Vulpan Sexuality Research
Vulpan Sexuality and It's Implications to Humankind
Explanation and study into the cultural and religious facets of sexuality amongst the species deemed "Vulpan"
and it's effects on human interaction with them.
(----Study conducted by the Human Commonwealth Cultural Branch (HCCB) officer of cultural diversity, Allen Wright. February 12th, 2134----)
This documentation is the result of an intense and lengthy report that I was tasked with investigating some while ago. While the topic of the study is sexuality amongst the vulpan species, it is important to not that I have also included other documentation into their culture that seemed appropriate. Another very important idea that one must take when examining the sexuality of another species is that of tolerance and open-mindedness, as the steriotypes of a vulpan are blown far out of proportion, as I descovered, it is important to note that this report must be read after discarding any previous notions about them. The project was a massive undertaking and dealt with a touchy subject amongst our kind, though there was no problems in communication or in intentions by the vulpans. Tiem after time they seemed more than happy to help. With that being said I shall begin my lengthy report.
It is hard to find a good place to start, so I will begin with the anatomy af the vulpan genitalia and the differences that it has compared to ours. The vulpan male posseses a penis that is attached to the bottom of the trunk between the legs, like in humans. Unlike humans, though, the vulpan male posesses a sheath, that is, a thin fold of skin that covers the base of the penis when not erect. This sheath is designed to protect against parasites, disease, and physical trauma. It also prevents the penis from making too much movement when the male partakes in highly stressful actions, such as sports, combat, etc. When a male is born, the penis is almost entirely covered by it, save the foreskin, though as he grows and develops, the sheath grows at a slower rate than the penis itself. He is almost fully covered by the sheath when relaxed with only the forskin showing. As a vulpan is aroused sexually the penis becomes erect, and simply grows out of the sheath and extends. The penis itself is similar to a human males, save a few differences: 1) it does not take on a tapered form that ours would. The body of the penis is as wide at it's end (foreskin aside) as it's connection to the males body. It is, for lack of a better word, more aesthetic and even. 2) they are slightly longer on average in comparison to the body. The average vulpan male will measure slightly longer than the average male human, by about 1 centimeter or less. In addition, the penis is often larger in diameter by a smaller margin.
The female genitals are similar to the human female's. The opening of the vagina is slightly longer, as it extends further from the bottom underneath the legs. This is an evoulutionary change that allows for a female to be penetrated much more easily from the rear by a male. With this one exception, there is one other interesting trait that the female posseses: an internal physical adaptation of a female's interior of the vagina and cervix to naturally tighten up over time. This meansa that the pleasure obtained in a physical aspect does not decrease with use for either the male of the female. This trait is one of the reasons that vulpan sexuality is portrayed as rampant and vulpan females called loose when the exact opposite is more likely. This natural tightening gives males an extremely pleasureable sensation, as a female feels like she hasn't been penetrated yet and is like a virgin. Human females tend to have the tendency to stretch out over time, though this tendency is very minimal, the differences in satisfaction for the male are noticeable, according to males who have mated with both. There are no other differences from the vulpan female's genitalia and our own female's other than vulpans do not have a menstual cycle that cleans the uterus every month. The vulpan female is always receptive in her body and mind, though it is much harder to impregnate a vulpan than a human.
Also it is apparent that hair on the vulpan body is spread out in an efficient manner. Vulpans are covered in a short fur that is soft and durable. There are a few places that are not furry at all and appear "naked", showing the pimkish skin underneath. These places are the penis, for the male, the area around the vaginal opening for the female, the underside of the hands and feet, and the nipples. The lack of hair on the genitals is to avoid infection during sexual activity between mates as well as provide a more sensitive area to operate with. In other words, they feel better in these areas. Hairless nipples function to give vulpan pups more comfort and ease in feeding, and the hands and feet the padded surface needed for grasping or traction, though their claws are retractable for this purpose.
