"There where five sexes on Tralfamadore, each of them preforming a step neccisary in the creation of a new individual. They looked identical to Billy because thier sex differences were all in the fourth dimension. "One of the biggest moral bombshells handed to Billy by the Tralfamadorians, incidentlly, had to do with sex on Earth. They said their flying-saucer crews had identified no fewer that seven sexes on Earth, each essential to reproduction. Again: Billy couldn't possibly imagine what five of those seven sexes had to do with the making of a baby, since they were sexually active only in hte fourth dimension. "The Tralfamadorians tried to give Billy clues that would help him imagine sex in the invisible dimension. They told him that there could be no Earthling babies without male homosexuals. There could be babies without female homosexuals. There couldn't be babies without women over sixty-five years old. There could be babies without men over sixty-five. There couldn't be babies without other babies who had lived an houror less after birth. And so on. "It was gibberish to Billy." |
