The Sexual Taxonomy of the Species commonly known as Xenomorphs
Story by TheXenoRaptor on SoFurry
"The taxonomy of the various varieties of xenomorph and especially their sexual habits have long been an area of interest to the scientific community and to the public at large. However, before now, there has never been any attempt made to compile information about xenomorphs into a format that is both comprehensive and accessible. This guide, made for those who wish to visit xenomorph hives themselves or simply learn more about this mysterious and fascinating species, is compiled from a myriad of peer-reviewed sources combined with personal experience from the author. It is my sincere hope that you find it helpful and enlightening!"
Ok, the little roleplay is done now. In all seriousness, this is an adaptation of a thing I wrote for a friend of mine when he was feeling a bit down, and mostly it's my own work. Mostly. However, I do make reference to various concepts, such as a "Breeder" xenomorph and "Carrier" xenomorph that are in part borrowed from other works.
The breeder xenomorph takes rather direct inspiration from an amazing work of art by MoltenGoldArt on FurAffinity called "The Breeder": https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39200021/
(Which was, as I understand it, based on a character design by sassygayraptor))
The carrier xenomorph takes much lighter inspiration from a pair of pictures called "The Vore Hive", by
here on SoFurry. And, yes, it is exactly what is sounds like. You have been warned:

That said, this little piece here isn't particularly extreme at all. There is discussion of soft, clean, non-lethal anal vore, along with soft watersports. Aside from that it's really quite tame. Thus my decision to rate it as "Adult" and not "Extreme".
A basic introduction to xenomorph taxonomy:
The xenomorphs (internecivus raptus) are a species of large, vertebrate bipeds that are found throughout the known galaxy. They stand at around two meters tall at the shortest, and most have thin, lanky bodies that conceal a surprising amount of strength. Their bodies are composed of a chitinous exoskeleton over which is a thin layer of rubbery black skin. Their internal organs are largely similar to other vertebrate species, with the major exception to this being that their blood is extremely acidic and green in color. Due to their exoskeletons and the thickness and toughness of their skins, xenomorphs don't usually get cuts like softer-skinned organisms do, which reduces the danger from the blood. Their hands and feet feature retractable talons.
Xenomorphs are highly social creatures which live in hives of anywhere from 80 to over 2000 members. They are exceptionally intelligent, and have been known to independently invent and practice agriculture when their numbers grow too great for hunting and scavenging to sustain them. Their willingness to form social bonds even with outsiders is quite remarkable, and in rare cases, xenomorphs have been known to leave their hives to pursue relationships (both platonic and romantic) with other species. It is possible to teach a xenomorph of any caste to speak, although this takes a long time (upwards of six months) with most castes, the sole exception being the king.
The hives that xenomorphs inhabit have many shared features, but various hive have been known to have different features. Almost always build underground and in a mostly horizontal layout, hives are constructed of a black, rubbery "resin" that xenomorphs can secrete from glands in their mouths. The climate of the hives is usually quite consistent, with the internal areas being kept at high humidity and a temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius or roughly 80 degrees Fahrenheit, generally higher than room temperature but not quite stifling. Some hives are quite slimy, covered in a sort of opaque whitish or clear goo that is rather close in texture to petroleum jelly, whereas others are much drier and have almost no slime in them at all, instead having bare walls with a texture resembling hardened rubber.
Xenomorphs are an all-males species, with reproduction achieved either through anal breeding, during the course of which seed will pushed through a cervix located in the xenomorph's rectum and into their womb, which will then results in a pregnancy and live birth, or via the more well-known method of ovomorphs (also known as "eggs") and chestbursting. There are no xenomorph females. Most xenomorphs have a slit between their hind legs, in which is housed their penis and testicles, both of which emerge when they are aroused and ready to mate. As a species, they keep themselves remarkably clean, seeming to have an instinctual distaste for grime around their sexual organs. Their friendliness towards other sapient species varies from hive to hive, although they are usually welcoming of other intelligent organisms as platonic companions and sexual partners, unless said organism have displayed marked hostility beforehand.
There are six sub-species of xenomorph. The various sub-species will be described going from the bottom of the hive social structure upwards.