Vulan appearance can differ, much like a human's. In the same way that we have black, white, and other races. The vulpans differ mainly in fur tones and patterns, though the main theme is always apparent: stripes or spots along the arms, shoulders, and part of the legs. Some vulpans may have tufts of hair around their necks or their upper torso, depending on their genes inherited from their parents. These extra tufts of hair are purely cosmetic, and have no bearing upon virility in their society. It makes it much easier for humans to tell them apart, as vulpans use their extremely keen sense of smell, as well as sight to identify each other. Practically every vulpan is in possesion of pinkish hued skin under the fur that is like a caucasian human, the exception are few and far between and are seen as an anomaly, though not a dihonorable one. They look at it as what they call " Relaln sera hanar" or "the way things are". Though the vulpans are all unique, their culture has morphed together over time. They share a language and have an extremely intricate culture and society that was very difficult to get used to, though in the end turned out to be very rewarding for me.
The vulpan libido is massive in size relative to ours. It's function as a pleasure inducer and sexual drive creator play a massive role in vulpan life. The chemicals released by a vulpan are similar to the dopamine that our own brains release, though theirs is much more potent. This chemical changes over time so that the pleasure taken in the form of sexual gratification do not diminish with use, as the brain does not grow accustomed to the same chemicals. They morph and evolve rapidly so that the body reacts to each change like it was new. The first sexual encounter is just as pleasurable as the one next year and next year. This has not been observed in other species. The libido urges the vulpans, from about the age of fifteen and until very late in life, to pursue sexual interests, though this usually leads teenagers to masturbation until he can find a partner. The vulpan youth has an almost need to masturbate to take the edge off a little from himself. Until he finds a mate, the attitudes towards masterbation are that of wishing there was another to share the experience with. Masturbation among vulpans is not as potent as it is among humans.
This concludes the section on a purely physical aspect of vulpan sexuality, and additional information will present itself as it becomes in context to the information or is noteworthy. The rest of the report focuses mainly on their sexual customs and attitude as well as cultural and religious ones towards procreation. The way that I would sum up the vulpan difference between their attitudes toward sex and ours, I would say that that vulpans see sex as a moral good, much like a Catholic or Hindu would, though in different senses. This requires much extensive research of religion and physical anatomy to understand, subjects that I feel I am very learned in now.
"Sex" in the vulpan language is "Sasusa", similar to the words "Saru" for pleasure, and "Asusha" for good. This is no accident. Serusa means literally,"the good pleasure", good being defined in a moral sense. Vulpans believe in such thing as bad pleasure as well if sex is used in the wrong situations or with bad intentions. This usage of combining words to form others is used often in the vulpan language. This is a good blanket term for sex that will define their attitudes for it: sex is rarely bad morally, sex is an expression of love, and sex has a sacred component to it.
To be frank, vulpans have sex very often. They must in order to survive, as impregnation is more difficult. The average human has less sex than a vulpan does, and married human and vulpan pairs have more sex as well, as opposed to most other interspecies unions between other races and human pairs. This owes to a few reasons, mainly the vulpans libido, and their culturally feelings towards sex. I will compare their acts and customs to our own so that it is easier to grasp.
First is vulpan marriage. The vulpans have an institution of marriage in their culture like most species and our own that stems from their religion and their natural tendencies to socialize with a single individual. These. Their religion stimplates that: 1) marriage is between a male and female, 2) marriage cannot be forced, nor can any vulpan be coerced into the decision, 3) the marrige vows last until death, and 4) the pair is expected to have sex and produce pups. As you can see in four, these main principles of vulpan union constitute both civil and religious overtones to marriage. Regarding the first statement, there is no such notion of gay marriage in vulpan society, though I will discuss that topic later. Marriages cannot be arranged, and it is a serious crime to coerce someone into marriage by blackmail, force, or other means. The vows last until death, though in vulpan religion, reincarnation takes effect here. If a pair loves each other truly, then they will be reunited in their life again possesing the same souls, but different bodies. Vulpans do accept the fact that deception can play a part in marriage, and divorced are granted if a mate becomes dangerous, abusive, or similar. Mistakes happen, as it is nature to err. These instances are rare, as many pairs have had sex before they marry. It its through this process that they can find out if a person truly has feelings for them.
