Line 44:
** Also used as birth control since the various species are no longer closely enough related to produce children.
* John Carter and the titular character of [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]'s ''[[John Carter of Mars|A Princess of Mars]]''.
** Of course the Martians are divided into monstrous four-armed Green Martians and heavily-tanned-human{{verify}}<!-- The "heavily-tanned" part. And remember that Covers Always Lie. --> Red Martians. Guess which one the Princess is! (Although she does still ''lay eggs'', raising some unanswered biological questions...)
* Inverted in Octavia Butler's ''[[Xenogenesis]]'' series, where it's [[wikipedia:Oankali|the aliens]] that want to crossbreed with the humans and every other race they come across. Given that they're all passive-aggressive tentacle-covered anemone-like things, this takes some work.
* James Tiptree, Jr's story, ''And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill's Side'' - albeit with rather [[Squick|unfortunate]] [[Unfortunate Implications|implications]] as to the eventual fate of the humans involved.
Line 57:
* In [[L. Sprague de Camp|L Sprague De Camp]]'s ''The Hostage of Zir'', one of the characters comments that [[The Bible]] forbids fornication, sex with a human you're not married to, and bestiality, sex with a dumb animal. But it says not a word about fun with a [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]] on the planet Zarathustra.
* Played with in [[Alan Dean Foster]]'s ''[[Humanx Commonwealth]]'' series, novel ''Bloodhype'', in which the [[Really Gets Around|rather promiscuous]] Kitten Kai-Sung has some fun [[squick]]ing out her companions by describing in some detail the ways to accomplish this with various sentient species.
* In [[Mike Resnick]]'s ''The Outpost'', [[Magnificent Bastard]] Hurricane Smith, one of the galaxy's top bounty hunters, has this trope has his main passion in life. He's already had five ex/late-wives, all different alien species, as he finds human women to "all look the same". After he and his fellow bounty hunters help save the galactic human Democracy from a genocidal alien invasion, he is last seen in romantic pursuit of a ''sentient spaceship'' (with female A.I.), as he rebounds from the death-in-battle of his last wife, an insectoid shapeshifter.

Line 65:
* As did Scott Adams in ''The [[Dilbert]] Future''. See [[Boldly Coming/Quotes|the Quotes page]].
* It's established on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' that by Capt. Jack Harkness' time (the 51st century) [[Fetish Fuel Future|this is humanity's attitude]] to space exploration. Of course, they're also [[Everyone Is Bi|more flexible]] about the [[Free-Love Future|genders involved.]]
* The 2000s version of ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'':
** It has this in the series finale. Upon finding {{spoiler|[[Human Aliens|human natives]] on the planet Kara led them to}}, the first thing Gaius Baltar talks about is their genetic compatibility with the Colonials. Adama does not let this go without a [[Lampshade Hanging]] at Baltar's expense.
** Speaking of ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', are there any characters on that show that ''didn't'' boldly come? {{spoiler|Gaius did anything with a vagina and a pulse, Chief Tyrol married Callie, Helo nailed Boomer, the guy that Starbuck married eventually turned out to be a Cylon, Tigh's wife was sometimes accused of being a slut... hell, even Admiral Cain (!) got some robot [[Girls Love]] in ''Razor''}}.
Line 113:
* ''[[Destroy All Humans!]]'':
** In the backstory, the [[The Greys|Furons]] arrived on Earth thousands of years ago and did this with the humans, to the point where nowadays, every human being on Earth has some Furon DNA. Later, the Furons return to Earth to harvest the pure, uncontaminated DNA from the humans in order to save their species from radiation-induced sterility.
** Crypto also does this with [[
* ''[[The Sims 2]]'':
** Male Sims (and likewise female Sims) can [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?|woohoo]] with aliens of either sex in their neighborhoods or homes.
** Also, if an adult male Sim gets abducted while looking into the expensive telescope, he comes back traumatized and [[Mister Seahorse|pregnant]]. (Female Sims may come back traumatized, but almost never pregnant. Usually to get a female Sim to have an alien baby, she either has to woohoo with a male alien in her neighborhood (or home if he lives with/is married to her), or visit the Tombstone of Life and Death and choose " make me alien pregnant" from the pie menu.)
* This applies to pretty much every main character in ''[[Subverse]]'', as they are all of different species.
** Special mention goes out to Dr. Lily, who has to invent new species to sate her lust