Drone
Drones form the majority of the hive's members. They are about two meters in height with smooth domes. Their tasks largely encompass food production and gathering, caring for the young, exploration of the outside world, and hive construction and maintenance. Their anuses are uniformly dry, and their cocks are about 15 to 20 centimeters long, or roughly six to eight inches in imperial units. They posses wombs, however unless special and catastrophic circumstances arise, such as the loss of the king, the breeders, and the carriers, their wombs are infertile and their ejaculate sterile. However, this state does not negatively impact their libido, which, like all xenomorphs, is quite high. During times in which they are not occupied with doing work for the hive, drones can be found having frequent recreational sex with each other and with soldier-caste xenomorphs. Their ejaculate is clear; devoid of sperm, although they produce and eject said ejaculate in in great quantities. Their penis is humanoid in shape; long, thick, smooth, and with a human-like head. It is without a foreskin and most of the time is retracted in its slit.
Drones usually have a curious and friendly disposition, and will often approach humans or furs on their own prerogative to investigate them. If the humans or furs display friendliness, the drones often won't hesitate to lead them back to the hive and "introduce" them to the other drones there. They are often quite willing and even eager to form bonds and have sexual intercourse with the visitors.
Warrior
Warriors form the next caste. They are slightly larger then the drones, at about two and a half meters. Their domes are noticeably ridged compared to the drones, although this doesn't appear to affect their vision. They are stronger than drones, and perform duties that involve combat and require greater strength than drones can muster. Drones molting into soldiers during times of "war" is quite common, as are soldiers and former drones molting back into drones at the apparent cessation of hostilities. Warriors have penises that are noticeably larger than the drones, about 25 centimeters, or 10 inches, although beyond that they are not particularly noteworthy. The size of their ejaculations is about the same, which fits with their mostly similar testicle size. These ejaculations also consist of sterile ejaculate, and their wombs are infertile and their anuses dry. Both warriors and drones have a similar design to their penis: a long, thick, black, humanoid shaft with a standard head on the end, devoid of ridges or bumps and quite smooth, which lacks a foreskin and is usually retracted in their slits.
Warriors are, for understandable reasons, generally less friendly and approachable than drones. While they are not instantly hostile to approaching strangers, they usually will not go to greet them. Once a new person has entered their hive, a couple soldiers will usually shadow them as they move around, making sure that the stranger isn't causing trouble. However, after a few days, most warriors will warm up to the new presence, and will becoming willing to form bonds and have intercourse with the new arrival(s).
Carrier
Carriers form the next caste in the hierarchy. They are the same size as warriors, but can be told apart by their smooth domes and less fearsome features. While they do have claws on their hands and feet, they are retractable and often retracted. Their lower stomachs are noticeably softer and devoid of chitin, instead being comprised entirely of highly malleable flesh. Their anuses and rectums can also stretch far beyond any other xenomorph, except for the king. Their tails do not posses a blade on the end, but rather a spikes that is rounded off near the tip and is therefor harmless as a weapon. Instead, the tail is often used like a sort of sex toy, being inserted into anuses or slits for use as a dildo and put in mouths to be sucked on. Carrier xenomorphs are the first to be fertile, possessing wet, slickened anuses and fertile wombs which can carry young xenomorphs. Despite this, their ejaculate is still clear and sterile, as it is not the role of carriers to impregnate, only to be impregnated. Their testicles are the same size as drones, as are their penises, which are also the same shape, although usually they are on the smaller side, at about 15 centimeters or six inches. Nonpregnant carriers can be approached freely; they are often quite friendly towards other sapient life-forms, and are eager to form friendships and social bonds. They are also more than happy to engage in intercourse with other species, usually occupying the bottom position and being penetrated, although they are also quite capable and happy to play the top role and penetrate their partners. Except for rare circumstances, a non-xenomorph penetrating and ejaculating inside a carrier will not result in a pregnancy for the carrier. The reasons behind this are not fully understood, but it would appear that carriers have some level of control over whether they or not they will get pregnant, like a sort of in-built birth control.
Pregnancies resulting from a non-xenomorph breeding a carrier have always resulted in one of three situations: Either the carrier will give birth to a live, immature drone xenomorph, which will then bond with both the carrier and its seed-parent, the carrier will give birth to a live, immature xenomorph which has taken on a few of the qualities of the seed-parent, but will still mostly resemble a drone in shape and stature, which will also bond with both the carrier and the seed-parent, or the carrier will give birth to a live, immature youngling of the species that the seed-parent was, which will behave identically to standard young of that species, and grow at the same pace of that species into an adult, with no abnormal physical or mental features. The only abnormal aspect about these particular younglings is that they will have an easier time than usual greeting and ingratiating themselves with xenomorph hives, regardless if the hive was the one the carrier was originally from or not. The method by which carriers can choose whether or not to get pregnant, or how one of the various offspring begins to form as opposed to the others is not currently understood.