But unlike our culture, sex is not confined strictly to a married pair. It is not immoral to have sex without a marriage, but it is severly immoral to neglect a child should one result from the procreation. It is through sex that many mates are found. Usually any pair that has a child will end up married. This is the product of the vulpan psyche towards submission, love and it's sexual aspects. Vulpans rarely breed with another they have no true feelings for. They feel it a betrayal to themselves and each other to engage in "love incarnate" with a person that they car nothing for. There are few vulpan prostitutes, though the vulpan porn industry is massive, which I will also discuss later on. Vulpans have little sexual activity until the human age equivalent of sixteen, when hormones and personal feeling bring them to experiment in sexual activity with others. This leads us into our next topic: homosexuality among vulpans.
This is an interesting idea amongst our culture, and one that should be studied and understood extensively before drawing conclusion. That being said, in a way, all vulpans are gay, though not in the sense we think of. Vulpans males, especially. On average, 40% of vulpan males will have had sexual experiences with another male. A staggering figure to us, but here are the reasons: Vulpans feel that pleasure can be derived from good, evil, and moral neutrals. Good like in heterosexual breeding, evil as in adultury, and moral neutral such as homosexual acts. Gay sexual activity is a moral neutral because it is held similar to the heterosexual union. If two best friends, for example, who truly have feelings of trust and love towards each other, then they can have a neutral sexual experience or engage in forplay. No vulpan feels true sexual attraction towards another of the same sex, but can be explained by this example: if a straight person were to see a member of his sex naked, then he would be aroused in a way, not because you want to have sex with them, but because that person reminds you of a naked person because they are one. Nakedness in our culture is representative of sex, the same way that vulpan males may have sexual activity. It is not a symbol of love, but a sign of extreme friendship and total trust. This is not taken lightly amongst the vulpans, either. As rarely do pairs have sex that do not have feeling for the other. That being said, it is a neutral to them. If at a public bath, two best friends or even brothers want to have sex, then they just might depending on those present. Though there are much more limits to this type of sexual behavior in public than in heterosexual couples.
To us this may seem like a double standard, but in a nutshell, sex between a male and female constitutes love and respect in a romantic way, but sex amongst the same gender represents trust and loyalty, not true sexual desire. A vulpan can have sex with a male and not be gay at all. For an example I have included an interview with a noted vulpan psychologist to better explain this concept.
The next topic to disuss is the cultural acceptance of sexual activity compared to ours. For example, if your spouse and you had sex on a regular occasion, then it would be considered inproper to speak of it in public to strangers or friends and relatives. To humankind, sex has the feeling of "keep it in the bedroom" that vulpans do not have. Vulpan society focuses on sex in a different way than we do. It is considered improper to discuss your sexual lifestyle wihtout your mate's consent, though. While most breeding pairs have no objection to their mates talking about their sexual experiences together, it would be bad etiquitte to speak about any information that would endanger their reputation, if there is any to a vulpan, or to in any way defame or speak badly about another.
To explain this, I can use the example of the vulpan idea of public bathing. Like the Romans, the vulpans have always had an idea of public bathing that practically condradicts ours. Very few vulpan homes have showers or baths. The public bath houses, open all year round, are sponsored by the government and some private companies through taxes. The taxes that fund the baths are cheaper than individual water bills from bathing at home. A vulpan family normally once a day and usually at night after the work of the day is done, travels to the bath houses (there are many of these baths scattered throughout the cities and neighborhoods to ensure that the travel is not long) and bathe there. The males and females are separated into halves, and each sex bathes in his own section. While here, baths are not supposed to be short or concise in the sense ours are. Humans treat bathing as a private action that should be fast and done like any other job. This is not like the vulpans, sho attempt to find social experiences in every matter in life. Bathing is a social gathering where co-workers can exchange thoughts and ideas non-business related, though they sometimes are, friends can talk amongst themselves, and parents can watch over their children. This social experience is an important part of vulpan developement. Pups become used to others their age and develop social skills here, and youths can experience a mild sexual satisfaction of being nude amongst a group, which breeds toleration. Adults, as well meet here at night to continue friendships of merely to discuss their lives. Many great vulpan philosophies spawned from such discussions at baths as well as some of the greatest dirty jokes in the universe.
