Now that we have the anatomy covered, let's discuss attraction, courting, and mating!

The two little Irken animations nodded happily.

But first, in order to experience any of this, we need to modify your paks so that your systems are no longer repressed. When this happens, you will both begin to feel some things that Irkens have not experienced in 1000 years! Your body will reach sexual maturity!

Two wires came down and attached to the Irkens paks, leaving them suspended in the air a moment. Some mechanical noises were heard and the Irkens were dropped.

You may experience some changes in your body such as growth!

The Irkens grew a few inches much to their excitement. Their chibi like bodies becoming leaner.

Females may develop some width to their hips, which will make birth easier. While males will develop more muscle tone. Males will also develop a muscle that has not been used before! This muscle allows your snorblast to move, extend and retract on it's own, and even at your own will!

The female became a little curvier in the hips and thighs, while the male flexed his own muscles, hos genitals exposing themselves, rotating, then retracting back into his body.

Both of you will begin releasing hormones that may make you feel urges to mate. These feelings will signal attraction and arousal. They will be triggered by pheramones that make these feelings known when you come in contact with a compatable mate!

The Irkens were suddenly giving off little plumes of pink or blue smoke. They leaned towards each other, sniffing the others smoke, and jumped back shakong their heads.

Oh! It looks like you two aren't quite compatible...breeding may still be possible, but you will not experience things as strongly together...not to worry though! There may still be another that you are compatible with!

Three more Irken female's came out, each giving off pink smoke. The male approached them and grabbed one that he was attracted to.

Great! Now that you've found a compatible female, know that our Irken females are a precious commodity. Even more so if you have found a compatible one! Though cloning has served our race well these past years, females are not typically viable in the process. Disgust between two mating partners may mean that you were cloned from too simmilar genes, and your bodies are preventing interbreeding. So, if you are lucky enough to find your compatible partner, treat them with respect!

The little Irkens nodded happily and held hands.

Good. Now, when you find your partner, your bodies will begin developing even more! Irkens do not reach full sexual maturity until they have came in contact with their compatable mate. We require the triggers our mate gives off in order to fully be ready for mating.

The irkens sniffed each other, the female acting surprised when the males snorblast came out.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves! Put that away for now...Before mating, comes courting, if you are lucky enough to be compatible, this will be easy. As long as you are not repulsed by your partner, mating is still possible.

Another two Irken couples came out. The first looked at each other and shrugged, the second looked at each other and pushed away from one another.

If you are repulsed, you must find another partner...if you are apathetic, give mating a shot and see what happens. Like I said, females are in few supply, so we must do what we can!

Now, when a partner is obtained, the courting phase begins. In this phase, you will both experience feelings that are either more intense than before, and new. You will feel protective and possessive of your partner, possibly even jealous should another come in contact, or show interest.

You will both crave the others presence and touch, though females may need a few extra steps in order to feel these things to their full effect. This is where courting comes in.

When courting, females become ready for mating when their instincts tell them that they have found a good partner. Strong, brave, intelligent, able to provide, possesive of her, ability to please her, and urge to father smeets...these are all things that you must show her you are capable of.

The little Irken males ran around doing various things to present these traits to the females, the compatible female looking more and more impressed, while the apathetic female looked nonplussed.

Once you have demonstrated these things effectively, your female will let you know when she is satisfied. She will be drawn to you and crave you...She will be more prone to being submissive, and will want to breed, though she may still want to be submitted...us Irkens are after all a stubborn race! Less compatible females, even when satisfied with your displays of ability, may need you to submit them.

Submission and submitting is the second stage to courting. In this stage, the couple is likely to test each other's obedience. You may not even realize you are doing it! If the female is willing to submit, she will do so willingly and without issue, If she is more willful, a display of your dominance over her is needed. Keep in mind, do not hurt your female, bit a show of force may be necessary. No female wants to mate a male that she feels more dominant than...you have to provide and protect for her after all...and weak males mean weak genes! She wants only the best for her smeets!

Now, when the first two courting stages are complete, next comes marking. When two Irkens have settled on their partner, scent marking is most important. Not only does this imprint your scent onto each other, a constant reminder of one to the other, it shows a claim has been laid to others. Scent marking also is an important part of getting each other ready to breed. Having your partners pheromones on you triggers your bodies to prepare for mating.

