Off Limits: Tales of
Alien Sex edited by Ellen Datlow
St Martin's Press, 1997
ISBN: 0312140193, Hardcover
This collection borrows from many genres - it is
not really a gay collection (though some of the
stories have gay related themes), but it is not
really classic sci-fi either - there are few real
aliens and not a lot of real sex with them.
Instead the stories focus more on the alien
nature of sex between humans in its many forms.