In the baths, the genders are separated, though there is another third section for mates to bathe that I was able to spend much time in by special appointment by the bath staff in order to do my research. Most of the data that I have about culture and social sex issues are derived form time spent here. Males and females are allowed to bathe together here, though it is restricted to married couples for the reason that it promotes having a sexual partner in order to improve married life and helps to drive down divorce rates from couples that might not be as intimate as they wish. Vulpan divorce rates are extremely low. In these sections of the baths, mates can talk with each other or other couples and discuss their sexual lives or their married statues, resolving problems with the help of more experienced pairs. It is important to note that in this married section, sex is allowed. Mates will engage in sexual behavior whilst they converse with other couples. This is not impolite unless it becomes a detriment to the conversation or is too distracting. Alot of sexual activity occurs here due to the subject matter at hand. In many discussions in this section, the topic revolves around sexual secrets and discoveries made and shared that can be put to use immediately, or even having one pair demonstrate to the other as they watch and learn. Such is vulpan society. It is not uncommon to encounter groups of several couples having a conversation and half of them are having sex or pleasuring each other, depending on the topic. Sex is not only for the bedroom, and having sex in front of other couples is not taboo at all, unlike our culture. The opposite is true, for if you are willing to allow yourself to be seen by others in your pleasuring of a mate, it gives the sense of vulnerablilty, a sign of personal sacarifice. It is also a way to show off in good humor. This, I feel, is a hard transition for humans that decide to live in vulpan areas or marry a vulpan. It, for a time, appalled me that, upon walking into this part of the bath with the group I conversed with, they would be having sex right in front of me as others spoke and continued their conversations. It was not unusual to see some couples doing nothing but having sex alone, with no others around them.
In a personal story of mine, my sister had a good vulpan friend that often visited us at our home on the Mars colony, for they met in college when she attended the vulpan Relashal University, and she recently married him about a year ago. They decided to live in a vulpan country. During their first time at the baths, she felt extremely nervous being around couples that were having sex in front of her while the conversation was going on and with no restraint. The situation was very foreign to her and she even thought about leaving him, though she imagined how sad that he would be, as she loved him as well. She herself had refused to have sexual relations with her husband in these places, including even foreplay or other methods of it, until about a month later when she became used to the idea or sex in public and as they went to the baths, they began to join in the sexual discussions and fooled around themselves in front of the others. It actually helped them amongst the other vulpans, because of thier attitudes toward sex. He told me when I met him once, that he had become well known about his workplace and community for his marriage to another species. He was respected because of his ability to not allow such differences to come between them.
The layout of these baths is a simple one, though it is efficient and aesthetic like all their structures. There is a pair of vestibules that open up into a reception area which in turn leads to a room that splits into the three sections for males, females, and mates. Through these doors is a bathroom with lockers and sinks where the vulpans undress and leave their things. Then they walk into the bathing area which is a large open pool. The pool is divided into sections depending on the individual locale, though usually there is a main bathing area with water about five feet deep with seats along the edges. There is another section for actual swimming in the center, the water is about eight feet deep here, and another section for pups that is about two feet or less deep. The soap and cleaning agents are here in the pool area and the vulpans walk nude from the lockers to the bathing area, wet on their way out. Then they dry off in the lockers and change back into their clothes. In the section that is only for mates, there is only a bathing section and a swimming section. In the bathing area there are many smaller pools that people can sit in a circle around the edges while they converse. The seats seemed specially designed to accomodate a wide variety of sexual actions. The area out of the water has soft benches for grooming and other aesthetic reasons. It was not uncommon to see couples having foreplay, though when out of the water, sex is considered impolite if it becomes too raucous or attention grabbing. The water acts as a cleaning tool as well as a means to allow a pair to experience sex without seeming too intrusive. Though in many areas it is designed for them to have sex above the water's semi-protective veil, such as when a few couples would exit the water for a while to show others sexual positions on the soft floor so that the others could see and learn from the sight. I observed almost all of the actual penetration in this way and learned alot myself.