Carriers have a final feature that is unique to them and to xenomorph kings: their anus and rectal cavities are so malleable that they are capable of actually fitting other living beings inside themselves. This ability has, in a remarkable lack of creativity, been termed "voring", after a sexual fetish that focuses on one sexual partner putting the other inside their anus or swallowing them whole. This was, of course, an impossible fetish to carry out for obvious reasons, so until the discovery of xenomorphs it was the subject of books and animated pornography. The voring of partners by carrier xenomorphs is reportedly quite a pleasant experience, as odd as it sounds. As mentioned above, xenomorphs keep themselves fastidiously clean, and indeed seem to have mechanisms inside them to facilitate this compulsive need for cleanliness. This results in their anuses and rectal cavities being totally devoid of any foul substances or smells at almost all times. When voring a partner, be it a xenomorph drone, which is the only xenomorph small enough to actually be able to fit within a carrier's rectal cavity, or a human or a fur of appropriate size, carriers universally use the same method. They get their partner to kneel, then sit down on them, swallowing first their head, then their shoulders, then their body down to their waist. The carrier will then move to an all-fours position, and use their anal muscles to pull their partner inside of them. Carriers universally orgasm quite powerfully while doing this, and those cocooned inside of them report arousal from the experience, and from a peculiar musk that pervades breeders' backsides which seems to have the affect of being an aphrodisiac. Carriers will then recline on their sides, as they are unable to walk or move much while someone is inside of them. After anywhere between half and hour or two hours, the cocooned individual will be released back through the anus, none the worse for wear.
Why exactly carrier xenomorphs have the ability to "vore" partners is currently unknown, although a hypothesis suggests that it might be a way for carriers to transport eggs long distances; to push them inside of themselves and then travel with them, which conveniently removes the risk of an egg "activating" due to nearby non-xenomorph life and the facehugger (Manumala noxhydria) emerging unintentionally, which, if not the objective, would be opening Pandora's Box, so to speak. Supporting this theory is the fact that eggs are considerably lighter than a standard person, and are considerably smaller and posses a more regular shape.
Breeder
Breeders are the next highest rung of the hive hierarchy, and are in many ways the polar opposite of the carriers. What breeder xenomorphs have in common with carriers are being rough the same size as warriors, although they are often taller by a good third of a meter (or one foot in imperial length), and having smooth domes, along with being quite friendly and approachable in regards to other sapient species. This is where the similarities end though.
Breeders are built with noticeably thicker and more muscular limbs than other xenomorphs, even warriors, and have a more powerful body build overall. They have four arms instead of two, along with powerful, muscled legs that make them the fastest variety of xenomorph, although only when moving in a straight line over open ground or in short bursts; being heavier than most other xenomorphs, about the weight of a praetorian, and considerably bulkier, they have sacrificed much of their agility for raw strength and power.
It is unknown why exactly breeders are built like this. Their role in the hive is obvious by their name; they breed other xenomorphs, mainly carriers, to impregnate them. However, despite being equipped in such a way as to suggest that they have to hold their partners in place while doing the deed, this has never actually been the case when breedings have been observed. Other xenomorphs, even non-carriers such as drones and warriors, eagerly submit to the breeder, and often seek him out in order to be bred. In fact, no instance of rape by one xenomorph against another, or by a xenomorph against any other living thing, sapient or otherwise, has ever been recorded. In the few instances where a xenomorph who is being bred by a breeder changes his mind and becomes unwilling, the breeder will immediately withdraw, regardless of how close to orgasm he is.
The same behavior has been observed in expeditions to xenomorph hives and in laboratory conditions; breeders who begin to mate with a human or fur, only for the human or fur to signal that they no longer wish to participate by yelling, screaming, scrabbling away, or even just gently but insistently pushing the breeder away, will stop attempting to mate with the human or fur. Indeed, in cases where screaming or yelling was what stopped the progress of the mating, the breeder will usually attempt to examine their partner to make sure they aren't hurt, and even hug their partner tenderly to comfort them, often cooing and purring quietly.
