You know, sometimes I wish I did a little more with my life instead of hanging out in front of places selling weed and shit. Like, maybe be an animal doctor. Why not me? I like seals and shit. Or maybe an astronaut. Yeah. Like, be the first motherfucker to see a new galaxy, or find a new alien lifeform... and fuck it. And people'd be like, "There he goes. Homeboy fucked a Martian once.

I'll bet they have advanced healthcare.
That alone would get you the volunteers.

Considering the behavior of hive organisms, what is the difference between a species forcing individuals to go with the aliens, and members of a species willingly going? From a biological perspective, what is the difference between individuals being exposed to fear hormones and being exposed to horny hormones, to an outside observer?
Do bees willingly die to protect their hive? Do humans have children out of a desire to see their species thrive?
....humans, amiright?
I mean id at least sign up. Who knows, I could be into it.
If not, hell, at least I'm off earth.
Yeah.
The odds feel at least even as a penniless immigrant in a space faring society, than as a citizen in one that no longer particularly seems to value truth or science.
Give em The Harkness Test
Someone needs to get this to Riker
Might want to add, "Does it consent?" to the end of that.
Does that mean there could be species which humans want to fuck, but which would not consider humans intelligent enough to give proper consent?
Either you're smart enough to understand the concept of consent or you aren't. Even if there is a sliding scale of intelligence of creatures (I have some issues with the concept of intelligence as a thing that can reasonably be objectively measured, but we can put that aside for now), whether you're intelligent enough to understand what you will be doing and what will be done to you and make an informed decision about whether you want to do it seems a pretty binary thing, and largely independent of your intelligence in other contexts (e.g. ability to use tools).
You could make the argument that alien sex might be complicated enough for whatever reason that that the aliens would argue that humans couldn't meaningfully understand everything that was being done to them and thus could not, by definition, give informed consent, but at least from my experience, humans seem pretty on board with things they don't fully understand. Whether it's ethical to fuck someone who has admitted that they don't know anything about what you're going to do to them, is aware they may be harmed by it, and wants to do it anyway is another question.
Besides, all we'd need is for one human to fuck one alien for science to know whether or not it was safe.

an extremely elegantly bite-sized HFY story
Personally I prefer to taste the pancakes rather than just smelling them, but I guess I'll take it.
I miss that sub
I always preferred the HASO variety.
I miss the pancakes.
Just blow them up while you can...they spread
you're next 🦁
About time, been waiting my whole life!
A few years later:
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations. And have sex with them.
“However, I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars?”
Interspecies Reviewers but sci-fi
Be honest, Riker wrote that plot didn't he?:-)
I guess you're not familiar with the exploits of Captain James T. Kirk?
Where do you think Riker got his playbook from? :-P
Kirk mostly used seduction as a tool; he fucked women because it was expedient. Riker did it just because he could.
Yeah it's made explicit with dialog in the show that the Enterprise itself is Kirk's primary obsession.
