Alien Dimensions #12
Short Stories
Antlions by Elana Gomel. First contact with some unusual aliens. They get jealous when a human man gets too friendly with one of their females.
The Exchange by Neil Hogan. The main character is a woman whose job is first contact with aliens — by having sex with them. Part of her training to do this was having sex with a dolphin. Her latest assignment is a species covered in spines like a sea urchin. Did I somehow get hold of a themed human-alien sex issue of this magazine?
Hues of Living Green by Russell Hemmell. This story didn’t have any overt interspecies sex, but I think there were some hints.
Home is Where Your Hearts Are by Danielle Davis. A blob-like alien crash-lands on Earth, and is horrified because Earth is a preserve for humans, and there are severe penalties for trespassing there. The blob takes the form of a sheep to stay hidden. Since the story takes place on a sheep farm, I refuse to even consider whether there was sexual innuendo in this one.
Touch by Nicky Martin. A mad scientist thrills the world with his artificial organs and skin grafts, but he has a sinister plan … I mean, a sinister plan besides probably having sexual attraction to some gobs of his artificial skin. At least the sexual weirdness served a purpose in this case, making the scientist even creepier than his sinister plan already made him.
Old World Problems by Eddie Moore. Aliens complicate a PI’s investigation into a cheating spouse. In a refreshing twist, all the sexual innuendo was between humans in this one.
Found on Proxima B by Priya Sridhar. At first, I thought this was a story about a four-year-old girl pretending to pilot a shuttle, but it turned out to be about a twelve-year-old girl flying a shuttle to save her friend. It doesn’t seem like that plot leaves much room for sex references, but I’d have to re-read the story to be sure.
