Why is Sci Fi so Horny?

Ever wonder why some science fiction delves deep in to eroticism as part of its multifaceted explorations of the universe while others seem like they'd get quite constipated at the idea of so much as holding hands?

Well, I did.
Here's a video containing some of what I learned.

01:24 The origins of sci-fi and its relationship to reproduction
02:03 Weird reproduction in Greek Mythology
02:16 Sex and Sci-fi's lengthy history at the movies
03:15 The banishing of sex in Sci-fi for 30 years of books and movies
04:34 A restless world in need of sexy sci-fi
05:18 Heinlein opens the flood gates to all the sexy sci-fi
06:11 How sci-fi got all repressed again, maybe

In case you're curious where I got any of the nutty ideas for this video, here are some links to the writing of smart folks, and at least one video:

Should anyone be even slightly curious what qualifies me to chat at the huddled YouTube masses about horniness, here's a like to a book that I may or may not have had something to do with putting together:

Thanks for visiting the channel.
I am something of an antisocial eccentric, but I am actively trying to be more of a blessing than a curse to my fellow writers.