Interspecies sex is not frowned upon by vulpans. It is actually looked upon as a victory for them both; able to transcend the barriers of human culture for their love of eachother. It breeds toleration and respect. This is what our friend discovered there that she was unaware of in vulpan society. In a vulpan-human marriage, which are growing in number, the couple is still expected to be sexually active, though no children can be produced on most occasion, though it is possible. What her problem was is applying our human sexual standard to another culture and expecting them to mingle, figuratively and literally. I believe that at the time of this writing that my sister's friend is pregnant with her huband's son, the gender of which they are suprising themselves with at the birth. I think that the reason that these human vulpan couples rarely live among the humans is because we tend to shun them as outsiders or even as promiscuous, while the vulpans welcome the spouses of vulpans as their own, granting them citizenship and, like the story represents, respect through toleration. In fact, vulpans dislike our ideas that interspecies marriage is a questionable moral thing. They especially find great insult in our deeming these marriages "beastiality". This is a reason that slmost 94% of these couples choose to live in vulpan states: to avoid the feelings of hate and oppresion that humans show towards them, while vulpans welcome them. I think that, after seeing what I have in this report, we should seriously rethink our position on our vulpans poilicies in our society. I wish that we were as tolerant as they were. Offering citizenship to vulpans married to humans would be a good step forward, I should think.
It is not, in vulpan society, a mark of virility to have a large or small penis amongst males, nor maternal to have a certain breasts size. Vulpans are much more wise than humans, I think, because of their logical approach to the topic. Vulpans take the phrase "it's not how big it is, it's how well you use it" and believe it. Having a small penis or flat breasts (and from what I have seen amongst the females, is not an issue) doesn't make you less of your respective gender. That lies in your inablity to satisfy your mate. That's is a reason why marriage counselors are few in number amongst vulpans. The couple in question can learn anything they might need to know at the baths from other experienced mates that have overcome said problem. In one instance as I was listening to one conversation, a male had spoken to another couple that he was concerned that he was not satisfying his mate enough. After a few series of questions and explanations, he learned new techniques and other sexual skills and was able to apply them and be successful. Any vulpan can tell you that asking for help isn't shameful at all, and a solution is guaranteed. It is in these situations when a pair would go to the baths and start a discussion about how to please the other better, and not only would they be able to get suggestion, but could be taught positions and methods on the spot. In these instances, which are not uncommon, the whole group benefits, as they all learn new positions and such while the one pair can walk away knowledgeable.
While virility lies in one's ability to pleasure sexually and in conversation, the emphasis on size is nonexistent for a few reasons. Mainly because you can't affect it at all, and it wasn't you're decision to be endowed in a certain way. Vulpans see that if you're born with small breasts of genitals, then you aren't at fault, thus should not be put to shame because of it. Plastic surgery and such are extremely uncommon, used mainly as prosthesis than for sexual augmentation. For example, if ones genitals are harmed in any way, it can be fixed like new without scarring or any evidence it was harmed in the first place. The human obsession with enlarging sexual organs lies in our ability to think that we become more manly or sexually attractive if we enlarge them. To us, size matters. Vulpan females, for instance, do not tend to show any special attraction to phallic size, but in the male himself. To quote my sister's mate, "Like a gun, it doesn't matter how big the barrel is, but how accurate it is."