The female will produce a batch of eggs for maturation and fertilization by the male, and the males sacs will fill with sprem to fertilize the eggs.

When the time is right, males, know that you must fully arrouse your female. This could mean life or death for her and your smeets. If you fail to arrouse her fully, she may become egg bound and become terribly ill, or rupture something and bleed internally. Both can lead to death. And the death of your partner, may lead to your own death as well, or at the very least insanity. When we are away from a compatible partner in any stage of courting, it causes immense pain! Pain so bad, you may wish to die, but don't press that self destruct button Invaders!

The pain will not be a danger so long as you are in close proximity to your partner. The pain will no longer be as intense when seoerated for short ammounts of time once you have managed to mate...It will be even less of an issue once you have managed to breed and the smeets have been born.

Back to preparing to mate! The first step is physical affection and scent marking. Cuddleing, carressing, embracing, and kissing your partner are all things you can do. There are places you can touch on each other that will lead to arrousal. Such as the female's neck, should she allow you access this will be very exciting for you, as it is a show of submission. Your female will respond to your growls and purrs, and likewise for you to hers.

Antennai are another erogenous zone...as we know, they are very sensitive, so light touches are needed. a soft caress, light nibbles with the lips, or licks of the tongue are acceptable, and highly pleasureable.

Sharing each others fluids is also a way to become fully arroused. Both males and females secrete pheromone rich fluids from our genetalia, tasting these fluids, as well as sharing each other's saliva when kissing will be highly arrousing.

When the female is fully arroused, she will go into heat, and practically beg to be bred. When she is ready, her canal will be hot to the touch and will have been slightly exposed by her flaps swelling. This is to allow your snorblast acess to penetrate her.

When mating, you will penetrate the female, your snorblast releasing its ducts, which will penetrate her ova ducts to stimulate her eggs to mature.We have went over everything that happens on the inside...lets see what goes on on the outside.

The Irkens were now having sex, the male thrusing into the female while in the missionary position. Her lower stomach became a little buldged as her eggs developed and the male filled her with prosteck fluid.

Good! Now, when her eggs are ready to descend, she will get a little more desperate to climax. Remember, if you don't want your female egg bound, you must get her to climax! You can stimulate her outside as well as rutting a little harder...If you are lucky enough to be an apex male, you may also have a lesser snorblast that will extend from your folds at this point...the lesser snorblast has a proseteck of its own, and will deposit its fluids anally into the female, allowing her not only more pleasure, but she will absorb its nutrients directly into her blood stream via her squeedelyspooch. This will further ensure that the smeets will be strong and healthy.

When the eggs have dropped into the smooch, the male will ejaculate his sprem. The snorblast will swell, plugging the female. It may take some time until it goes down enough to retract. If you have a lesser snorblast, it will also swell and will ejaculate a mucus plug just as the main snorblast does. This will ensure that all nutrients are absorbed by her. As the female is filled, her stomach will inflate. With the mucus plug in place, nothing will come out for the duration of her pregnancy. Like stated before, you will have to reinforce the mucus plug occasionally or as often as you both want.

While your female is egg laden...it is your job to provide, protect, and care for her. You wont have much time to feed yourself, so it is imperitive that you have your female nurse off of your snorblast often. This not only provides her and your smeets with nutrition, but will trigger her body to make melk.

Her melk is of course for the smeets when hatched, but in the meantime, it is for your nourishment. It is also your duty to feed from your mate as much as possible. The more you nurse from her, the more her body will make, and your smeets wilk need a lot of melk.

And no worries, you will both feel driven to nurse from each other.

The next step is birth. When the females water breaks, the scent of the gestational fluid will trigger the male into arrousal...but this arousal is different. This mating will be gentile and leangthy. The male will secrete the needed hormone to make the female dialate for birth. The males snorblast will swell to double its size and rotate to stretch the female and allow the egg sack safe passage with plenty of lubrication.

The sack will emerge, the males lubrication hardening over it for protection. Now you must both care for the eggs until your victorious smeets emerge into the world! Congratulations you two, you have done well for the Irken race! Once your female has had a month to recover, you can start on your next clutch!

Jacklyn stared at the screen, her eyes nearly falling out of her skull...what in the hell!? Is that really how they did this!? It was similar enough to human procreation...but all of the weird shit!? How was she supposed to do any of this!?
