Maybe it's xenologist.
In any case, I was looking through my sci-if magazines and found an interesting story (I'll edit the correct title in when I find it I believe it was "the fluidity of her movements"). The story is about a ballerina who gets hired by an anthropologist to wear a costume that makes her look like a female alien. The aliens have elaborate dances as part of their mating rituals so the anthropologist hopes the ballerina can learn to copy the dances. Of course, since it's mating rituals, they had to be ready. For if she succeeded.
It's not erotic, in fact, she gets a bruised rib (luckily the costume has an artificial vagina as the males' penises are described as a weird mix of echidna, cat and horse). But it got me thinking, what if there was a story about an anthropologist who was studying primitive alien species and un/intentionally got involved with their mating practices?
