What's of note in this media gossip item is that "15 have responded". If the reporter was filing for Boing Boing, one can assume he'd have a much higher total by now, as many of us have had romantic encounters with extraterrestrials, and it's really not a big deal around here. [romenesko]

  • jandrese

    I wonder how many of them were just screwing Mexican day laborers? 

    • dragonfrog

      Didn’t even say undocumented aliens – any immigrant at all would do.

      • oasisob1

        Yep. I’m eligible. I suppose my partner in this case is naturally counter-eligible.

    • drawboy

       Yep. I had sex with a Canadian.

      • teknocholer

        Well done! I’ve been trying to do that for years. And I am Canadian.

    You know – from this being a Huffington Post thing – that somehow this will get wrapped into a Mitt Romney feature.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      More likely that it will be paired with a slideshow of Nine Most Unintentionally Ironic Public Restrooms On Swiss Highways or Seven Common Foods That Help You Be More Assertive.

        When is someone (Boing Boing?) going to do a cool piece about TOP BLOGS THAT ARE ULTRA- BIASED IDIOTS FOR 3 YEARS, THEN WANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY DURING AN ELECTION YEAR

  • BettyWu

    Does John Scalzi know they’re ripping him off?  ”How I Proposed to My Wife: An Alien Sex Story” is a great short story…

  • Donald Petersen

    See, we’re just too classy to Probe & Tell around here.

  • Brainspore

    The last time I had one of those relationships it ended badly.

    • oasisob1

      Judging by the photo, it seems to have ended worse for the guy whose heart you broke.

      • Brainspore

        Hey, the prophylactics didn’t make any mention of acid-tolerance.

  • noah django

    I’ll always remember that hot summer night as they stepped out of the craft, the smell of ionized air and lilacs.

    The new album is good and all, but another effing Bowie piece?

    Is this confirmation that Miles O’Brien really is from space?

    • bcsizemo

      Well more like the 24th century.

  • mccrum

    I wouldn’t say that I had sex with them as much as I’d say they just had sex with me.

  • Gary61

    Will you rish? I cannot do it underwater.

    • forwardourmotto

      I’m disappointed in myself for not thinking of this reference on my own.

  • Chuck

    Wait — you mean that humans have sex with each other?

    I didn’t know that option was available.  I may have to give that a try.

    Although Veeyala might get a bit jealous, possibly even angry and betrayed.  If I understand her species’ emotions correctly.

      I didn’t know that option was available. I may have to give that a try.

      Finding one to agree to it is the hard part.

  • Halloween_Jack

    Does it count if you’ve had sex with a human? I’m not saying I did, I’m not saying I didn’t, but I’d had so much formaldehyde that night that I was completely sdirnxopsdrfed and who knows what happened.

      This may be as safe a space as you’re gonna find, I fear.

           So, how much DMT was involved?

          • Donald Petersen

            Hmm.  I missed that second comment.  I guess I’m never gonna find out what that was all about.

          • teapot

            Ha… he seems to have not appreciated my suggestion. His second comment was to the effect of:

            “thanks for your non-judgement of me, I assume you’ve had a similar experience yourself”

            Maybe Huffpo got in contact with him?

  • Don Ray Walton

    I had sex with a grey female Alien  once ,and it was a bit frightening at first but I got over it ,and went all the way with it ,as to prove that are race can accept them in peace.

  • dj_mofo

    I’ve had sex with Eileen… does that count?

    • Antinous / Moderator

      Come on! Eileen?

        You win the internet again.

      • Gary61

        Aliens Without Hats?

  • pjcamp

    “many of us have had romantic encounters with extraterrestrials”

    Is that the deal with all the bananas? Cory just wants to “go home?”

  • Al_Packer

    Heck, my first wife wasn’t even from this galaxy.   I think her home planet was the same one that Antonin Scalia hails from.

  • Drabula

    It’s funny how they don’t appear to be alien until after I’m finished.

  • Luther Blissett

    @Drabula: Whatever your “finish” is, it’s good not to become alienated afterwards. Oh, and for  the record: En ole koskaan harrastanut seksiä suomalainen henkilö. (Sorry for the grammar, I really don’t speak their language. It’s the best teh babelfish could provide, since it’s only linked to one of my brains, and the otherone had a Garleblaster only recently.)

    • kwhitefoot

      Well done!  Although it seems the Gargleblaster has affected your ability to spell.

  • Ian Scott Osborne

    Why don’t they ever ask an alien if they’d like to have sex with a human?  We’re in to bumpin’ blondie booty too.  

  • teapot

    Huffpo is a bottomless pit of new age/supernatural woo. Ignore anything they publish.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      Actually, they have a pretty good gay section since Michelangelo Signorile took it over. It used to be 27 articles about Kathy Griffin and three about Madonna. Embarrassing.

      • teapot

        Hm, it’s good to know they’re doing something right. Well Huffpo – keep that up and fire all the idiots writing anti-vax and pro-homeopathy articles.
