Early pulp covers indicate that aliens are very interested in having sex with human females, but in the classic story ”The Lovers” by Philip José Farmer it is the male protagonist who has sex with an alien insect. The three authors in this panel all have written stories where humans have sex with individuals of nonhuman species. Do the stories reflect attitudes towards miscegenation or zoophilia? What good examples are there where alien sexadds new aspects to a story?

Participants: Kij Johnson, Anders Fager, Ian Watson, and it is moderated by Cristina Macía.