This leaves the enduring mystery of the breeder xenomorph's body structure unsolved. However, it has been noted that breeders will sometimes spar with each other, although never over a mate or a meal. The sparring seems to be entirely playful, and neither breeder will make any serious attempt to hurt the other. This play fighting often resembles wrestling, with two breeders locking hands and pushing at each other, or attempting to punch the other, although always in the side or directly on their chest. Rarely, the play-wrestling will end platonically, with the breeders cuddling each other before parting ways. Much more often though, the "winner" of the sparing match will gently pin the "loser" the ground with their chest facing down and their rear elevated, suggesting what he wants. If the pinned breeder is also willing, he will raise his tail and expose his anus to the winner, whereupon the winner will breed the loser. If the loser doesn't raise his tail, the winner releases him and they cuddle before parting ways. There is a hypothesis that these encounters used to be more violent and less playful in the evolutionary past of the xenomorph, and that is why the breeders are build so hardily, although why exactly they would have gotten less violent over time is not explained.
It has also been noted that some xenomorphs of every caste, from drones all the way to some kings, have a taste for what is known as "domination/submission". Some xenomorphs seem to enjoy the idea of being bred roughly and without overt regard for their comfort, and they are capable of communicating this to the breeders, who are more than happy to physically hold them down while roughly and deeply breeding their rear ends. This does not explain how breeders got to be so solidly build, but it does perhaps explain why they have remained so even if they have no apparent evolutionary need for it.
Breeders have dry anuses and are infertile, although in rare cases in which there is a severe shortage of warriors, drones, and carriers, breeder xenomorphs have been known to molt into carriers. Breeder penises and testicles are usually larger than those of drones, warriors, and carriers, with most breeder testicles being roughly ten centimeters in diameter, and with a few penises as small as 25 centimeters (10 inches), but most being somewhere between 30 and 40 centimeters (12 to 16 inches) when hard, and closer to 20 centimeters (eight inches) when soft. Breeder testicles and penises are also unique among xenomorphs in that they hang form the groin fully exposed, and are not housed in a slit while not in use. Their penises are considerably more ornate than those of the lower ranked hive members; with ridges, bumps, and other features that enhance the experience of the receiver. These aren't standardized across different breeders, with individuals having different patterns and arrangements on their penises. At first it was thought that these differences were randomly selected at conception, although it was considered unlikely due to the often very highly specific placement of the features on the penis, usually in places where they would give the most pleasure and arouse the most sensation.
This mystery was recently laid to rest with the several year long observation of a xenomorph breeder in which it was found that he actually consciously changed what form his penis took when he and his partners got bored of its current arrangement. This was also when it was discovered that breeder penises are very much capable of being prehensile. This was discovered when, during experimentation being done by researchers living in a xenomorph hive, one of the researchers brought with them a dildo shaped like a dolphin's penis, which one of the breeders took significant interest in. The researchers then showed the breeder a video of a dolphin's prehensile penis, which the breeder energetically masturbated to, before leaving the group and retreating deep into the hive, being cocooned in resin by some drones, and not moving except to take in food. When finally sliced his way out of the resin after two weeks of being cocooned, it was discovered that his penis had changed shape, and was now virtually identical to a dolphin's penis as well as fully prehensile. This was confirmed to be the same xenomorph breeder as before, and after some experimentation, the researchers designated it as being a fully functioning penis; which could ejaculate fully just like any other.
As a final note on breeders, they are also the only type of xenomorph (again, excluding the kings) which can create any sort of bioluminescence. They do this with glands hidden under their skin, which can glow any color and a few outside the normal visible spectrum of humans and furs, such as ultraviolet and infrared.
Like with their penises, breeders seem to have a broad degree of control over where these glands form, and indeed a few breeders have been observed putting them in their penises so that they glow.
Breeders are also the second rarest variety of xenomorph in a given hive; there have never been any more than six recorded even in the largest hives, and most hives have only two or three. Interestingly, there has never been a hive observed with only one breeder, or a hive observed with no breeders at all; there are always two or more.
Praetorian
Praetorians are the penultimate variety of xenomorphs in the hierarchy. There are usually between six and 18 of them in a hive, and they are the king's personal bodyguard and mates. They live in close proximity to the king and compared to other xenomorphs have less personal autonomy.
This is somewhat made up for by the fact that they their lives are essentially a semi-constant orgy between themselves, the king, and any other xenomorphs that feel like taking part. Praetorians are usually infertile and sterile with dry anuses and semenless ejaculate, but appear to have the individual ability to both become fertile and produce sperm as they wish. This appears to be something that they will do at the command of their king, so that either the king can breed them and impregnate them, or so that they can breed and impregnate the king. As well as being the king's bodyguards, they are also his personal harem.
