During aimless linksurfing I stumbled upon the Wikipedia article Homosexuality in speculative fiction, and was intrigued by a paragraph in it.Of course, I had to share it with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dresta11. Um,and now with my unsuspecting f-list (note: I did translate part of the convo from Estonian to English).
Calime a.k.a. Piuksuv Urson - elu on trifiid: Proto-SF
True History by the Greek writer Lucian (A.D. 120–185) has been called the earliest surviving example of science fiction[20][21] and the first ever "gay science fiction story".[22] The narrator is suddenly enveloped by a typhoon and swept up to the moon, which is inhabited by a society of men that are at war with the sun. After the hero distinguishes himself in combat, the king gives him his son the prince in marriage. The all male society reproduces (male children only) by giving birth from the thigh or by growing a child from a plant produced by planting the left testicle in the moon's soil.[23]
Calime a.k.a. Piuksuv Urson - elu on trifiid: wonder if they had to cut off that left nut, or did they just spend the period of pregnancy stuck in ground, testicle-wise?
Jessikas- umop ap!sdn: dunno,maybe it dropped off by itself
Calime: hmmm
Jessikas: like seed
Calime: after especially passionate sex?
Calime : maybe
Calime : even logical
Calime : how did they choose which partners' testicle dropped?
Calime : good idea though, zero population growth
Calime: no overpopulating the moon
Calime: one left nut per person
Jessikas: yup
Jessikas: but maybe they grew a replacement?
Calime: dammit, yes, who knows
Calime : now I'd like to read the source
Jessikas: new testicle just pushed the old one out while growing
Calime: after the source, one could fanfic all different scenarios
Calime: and in case the old testicle happened to be pushed INwards, then it came to that giving birth from the thigh, yes?
Jessikas: yup
Jessikas: like a huge, painful abscess
Jessikas: yuck
Calime: I feel the sudden need to write mpreg in all my fandoms using this freshly gained knowledge
Jessikas: *snicker*
Well, yes, it is possible that in addition of having a weird brain (which is not unusual here, is it, my fellow fen?) I also tend to get fascinated by potential wacky biological details. Might go with the RL job mindset *grin*.
