Interspecies Relationship: Would you do it?

[Kage Kisaragi]

In just about every form of science fiction the inevitable cross-species happens. Yet how likely are these romances to work out? Shows like Star Trek would have us believe that the majority of the alien races out there can crossbreed between species, resulting in a half and half. While universes like Mass Effect shows us that do to differences in biology crossbreeding between species is generally impossible, save for one unique exception when it comes to the Asari.

My question is does the idea of whether or not children are possible decide if a particular inter-species relationship is acceptable?

Would you consider such a thing?

What about the difference in physical appearance? Using the Universe of Mass Effect as a example of extremely different physical appearances. You have the option of romancing a Turian partner or a Drell one if you control a female shepard. Do you think you could commit to a relationship where your spouse was a member of one of those two races?

Three words:

Alien venereal diseases.


I ain't risking that, let alone whatever their anatomy might be like. Too many unknowns, but I wouldn't want Klingon Herpes, I'm betting.

I'd do it in a heartbeat, if I die because of it, at least I go out happy.

Also, I wouldn't just do it willy nilly, there has to be a level aesthetic pleasure to it.

[Jabare]

Not if I was the first one form my species. And no to turians or drell they just don't look attractive.


Personally I don't think creatures were meant to procreate outside of their genus. You can love something outside Biological classification/tree but I don't see you being able to procreate.


If overtime we learned our species were compatible in such away and there was no risk involved and I found the alien attractive than maybe.

[Romero]

No way man. The Bible said it was "Adam and Eve," not Adam and some Ferengi chick!

(Although, actually, for 7 of 9, then hell yeah!)

[Dreadstar]

I brake for Wookies.

[Motormouse]

If it looked elf like, yes, Skarren or Xenomorph type, hell no. It would be about looks first, but then againwhat ever tahnee welsh did to steve guttenberg in Cocoon or the ear thing that Zaahn from farscape look lime things i'd really like to try once or twice. I would NOT shag a klingon!

[Pro]

Most species have barbed peens.

Just sayin'.

Less venereal diseases, more being allergic to alien body fluids. Which was brought up in Mass Effect 2. It's theoretically a real thing, and why you don't want to have sex with a dog.

Or going back to the pilot of Babylon 5, the space hooker may look pretty, but they tear off their mates' heads after sex and lay eggs in the neck.

[rob fleming]

let all the desperate people try it out first, if nothing bad happens maybe i'd give it a shot. But not with anything that's too inhuman maybe just different coloured skin or horns or something. otherwise you may as well go fuck a kimodo dragon, y'know if she's up for it.

[Mr. Rice]

We'd have to be in love, so there's a certain degree of sentience the alien would need...