Vulpans show distaste for our notions that size determins manliness, because so much af a vulpan's virility lies not only sexually but in wisdom and charisma. We see poets as unmanly, though the opposit is true to them. Any time you were to mention to a vulpan that you might be bigger than him, he would probably ask why you bothered to tell him that, because it doesn't matter. It is assinine to think that you possess more manliness in your spirit just because of a bodily advantage. The vulpans are very charismatic in dealing with others, and extremely so in dealing with the opposite sex. Vulpan poetry is very provocative in nature, but is also very finely and cleverly written. Words are very important, though silence is as well.
In Vulpan sexuality itself, the differences in the actual act of sex amongst vulpans are a few in number. Vulpan customs surrounding sex can be intricate as well as simple. An example is in the bodies themselves. Females will often wear only jewelry given to them by their husbands or paramours during sex as a sign of love. They are otherwise naked. Clothing during sex is practically nonexistant. With the exception of jewelry, which is a common practice, clothing gives vulpans the feeling of insecurity when they should feel open, exposed, and trusting. Clothing has the notion that a vulpan is not willing for his mate to see a certain part of him, thus he is not trusting on the other or is insecure. Vulpan's consider clothing during sex a near insult or at the least, bad form.
There is much foreplay is vulpan sex, in order to stretch out the already long vulpan sexual experience. I have found that amongst married vulpans, sex typically lasts almost twice as long than human intercourse on average, this not including forplay, only the sex itself. The foreplay is also acting as a stimlant to both members sexually, as they prepare for sex. "Fooling around" is done sometimes on it's own the pleasure can be so great. Vulpans honeslty believe that being able to pleasure another vulpan in this manner is an almost art form. This trait can be seen in foxes on Earth and other wild canines. Vulpans view the entire body as a sexual organ, because of the bodies ability to give pleasure in a wide variety of places. The hands themselves are sexual, as is the neck, the feet, everything.
During sex, the male in our culture is dominant over the female, and she is expected to follow through on his whims. Vulpans take another approach. The male is dominant only physically, and most of the muscular work is done by him, because males are stronger than the females. Many positions require the male to undergo physical duress as a means of pleasuring his mate, another sign of sacrifice for another that females find attractive. Other than this, each member is equal. It is considered very polite and loving to admit to the other's desire or freely offer one's self to a certain position that may give the other more pleasure than yourself. Vulpans have a sexual saying: "You only get what you give". Oral sex plays a large part in the vulpan's sexual life, mainly in the female. Oral sex performed on males are rumored to be the best oral experience in the univers due to the unique shape of the vulpan head and tongue, a theory that I will take their word for, though the general consensus amongst the denizens of the universe is impressive.
The positions are, like in our human sexual experiences, extremely varied depending on the couple themselves and their personal preferences. There are, however, as a a general consensus, more widespread positions than other species, such as the missionary position, "doggystyle" though it is a term that vulpans find in bad taste, though other rear entry methods are not as common because it feels less personal. Sex done from the rear must almost always have a method for the two to have their faces and mouths close to each other. This is another way that vulpan sex feels more intimate and honest. Vulpan sex contains alot of oral interaction, involvinf kissing, licking, and suggestive speaking. Even amongst human-vulpan couples this holds true, and the couple will almost always have oral contact, despit the difference in species.
Vulpans have much longer lives than humans, for dying at a eighty to a vulpan is a life cut tragically short. A vulpan reaches sexual maturity at about fifteen human years and marriagable age at twenty. It is very common for a couple to have a pup when they are young, raise him, and when he is old enough to leave, he does and the parents are still considered very young as well and have another pup. It is a very normal thing for a pair to conceive, and at twenty, the offspring will leave to live on his own. The pair will have another pup and repeat the process mulitpe times. Some pairs have one pup, others have two or three or more depending. It is simply a vulpan idea that we do not possess because our lives are much shorter. A female vulpan can have pups as old as 100 years. This can lead to seemingly akward family ties for us, though it is normal to them. Grandchildren can have uncles that are younger than they are, a situation unthinkable to us, but not so for them. Vulpans are sexually active through almost the entirety of their lives. There is also an interesting aging process that vulpans go through that differs from ours. A vulpan posesses stamina and physique throughout most of there life. A vulpan spends the vast majority of his life in his "prime". While we usually experience this from about sixteen to about forty, depending, the vulpan is in his top physical shape starting at about twenty through at least a hundred. Even after a female has stopped egg production, she will still continue to lead a sexually active lifestyle. Vulpan females do not lose their estrogen levels like humans do and their sex drive does not stop until very late in life.