Despite this, praetorians are the largest xenomorphs in the hive besides the king, weighing the same as the stocky breeders and standing at about three meters tall (ten feet in imperial units). They are instantly recognizable by the crests on the rear of their domes and their large size. They are ferocious fighters, and will defend the king at all costs.
It is not recommended that explorers wishing to visit a xenomorph hive immediately seek out the praetorians or the king. While the praetorians are unlikely to immediately attack, their role as the king's bodyguards makes them highly protective of him. It is possible but unlikely that they will allow a newcomer to have an "audience" with the king, but it is far more likely that they will bodily remove an intruder from the deeper parts of the hive; picking them up and carrying them away if necessary. The best method by which to make oneself more acceptable to the praetorians is by spending a few days in the upper layers of the hive bonding with a drone or breeder, either platonically or sexually, before getting them to accompany you as you venture deeper into the hive to find the praetorians and the king.
Despite the icy reception they may give outsiders at first, once the newcomers prove themselves to be trustworthy, they will quickly acclimate to their presence and warm up to them. After a few days or so they will become willing to be involved in sexual activity with a visiting human or fur, either bottoming or topping. Frequent visitors to hives, or those that stay long enough, will find that praetorians are just as friendly and willing to form social bonds as other varieties of xenomorphs, but that, given their role within the hive, it will take longer to reach that point with them.
It is highly recommended for those that wish to mate with praetorians (and with xenomorphs in general, but especially so with the breeders, preatorians, and the king) that they first receive hormone injections that will better allow them to fit the penises of the larger xenomorph varieties within their anuses or vaginas. Otherwise it might be quite difficult, even for someone with a great deal of experience, to fit a xenomorph's penis inside them. Given the nature of xenomorphs, it is likely that if they perceive someone as unable to take their penises without causing pain or damage, they won't even try to mate.
Praetorian penises are between 50 and 60 centimeters (20 to 24 inches) long when erect, and, along with testicles that are standard size for a xenomorph, are secreted in slits between their legs when not in use. There has never once been a recorded case of a praetorian leaving a hive in order to pursue a relationship with a human or fur, or becoming pregnant as a result of having intercourse with a human or fur. Given how much control xenomorphs in general have over their bodies, this is assumed to be a choice that they consciously make, not a limitation due to their biology.
King
Kings are the final and highest rank of xenomorphs. There is only one king per hive, and the king is the absolute leader of the hive. A king's rule is benevolent and lenient, and, except for praetorians, most xenomorphs are given a great deal of autonomy, so long as they complete certain tasks. Kings are the largest and heaviest xenomorphs in a hive. Standing at approximately four and a half meters tall (about 15 feet in imperial units), they are instantly recognizable due to their size and dome ornamentation, which is even more elaborate than that of praetorians. Their domes are split into multiple segmented parts, the forward most of which houses the king's mouth, which is normally hidden unless the king is eating or is agitated. The king's body is built much more horizontally than other xenomorph varieties, giving it roughly the stature and stance of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The king's social behaviors are different from most of the rest of his hive; he is no less friendly towards sapient creatures than his subjects, but is, by necessity, a bit more distant and unable to as easily maintain a friendship. This is due to his common preoccupation of running the hive by giving orders to his lieutenants; often warriors, via pheromones, which they relay to other parts of the hive. When he is not asleep, which he is for ten hours a day, the king has perhaps four hours of total free time to dedicate to other things, such as breeding his harem and conversing with visitors.
As mentioned before, it is possible to teach a xenomorph of any caste to speak, although this takes a long time with most castes, the exception being the king. While the king does not have a greater capacity for knowledge than the average xenomorph, human, or fur, he is "cleverer" than most, and is very good at learning and picking up on new things, such as speech.
A king xenomorph's penis is the largest in the hive at about a meter long (roughly three feet in imperial units). Most xenomorphs can take most or all of such a length due to the construction of their bodies, but humans and furs are not so lucky. Even with hormone injections to help, the best a human or fur can hope for is to fit half of the king's penis inside them. The king will certainly be happy to try to fit his penis into someone, but won't push father than they personally think is safe.
