Now welcome back one of our favorite guests, Allie Ritch! Allie has brought — YES! — her new release, Alien Sex 104. And she’s giving away a copy so be sure and comment with YOUR EMAIL!! Here’s Allie with some Alien Sex Education.
Thank you so much for hosting me and my aliens again, Tara. I’m looking forward to telling everybody about my erotic sci-fi romance novel, Alien Sex 104, but I’ll have to wait until the end. It looks like Xindra and Quinn are ready to start:
The Alien Sex Ed instructors—Xindra and her husband, Quinn—enter the room.
Xindra: “Everybody, if I could have your attention please? Thank you. Tonight, instead of our usual Sex Ed class, we’re giving a special lecture to you Earthlings on Cedecian and Semhym sexuality. We have members from both races here to offer a more personal take on their anatomy and sexual interactions.”
Quinn: “Why don’t we start with you, Lexy? Class, Lexy is not only Cedecian; he also works as a sex therapist, so he has a unique perspective. What can you tell us about your race, Lexy?”
Lexy: “Cedecians are a bigender race. What this means is I change gender every month, switching from male to female to male and so on throughout the year. As you can see, I’m currently in the male stage of my cycle. While it’s possible for me to force my body to shift to female right now, it requires concentration and can be uncomfortable.”
Allie Ritch:(raises hand) “Do you mean painful?”
Lexy: “No, not painful, exactly. Just difficult and…ill-fitting. It’s hard to describe. The closer I am to my next shift, the easier it is to make the change, but part of me knows I’m not supposed to be the other gender yet. Of course, forcing the change to make love can be exciting. I feel like a man experiencing sex as a woman or a woman experiencing sex as a man.”
Xindra: “When Cedecians are together as a romantic couple, they fall into complementary cycles, only forcing the shift if they want to enjoy homosexual activities. They’re not only a bigender but a truly bisexual race.”
Lexy: “That can make it difficult when we pair up with alien partners. The other races are confined to a single gender, so if a Cedecian is in a closed, faithful relationship, he has to give up half the sex he’s attracted to.”
Allie Ritch:“Does this mean relationships between Cedecians and other alien races usually don’t work out?”
Lexy: (returns a warm smile) “They do if we find the right person. Love is the greatest safety net of all.”
Quinn: “Thank you for sharing with us, Lexy. Next, let’s talk to Glynn. Male Semhym sexuality can be problematic, both in terms of intercourse and fertility. Would you explain some of the difficulties?”
Glynn: “Men of my race have only a limited time in which we’re fertile. We hit a stage of decline in our mid forties and lose the ability to have children, although we can still have dry climaxes. We can’t ejaculate unless we find a female who is genetically compatible.”
Xindra: “Needless to say, Semhyms have a low birthrate and can have a high degree of sexual frustration. The latter can make the males come across as stern or unhappy.”
Glynn: (crosses his arms and scowls)
(Someone in the back snickers.)
Allie Ritch:“How do you know when you’ve found the right woman? How can you tell if you’re compatible?”
Glynn: (stops frowning) “If we feel a strong attraction for a woman, we sleep with her to see if we’re a match. Sometimes it takes more than one round of intercourse to be sure.”
Xindra: “If there aren’t any more questions, I think that about wraps it up. I’d like to thank the host of our lecture, Tara Lain, for allowing us to use this space tonight. Goodnight, everyone. I hope you all learned something new.”

I certainly did, but I admit I’m pouting. No offense to Xindra and Quinn, but I thought this lecture was going to be more hands-on. Did you get a good look at Lexy? I’d love to stroke those golden curls and rub my hands over his lean, hard body. Then again, I wouldn’t want to get between him and Huv. Those two have enough obstacles to overcome.
Alien Sex 104 is filled with love, angst, desire, a sexual identity crisis, a neon pink dildo, and some very naughty games. This is the conclusion to my Alien Sex Ed series, and I went all-out. Alien Sex 104 is the first novel I’ve written that contains m/m romance, though it’s only m/m part of the time. The romance between Lexy and Huv is both m/m and m/f depending on which gender Lexy is. Theirs isn’t a normal gay, heterosexual, or even bisexual relationship, but love doesn’t really care about labels. As for Glynn and Deina, Glynn wants a baby and Deina wants fun. Can he shake things up enough to convince her to settle down?
Blurb:
Huv has always liked the ladies, but he’s getting to the age when he’s ready for more than one-night stands. After meeting Lexy, he finds it very easy to fall for the sexy alien in her female form, but that’s only half the equation. Lexy is Cedecian. Every month, her race changes genders. Huv suffers a sexual identity crisis as he struggles to accept that the woman he loves may also be the man he loves. For an Allurian who is used to being strictly straight, it’s an adjustment Huv isn’t sure he can make.
Expecting Glynn to pop the question, Deina is shocked when he instead asks her to have his baby … or at least try. As a Semhym, Glynn must find a woman with just the right chemistry to help him spill his seed before it’s too late. He thinks Deina may be the one, but he wants to be sure. In order to win her over, he’ll have to gamble for the highest stakes of all: sex, love, and the rest of their lives.

