Probably the most extensive discussion of alien sex can be found in the book,
"Alien Sex," edited by Ellen Datlow, published by Dutton in 1990 (ISBN:
0-525-2 4863-3). The 19 stories range from 1968 to 1990.

Re: Alien Sex

Perhaps the person who posted the original query about "alien sex" was
referring to the anthology by Helen Datlow by the same title which features
recent f and sf writers on the subject not only of interspecial sexuality
but "transgressive" sexuality-- as well as fabulistic stories about sex and
desire.

For those Humanists interesting in sex with Humanoids, see:
Moshe Idel, Golem -- Jewish Magical and Mystical Traditions on the
Artificial Anthropoid (SUNY series in Judaica, 1990), especially Chapter
15 "Golem and Sex", pp. 232-241.

I am wondering if the Golem Legend could be considered an early
manifestation of what we now call "Science Fiction".

I'm afraid that my copy of Charles Young's posting on "Alien Sex" on
Feb. 21 has become corrupted. Could I ask that someone repost the
term coined by Larry Niven for "sex outside of one's species"; and
perhaps explain the etymology of the term.
