This is why simple sexual safety precautions are required.
Exactly, Sfonn! Why, you might enjoy a cultural exchange with a handsome young being and never know that he belonged to the receptive sex of his species. A Terran female might not expect to leave a pregnant partner behind her!
That would be most foolish.
It sure would, Sfonn. Why, you might not even know you were engaging in a reproductive act. It might even look like having a cup of tea, shaking hands or an intriguing telepathic connection!
Here are some key phrases to look out for:
- Communing
- Becoming one
- Sharing essences
and, of course
- Fertility worship
