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}} 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.