A king's balls are quite large, usually about a third of a meter in diameter (approximately one foot in imperial units), and can hold up to two gallons of semen. Despite the virility and libido that this implies, a king is statistically likely to spend less time mating that any other variety of xenomorph. The king is almost always in a state of fertility, with a slick anus and a fertile womb. They have been occasionally known to go dry and infertile for periods of time if they do not wish to have further offspring, but this is relatively rare.
A xenomorph king always has a personal harem of mates to choose from. This harem always includes his praetorians, and will usually also include at least one of every variety of xenomorph in the hive, from drones to breeders. It should also be noted that not all kings take the dominate position during intercourse; most are versatile, and a few have even been known to be submissive to their praetorians and to their harem. This is never construed as the king being less than fully in command of the hive though; xenomorphs as a species seem to have entirely divorced the concepts of sexual preference and personal will and power. Despite this, it can be rather surprising to see the largest xenomorph in the hive whimpering and mewling submissively as a breeder confidently strides in, breeds the king, and the promptly leaves as if the king is just another carrier. No king has ever been known to become pregnant from having sex with a human or fur, and no king has ever left his hive to pursue a relationship with a human or fur. This is, in the words of several kings, because of the sense of responsibility and paternal affection that bonds them to their hive and hive-mates. It would be emotionally scarring for them to leave, for both the king and the members of his hive.
Kings, like breeders, have the ability to make bioluminescent glands beneath their skin to make them glow, which they often due to make themselves look even grander, and like carriers can fit modestly sized humans, furs, and xenomorphs into their rectums, and are quite willing to do so as part of sexual play.
Kings are also solely responsible for laying the much-feared ovomorphs, or "eggs". It may surprise many readers to learn that the ovomorphs are seen almost as negatively by xenomorphs themselves as they are by humans and furs. They are viewed as a dangerous, undesirable necessity that must of course exist in case something disastrous were to happen to the hive, but that also inspires nothing but stress and dislike from most xenomorphs. There are usually only 20 or so eggs in a given hive, always kept in a hidden, sealed chamber somewhere in the vicinity of the king.
Xenomorphs who have been taught to speak have expressed their feelings of disgust about the eggs and their occupants at length, expressing a sentiment about them that usually can be distilled to a sort of hatred of how "primitive" they are. Despite the facehuggers not being dangerous to xenomorphs, they do not enjoy causing pain, and are quite aware of the fear and agony that having a chestburster emerge would cause another living thing. This doesn't mean that xenomorphs are pacifistic; indeed they can be quite violent if provoked and enjoy the consumption of meat greatly. But they do not enjoy the suffering of intelligent beings, and seek to avoid being the cause of it.
All xenomorphs will try to keep humans or furs away from the eggs as best they can, and will, if forced to, kill a facehugger if it is in danger of attaching itself to someone. As long as someone does not actively attempt to seek them out, they can rest quite assured that they will not be confronted with an egg or facehugger during their time spent in a hive.
Individual sexual habits:
As with individuals of every other known species capable of sapient thought, individual xenomorphs often have sexual preferences, kinks, and fetishes of their own that are not shared in common with other individuals. The aforementioned domination and submission kink is quite widespread in xenomorph hives, with an estimated 20% to 30% of xenomorphs of all castes having this preference.
However, this is far from the only kink that xenomorphs have displayed.
Another common paraphilia is watersports; about 10% of xenomorphs have been observed to enjoy various sex acts which involve urine, although as soon as those acts are concluded they immediately go to find a source of water to wash themselves off with, in line with their fastidious cleanliness. The most common for that this takes is "marking", where, having just bred a partner, the top will urinate on the bottom's backside and genitals. There doesn't seem to be any actual effect from this, since the smell is easily washed away and in any case xenomorphs do not seek to "posses" a sexual partner; their relationships are almost always casual.
Many other kinks have also been observed; one xenomorph developed a penchant for wearing latex examination gloves during intercourse, while some others have grown quite fond of requesting visiting scientists to bring them bondage harnesses of various types.
Sex toys have quickly became known as a way to ingratiate oneself with a hive; from the drones up to the king himself, they all enjoy dildos, vibrators, plugs, and anal beads, and bringing some to give as gifts is an excellent way to become well-liked quickly.
Conclusion** :**
Whether you read this piece to study up before visiting a xenomorph hive for yourself, or whether you were simply curious, I thank you for taking interest in this fascinating species, and encourage you to read more from the many other books and articles that exist on the subject. You can find a list of my citations on the rear of this pamphlet. Until next time, dear reader!