Excerpt from Alien Sex 104:
Although he tried to shake it off, he felt awkward the whole ride to Lexy’s place. When they got inside, the tension only mounted until his heart pounded in his chest. You’d think he was a virgin sneaking into a popular girl’s bedroom, not a guy visiting his buddy’s house.
After locking up, Lexy turned to face him. “Do you want that drink now, or do you want to wait until later?”
Huv wasn’t sure if a drink would help ease him or just obliterate his already shaky control. Either way, he was bound to say or do something stupid if he didn’t get a grip. Better to play it safe.
“I’ll wait.” His voice came out as a dry rasp.
He was so busy trying to control his own reactions he didn’t catch Lexy’s until the man took a step that placed him an inch away.
“I hoped you’d say that.” Lexy spoke with a husky undertone that made Huv shiver. Then he kissed him.
Shock kept Huv in place for the first brush of Lexy’s lips, so much firmer and more direct than a woman’s. At least, Huv told himself it was shock. He didn’t know what excuse he had for softening his mouth a second later. A reflex maybe? All he knew was his head was spinning, and his groin felt tight and heavy like maybe his cock was thinking about sticking its head out. Then Lexy’s tongue probed the seam of his lips, and Huv didn’t know what the hell he was feeling. Jerking away, he backpedaled until he hit the wall.
“Whoa, I’m not … this isn’t…” Ah, gods. This couldn’t be happening to him.
“Not quite the reaction I expected.” Lexy’s tone was wry, but despite his own distress, Huv could hear the hurt behind it.
Raking his hand through his hair, Huv tugged hard as if the movement would straighten out his head. “Look, I think there’s been a miscommunication here. I’m really sorry if I misled you, but I’m not gay.”
“Okay.” Lexy sounded like he was humoring him.
“No, really. I like women. A lot.”
“I’m glad to hear it.” Lexy shot him an amused smile. “Strictly speaking, I’m not gay either, although I guess you could argue I’m half gay. I’m simply Cedecian.”
“You told me that,” Huv said, but he felt like he must have missed something.
Apparently Lexy figured that out, too. A frown formed in the middle of his smooth brow before tipping down the corners of his lips. “And you told me there isn’t much diversity on your home planet. You don’t know much about Cedecians, do you?”
“Not really.”
“Oh, boy.” Lexy winced. “Maybe you’d better sit down.”
Realizing he was cowering against the wall, Huv felt a flush of embarrassment. He accepted the seat Lexy offered him in the living room and settled across from him.
“I’ll get right to the point,” Lexy said. “Cedecians are a bi-gender race.”
Huv blinked. “Bi—”
“Gender. We shift back and forth between male and female, spending equal time as each.”
Stars above, he would have remembered hearing something like that. “Nifty trick.” He audibly swallowed. “Do you … uh … do that often?”
“Change sexes?” Although Lexy propped his ankle on his knee and leaned back casually, he kept bouncing his foot. “We can do it at will with a great deal of concentration, but it’s uncomfortable if the timing isn’t right. Right now, I’m at the male stage of my cycle. In a few days, I’ll transform to female. The only time we don’t have a choice in the matter is when we’re in our fertile period and have a permanent lover. Then we take whatever form complements them.”
“I see.” Actually, Huv felt like he was cross-eyed at the moment, but what could he say?
He almost flinched when Lexy came over and sat beside him on the sofa.
“Look, I can see you’re taken aback,” Lexy told him. “I don’t mean to push you, but I couldn’t help but notice you responded to my kiss. Well, at least until you remembered you were kissing a man.”
Oh, gods. Huv’s heart beat a wild tattoo. “But I’m not gay,” he repeated. “Or bisexual.”
Lexy patted his arm. “I have to ask, and this question isn’t as stupid as it might sound. Are you sure?”
“Of course, I … damn.” Huv scrubbed his palms over his face. He couldn’t deny he’d reacted to Lexy. Hadn’t he wondered the same thing?
“Have you ever tried a sexual interaction with a male?” Lexy’s tone was gentle.
“No … except … I mean I hadn’t, but…”
Lexy rubbed his arm. “It’s okay to tell me. I won’t use it to pressure you.”
Huv groaned. “At that class I modeled for. The students came up for a hands-on anatomy lesson, and I let them touch me. Most of the guys opted to just look, but this one Nimanian man took my cock in his hand. I didn’t even pay attention to what he looked like. It’s not that I was interested in him, but when he put his hand on me—”
“You enjoyed it?”
Shaking his head, Huv stared at his hands. “I don’t know. I just … don’t know. I’m thirty-six years old. Shouldn’t this have come up before now?”
Lexy responded with a small smile. “I’ll ignore the obvious pun and answer maybe. People can spend their whole lives exploring their sexuality. Maybe you’re ready to try a new avenue—one that’s part of your makeup but wasn’t something you were ready for as an adolescent. In case it isn’t obvious, I’d be happy to help you test the waters.”
Temptation, dark and forbidden, swirled inside him. “I don’t know if I can.”
“We could try another kiss.” Lexy slid his hand around to rub Huv’s back. “You seemed to like that until your inhibitions got in the way.”
Huv couldn’t believe he was even considering this, let alone about to do it, but he licked his lips. “Just a kiss?”
Lexy leaned closer. “Just a kiss. We’ll take it nice and slow.”