One trait that the vulpans do not share with us is circumcision. Vulpans do not have the ritual of circumcision as it produces no benefits to them and takes away from the males' ability to pleasure his mate. It simply has no purpose, and mutilation of the genitals is immoral and frowned upon heavily. There are no religious ceremonies for the reproductive organs in vulpans specially, other than a simple blessing upon a vulpan's birth that they be fertile.
Masterbation is an example as well of how vulpan culture differs from our own. While the topic of masturbation is very taboo in our society and is immoral in many religions, the vulpans see no immoral action in it. Masterbation is simply a way to gain pleasure through one's self. It means nothing and is much more tolerated in their society than in ours. If a human walks in on another human masterbateing, it is a greivous offense and extremely embarassing. If the vulpan encounter occcurs, then it is slighlty akward, but no more. I have seen vulpans in the baths masterbating as they talk with others, though it is extremely important to note that it is good form and etiquitte to partake in self pleasuring as nonchalantly as possible, like under the water's surface. I have seen a group of males masterbate each other in the baths at times, though it is a consensus among them that people doing this should be further away form other groups, especially pups.
Incest is forbidden to vulpans, and relatives cannot be married to each other. There are no exceptions that I found for this rule. The genetic problems caused by inbreeding are tremendous in vulpans. This leads us to the vulpan idea towards abortion. Since vulpan children rarely have a single parent, as almost all children are born into a married family, abortion as a tool is unneeded. As a moral issue, however, vulpans are tremendously in opposition to it. Abortion was never legal in a vulpan state, and they cannot see how other cultures continue to partake in the act. Vulpans have always seen abortions as killing a living thing, which almost all scientific study has shown is true, though other species are unwilling to give up regardless. This puts the vulpans again in good standing with Christianity, as the two share much moral consensus. Not even in rape or incest is abortion allowed, as vulpans see no reason to punish the child by killing it for the sins of the parent(s).
As I have stated previously, interspecies marriage among humans and vulpans is on the rise. Over eighty percent of these marriages lasts a lifetime, compared to about fifty percent for human couples. Interestingly, I have found that over 80% of human-vulpan pairs consist of a human female and a vulpan male. I have found no reason yet for this statistic, though I suspect that a reason can be found eventually given enough time and research. Another intereting statistic is that of these couples, practically all of them say that they both experience sexual satisfaction when they have sex. This number is the same as vulpan couples that report the same numbers, so an interesting question appears: how? In some way a human becomes more sexually active and becomes part of the vulpan culture as well seamlessly and fairly quickly, achieving an end that is the same as a "natural" couple. Vulpans of both sexes have some talent or gift at making sexual experience gratifying to each other and can even surpass the species impediment as well.
Obviously these human-vulpan couples possess a true live for each other, else the vulpan would have left the marriage. The vulpans, despite their often rough appearance, seem to be naturally charismatic and generous. Chivalry comes naturally to them, as if they know it form the start. Vulpans are an example of how Darwin musst have been wrong in one aspect: for from the earliest of ages, they co-operate and sacrifice for each other and expect to compensation nor are they taught this. Many have argued that this is proof that a supernatural power exists or that a higher moral authority is in place that we cannot explain without turning to faith.
