"Alien sex, is dangerous sex"

As I sit here, indulging in my love for both noodles and English comedic television, I am struck by the line as said by an educational recording (and mouthed along to by Teal) that really says everything. "Alien sex, is dangerous sex." What a wonderful piece of advice. If Doctor Who is anything to go by that advice is not the kind of advice the human race will ever adhere to. But as the rest of the episode of Hyperdrive tells us, fraternising with sentient beings of other planets leads to unwanted marriages and ludicrous escape plans. Now, this is going to go somewhere, where that is I don't actually know right at this point.

This line resonated with me. The educational recording ended on that wonderful line after talking briefly of there being more than two arms and or the presence of tentacles to stop and think about the actions one is ab out to make. How else would one know to not have sexual relations with another not of ones own species I do not know. The advice one can get from humorous tv shows is marvelous. It informs us of both our promising highs and our degrading lows. All for our amusement. Our wonderful, laugh out loud amusement. Set in another reality, another time, and with fantastical peoples, beasts and robots, we can laugh our asses off at idiotic people in idiotic situations. Also there is pretty colours and silly noises as well.

But back onto the original point of this, "Alien sex. is dangerous sex." How one can find this useful in everyday life can be seen in a myriad of ways. First, in this galactic age, you have to be aware of the damage you can do to your self esteem if you choose to inhabit the same sleeping place as a martian. I mean really, naming the new Mars rover Curiosity is like a announcing that we as humans are a bunch of oversexed and over easy college girls. Sure, we are intelligent, but we are also curious, this can only lead to a human leaving the habitation quarters of an alien life form feeling sad and full of self loathing.

Second, physical injury. You would think that this would be the first issue arising from Alien sex but since humans are a sadistic bunch I feel it is best relegated in second place to feelings of loathing and shame. Who knows what kind of bodily fluids Aliens could have and what affects they would have on the human system. Well I certainly don't know and because I choose to adhere to the brilliant advice of the HMS Camdon Locke's education video I won't find out.

Well, rambling is a wonderful thing. If you can understand any of what I just wrote please feel free to tell me and translate.

Love you all,
Milly
