"Alien invasion is the oldest type of science fiction theme and stretches all the way back to the 3rd century BC, to the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, when the gods used the Vimanas in a war-of-the-gods While here in the western world, the alien invasion formed one of the first true science fiction novels, H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. I came up with this blogpost after watching a Duke Nukem Forever trailer, Battle: Los Angeles and Chris Rock's: How not to get your ass kicked by the police, I decided I wanted to take a humorous approach take on why aliens would invade Terra via the most common reason given in sci-fi works. This blogpost was the result. The idea of horny alien spacemen crossing lightyears to come to Terra and take our women for sex is laughable, at best. The truth is that any real EBE would so different due to their evolution on another world and that's world ecosystem that is unlikely that genitalia would even match up with ours to allow for sexually contact, let alone the DNA…and let us not forgot desire. For us or them to possess the desire to the other species, there would have to be a desire for that type of contact, and their idea of beauty may not be the same. While sci-fi may have its Orion Slave Women, the truth is that most alien races are not going to look like us, dousing the flames of interspecies passion. So, if it is so unthinkable to have aliens and humans mating, why is in common in science fiction? Sexually contact being different types of species appears twice in the Bible, once when the "sons of God came in unto the daughters of the earth" and their union created the Nephilim. Then during the God's judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, when the Angels came, the mob demanded that Lot turn over the Angels so that could "know them"…yeah, in response, God nuked the cities….so don't have sex with angels. This theme was common in pulp science fiction works of the 1950's and 60's, and one of my literature professors at university informed us that this was a fear by white men of the period that African-American men would take their white women. So, no one panic when ET shows up, they don't want Cindy Crawford…"

Spoken like a truly modern professor, lol! If it was anything of a psychological fear, it was of a creeping, insidious, stealth invasion of Communism. The prof must not have ever watched and studied Invasion of the Body Snatchers in a film class! |

I can imagine at least two scenarios where extraterrestrials will want us for sexual purposes: (1) The aliens change their shape to look like us for their own alien purposes -- to spy on us, to communicate with us, whatever. Adopting human bodies, however, leads inevitably to taking care of all of the needs of human bodies. (2) Aliens have abducted humans over time and have thus developed an extraterrestrial human population. When those humans come to Earth, they'll have the same thing on their minds that we all do. |
