Xenophilia?

[Rubberanvil]

Would being attracted to an alien species that does not look human in appearance be tantamount to beastiality?

Whether it's a dog, a raptor or a xenomorph, they all do it doggy style.

Then there's that whole ST6 quote:

Not all specis have their genitalia in the same place as humans

I mean what if their pussy was in their forehead of something?

Knew meaning to 'giving head'?

[Symmetry]

Not really. It would probably be considered a type of sexual devience, like SM, but aliens are capable of giving consent or saying no, unlike a poor sheep.

Well, for one thing, it'd mean they'd have a hell of a time trying to get a job as a news anchor or kid's TV show host.

But I do beleive bestiality only really involves non-sentient life. If they're able to properly give consent, then it'd be xenophillia (and on, don't give me the workaround that your dog might consentually boink you, you pervs. ).

...none of this applies to catgirls, right? Right?

[Lord of the Farce]

...none of this applies to catgirls, right? Right?

The truth about cat-girls...

[Stormbringer]

...none of this applies to catgirls, right? Right?

Falling under elves, fairies and the like. Human with a few extra bits and peices.

[Rubberanvil]

...none of this applies to catgirls, right? Right?

Unless they're the real furry anthropomorphic style (legs, breasts, head shape and the works), otherwise they're just like what Stormbringer said.

[The Yosemite Bear]

Let's not forget Deepones, Ghula and Tentecled things.

Although the Arabian Night's Ghouls do look like humans they just have really sharp teeth and toungs that make Gene Simmons look tiny compared too.

[Peregrin Toker]

The surface difference is pretty much limited to the ears, and unless you have a fetish for pointed ears, you're pretty much still attracted to what a human looks like.

There's also the fact that elves usually are thinner than humans for some reason (maybe they have a slightly different metabolism) and in some cases taller (eg. the elves of Warhammer) and the elves presented in D&D have a rather non-human visage - their faces are generally narrower and have other features distinguishing them from humans than the pointy ears.

It depends on which universe you get elves from.

Well, the wargame that got me into fantasy gaming was Warhammer Fantasy Battle - and the elves of WFB vary from illustrator to illustrator. Most of the times they look like humans with pointy ears, but on average they are taller and lankier. Other WFB elves almost resemble unholy crossbreeds between Vulcans and Stereotypical Grey aliens.

(Avatar's note: The Prime Minister of Kamino takes no responsibility for the failed Krossbreed Klone Projekt nor the results.)

As for D&D elves - those depicted in the Player's Handbook do not look that human.

BTW - aren't Discworld elves actually supposed to be "Grey"-type aliens taking quasi-human form?

[SirNitram]

Yes; Discworld Elves bear a terrifying resemblence to Grey's when their Glamour fades. At least, the ones in Lords and Ladies did.

[The Yosemite Bear]

Wht about Egyptian Myth?

you know those perfect human bodies with that beastile head theme.

I'm undecided, sure Bast has great tits and everything else, it's just that cat head that throws me off, simular oppinons about the rest of the pantheon....

Or shudder Devi when she get's into her pissed off warlike form of Kali...

[Peregrin Toker]

Actually - I've never read "Lords and Ladies" although I've read a couple of other Discworld books. Exactly does Pratchett describe a Glamourless elf? And how obvious does he make it that they are in fact Greys taking quasihuman form?

Triangular face, nonexistant nose, giant, empty eyes, small mouth, large head, tiny body.

And what do they look like during "Glamour"??

[Tsyroc]

Besides, an elf is just a human with funny ears in terms of looks. Now if you look at the xenomorph from Alien and think "Penis goes there!" you have problems.

Pfft don't knock hot alien queens.

Sure this one spits acid and insert strange things into ya, but what relationship doesn't have it's little pitfalls and foibles?

Yeah, but boy can they deapthroat.

It's that extenable set of inner jaws. It just goes in and out, back and forth...

[Tsyroc]

At first glance I thought this thread was about Xenaphilia

Whatever they want to look like. Normally, the traditional 'impossibly beautiful' elf with pointed ears.

[Sriad]

Not if the two (or more) of you can communicate.

And I feel I should point out that Aliens and humans are entirely capable of producing viable offspring...

In other words - Pratchett's elves are just Stereotypical Grey Aliens with the ability to shapeshift??

BTW - I haven't read more than one or two Discworld books but given Pratchett's habit of turning clichés upside-down with humorous results, I'd like to know whether Discworldian Elves have the desire to infiltrate humanity with hybrids between humans and their own kind (a trait often attributed to Stereotypical Grey Aliens by paranoid conspiracy theorists) and a tendency to abduct innocents to torture them... and how often are they seen in their glamourless state?? I bet they do the very best to hide the fact that they are hideous, noseless abominations rather than pointy-eared, extraordinarily handsome versions of us.

There is exactly one shot of an Elf in a glamourless form, and that's right at the end, when they're nearly defeated. The Elves have mated with humans, though apparently just to toy with us mortals, as there are some half-breeds knocking about the Disc. It's closer to the old legends of hte Elves, though(Though I still firmly believe that Grey's are derived from the Sidhe).

What do Discworld half-elves look like, then?? Are they repulsive, abhorrent hybrids with half-shapen noses, miscoloured skin, soulless dark eyes near-atrophied musculature and disproportionately-sized heads, or do they look like the half-elves of other fantasy universes?

BTW - I have read some more about Discworld Elves... and from what I've gathered, they are a dead ringer for the Druchii of Warhammer Fantasy Battle - a faction of renegade High Elves who were exiled to northern wastelands after losing a civil war and have grown surlier and more hate-filled ever since. And since that civil war was 6000 years ago, the Druchii have become some of the most militaristic and arrogant creatures in the Warhammer World.

The Druchii are sometimes referred to as "Dark Elves" because they prefer dark clothing as opposed by the white robes worn by High Elves as well as the fact that most of them have brown or black hair. (explained by the fact that most Druchii belong to a particular Elven ethnic group known as the Nagarythi) However - never, EVER refer to a Druchii as a "Dark Elf" to his/her face. The next day you'll probably be found impaled upon a drannach.

It's not mentioned, but it's implied they look more like half-elves or elves of most fantasy. They are usually mistaken for the real thing, as full elves can only enter during what's called 'circle time'(Their appearance is only possible when the many universes come together and openings start popping up... In the form of crop circles. If a crop circle lands in a particular spot, they can cross over.).

Gates between universes being represented by crop circles? So very Pratchett.