There are no known vulpan STD's that are impossible to cure. There are very few to begin with. All of these infections are not due to birth defects or previous sexual activity with other partners, but in a direct infection form the environment. Human STD's cannot be transmitted to a vulpan. It has never happened before. Vulpan STD's are not gained from their partners and cannot be given to another human or vulpan, though it can cause pain during sex or be uncomfortable. Most of these genital infections fade away after a week or so, but some must be treated. Medicines are cheap for them and usually can be obtained with a doctor's visit and a prescription that might last a few weeks at most. Vulpan immune systems are extremely powerful, which is mostly good, for they cannot contract STD's from other species, nor get driunk as their body naturally purges itself at a certain level, nor can a vulpan get high off off external drugs like other species can. Vulpans gain a type of "high" from the immense pleasure they obtain form sex. It is much greater than our own for reasons I have mentioned. One such disadvantage to having this strong immune system is the immense difficulty for a vulpan to receive blood donations from anyone other than close family.
Vulpan sex is hard to come by if you do not already have a relationship with a vulpan. Their scruples of love and trust are very strong and there are few vulpan prostitutes. Vulpans posess a feeling of fidelity to their mates and themselves that is hard to overcome. The vulpan does not have any qualms about having relationships with other species, no matter whom. Humans are by far the most common species to marry vulpans in an interspeceis marriage, for reasons that cannot currently be explained. From what I have learned, however, it seems that the two simply "click". There have been few phadran or saurian marriages to vulpans. It is in the vulpan spirit of tolerance and open mindedness that has led ot the numbers of human-vulpan unions. Vulans can love anyone, as long as you are the right person. The body matters not. One reason might be that only humans can successfully procreate with a vulpan and have offspring. There is a very slim chance that a vulpan can impregnate a human. It cannot work the other way round. But a very interesting study has found that in all these cases, the child of interpsecies sex has always been vulpan for the following reason: when a male ejaculates into a female and his sperm reach the egg, the sperm will bore into the egg and fertilize it, but at the same time, the genetic codes contained inside the vulpan sperm cells bond with the human cells in the egg, all traces of the human are lost. The vulpan genes literally morph the females gentic structure inside the egg and the zygote becomes vulpan entirely, possessing no human traits at all. Ths phenomenon has been both rare and astounding for me to see. Usually the pairs of genes cooperate and form a new set, but in this case one set is completely rewritten. The mother is still the genetic mother, though, as the sperm cells required the egg to make the zygote. The human mother of a vulpan is still it's true mother, regardless. Vulpan pups often treat their parentage with pride as it is seen as a blessing for a vulpan and human couple to become parents.
This ends my report on vulpan sexuality. It has been a long process and the full notes and extended tapes can be seen enclosed in this report's file. There is also a series of interviews with the vulpan pairs that I spent a lot of time with as well as doctors and other qualified vulpan physicians. There are also a few vids of vulpan intercourse that they were willing to provide me with so long as they are used for scientific study and not personal gratification. As such, access to these files is restricted to most. Also enclosed are papers documenting my travel, such as passports and other legal proceedings.
In a personal note, I have found vulpans to be a severely misunderstood species by us. After spending such a long time with them, I have grown used to their wisdom and cleverness that gives them toleration and understanding. They were polite in their own way to me and were very helpful in explaining the topic in a serious way. I made good friends there in the baths and have been invited to spend a vacation there to get a larger taste of vulpan society. My work had cut into the time I could spend sightseeing. They also invited my wife, as they thought we could use the cultural experience. Though in all honesty, I think they also would feel much better if I could be able to join them in physical ways, as they exoressed their sadness in my inability to join them in that way, though they admired my fidelity to my spouse. They grew fond of me, and the feelings were mutual. I, though very skeptical and nervous at the onset of this assignment, look forward to another trip there, for business or pleasure.
(N.B. It is important to note that in my research and investigation into the sexuality of vulpans, they were insistent that I partake in certain cultural traditions in order to understand it fully and not come away with an incomplete picture, else my ideas might be incorrect. They treated me like their own and attempted to include me in every custom and ceremony that I would allow. Some of these cultural traditions may seem taboo for our culture, yet one should note that it was necessary and was not, in the end, a bad experience. I never did partake in any sexual activity with a vulpan during this report, though I feel that having a relationship with one would have given me a better and more accurate report. I look forward to spending more time with vulpans in the future due to their courtesy and toleration of my own ways.)
