==The Marring Man Plan or The Caper Unfolded== Ch.3
"We could make him one of our family, Join with him." She said to her Joined.
"And why would a human male be interested in Joining with us?" her Joined replied.
"Because their matings are such lengthy affairs. Recall that they are always engaged in the mating dance. Thus they form bonds between individuals of either sex so as to provide them with access to a mating partner on a protracted basis.
This pair bonding of theirs as you recall is little different from our own Joining in forming families, except that there primary motivation is the production of offspring rather then the rearing of them." Doxy reported.
"You have said nothing to mitigate the confusion I have, why would a human male Join with us?" Her Joined, Roxy, was very perplexed.
"We will be his mating partners." Doxy spoke in somber tones.
"That is absurd, we are of a completely differently species no offspring could ever be produced." Roxy countered conclusively.
"Human males care only very little in actually reproducing, they care more for the dance itself." Doxy rejoined with conviction.
"And why would this human male even be willing to dance with a non human?" Foxy chimed in.
"Have you not seen the most explicit of the human porn files? There is a section devoted to a form of human mating that while prohibited by legal statute demonstrates that some of them are so consumed by their mating dance that they will even engage in the dance with lower species native to their own world, this type of mating with lower species is termed bestiality."
"And this human you have met engages in bestiality?" Roxy wanted to know.
"No! He was revolted and deeply ashamed that I had even learned of such "acts" in their files!" Doxy reported.
"Your words cross back on themselves again and again! I asked why this human would be willing to Join with us and all you tell me is one reason after another as to why he won't." Roxy complained.
"The matter is most complex, I know. But I will endeavor to make all clear to you. As you have seen, though we are very different species we do largely resemble one another. And further as you have seen the females of their species engage in a myriad of practices to alter their appearance in ways to artificially produce appropriate visual cues for the stimulus of their males. An example of this is their cranial hair growth that is but one of their many artful alterations that they engage in."
"Truly you strike me dumb! We have no hair cranial or other wise to alter, again the more you tell of us their mating desires the more you prove we are not suitable in the least!" Roxy countered again.
"We can add to ourselves false hair or even substitute hair growth upon the cranium with a suitable garment as needed." Doxy rejoined.
"How would even an addled human male be fooled by such false appearances that would obviously be the result?"
"The males would not be fooled, rather it is that they do not care overly much about the veracity of ones appearance. Have you not noticed the females applying pigments to their finger tips and mouth edges? They do so in plain sight of their males, no attempt to conceal this is made. I have learned that the males often are stimulated by such pigments, though it seems that many of the females choose pigments that the males are not stimulated by."
"Why would they choose pigments that are not stimulating?" This time it was Foxy who asked.
"I have asked and received no good answer, except "fashion"".
"And what is this "fashion""?
"I admit I have not followed up on this topic. My investigation has been more focused on how to induce a male to Join with us. The fashion area is of concern to their females alone, almost none of the males would deign to speak of it."
"Were there not even some males that took an interest in "fashion"? Foxy was curious.
"Yes oddly there were a few, about 1 in 10 males I have spoken to found it a topic of deep interest. Even more oddly they also had no interest in coupling with their females. But the influence these particular males had on the fashions the women chose was extraordinary!"
"Their mating desires have driven this race insane!" this was Roxy's solemn conclusion.
"Of that there can be no doubt. But we digress, if I might continue. We can alter our appearance to make ourselves more sexually desirable to the human males." Doxy returned the focus of the conversation back to her original point.
"With the human females engaging in this "fashion" which most of their males care not a wit for, and the majority of their males unwillingly to speak of it, how will we know which alterations the 9 out of 10 males care for?" Foxy was concerned.
