Sci-fi idea: pleasure planet

[Brandnewbuddy]

So I’ve been revisiting Star Trek lately and one of the things I forgot about was how every episode that featured Risa sucked. Like the idea is that it’s a pleasure planet where all these species can come for a vacation/casual sex…and the episodes we get are: Picard is miserable the entire time he’s there, Worf becomes a terrorist because Dax won’t talk to him about their relationship issues, and Enterprise’s episode is really boring

so anyway: what if we took the concept of an interstellar pleasure planet where all kinds of different species could get together to have a nice vacation and/or bone down but made it actually fun and sexy?


1. Married couple are supposed to have their honeymoon on a different planet as they’ve heard of lots of marriages falling apart if it happens on (Let’s call it Eros). But they used an alien travel agency so when an ion storm delays their trip the agency automatically upgrades and changes their package to Eros.

Couple takes it in stride though they secretly worry their partner is thinking they would cheat while they also secretly wouldn’t mind having a good time with some of the other vacationing couples. Eventually misunderstandings are cleared up and the two actually have a stronger relationship afterwards once they get to show each other their freak flag

2. Local working at one of the hotels is surprised when a new alien species arrives. Turns out they wanted first contact to be on Eros because they are interested in interspecies sex. Only thing is, the employee has no idea how to pleasure this truly bizarre alien.

3. Married man stops by for a quick hook up. Next year he and his wife come to the planet and he finds that his hook up is significantly older and she now has two adult sons who have his eyes: turns out he had sex with a species that has a very short lifespan and his sons are very interested in his wife. If that would break the rules, it could instead be a time dilation thing.

4. Anthropology students so commonly use Eros as a planet for their practicum that they are effectively used as interns and universities are getting tired of sponsoring studies that end up just being a series of hook ups. On the other hand: sex is about the only thing to write papers on in regards to the planet. To try and save her scholarship, one student decides to participate in extreme interspecies relations: where her partners are almost indescribable much less humanoid

Sounds like it'd be a fun set up for a bunch of otherwise unrelated stories.

It's a solid idea. But a pleasure planet is enormous in it's scope. Creating a space station like Babylon Five or perhaps a space cruiseliner like the Fifth Element, would shrink that just enough to be plausible.

A young man or woman is caught stowing away on some sort of cargo ship. When caught they are saved rough treatment by a captain who's a decent guy or gal. They take the young person under their wing but it turns sexual before too long. Eventually though they are left on our space station which is known across the galaxy for it's wild red-light district. Which is where our young person finds themselves.

As for aliens though, the sky is the limit. Keep it as simple is the largely humanoid species in most sci-fi or go full-on Mort and Ricky, with some really weird shit.

I fully agree with this.

I can already picture a couple around 21 years old, stowed away on an alien ship that docked that the space station. They get off the ship and run into one of the managers on the space ship.

"Oh Earthlings? You are far away from home. Looks like you don't belong here."
They apologize profusely and the manager realizes they are stow-aways.

"Don't worry, this is the Eutopia-bliss-X everyone is welcome here for a good time. However people come here to either spend money or earn money, so which is it?"

The two admit that they don't have any money and the manager tells them that they can have sex for money here.

"Well, I'm sure she can, but I doubt anyone would want to pay for me to have sex." The guy says a bit dissappointed.

"Oh right, earthlings, with you the males pursue the females. Don't worry that isn't the case with all species, there are plenty that would want to pay for you!" The manager replies.

The manager sets them up with an understanding couple, they are regulars and won't throw a fuss if they back out. They will all be in the same room to make it easier for them the first time. However the alien species, even though they have anatomy close to humans, is about 33% taller than humans. The males have a hard exoskeleton on their chest and a tongue that can extend 1ft. outside of their mouth. Their dicks are also 33% larger on avarage. The females have their extra height mostly because of a second pair of breasts, however they are slender and very flexible. Their greyish skin is soft to the touch.
The young couple gets aroused at the sight of the sensual aliens.

A few of us got together to create a common setting as an orbital ring around a pleasure planet. The project didn't take off, but you can get an introduction to it in Xanadu: Red Light

Yeah, but you don't need to cover the whole planet, just where they are in a region. In Star Wars, Star Trek, or even The Orville, they don't explore, or show an entire planet, outside of viewing, or moving around it. In my story Spare Parts; the characters are only ever in two places, the nearest city, or the shipyard, where the ship is being repaired and outfitted. Before that, on earth, he's only shown trying to buy a ship, and flying over the city trying to escape police, and leave orbit.

"I hate pleasure planets," he growled. "Every time I go to one, the sexbots kidnap me and force me to decommission them."

"I hate pleasure planets," he growled. "They don't tell you when you land, but it isn't your pleasure they're talking about."

"I hate pleasure planets," he growled. "The brochures give such cheap prices, but the sales tax on stuff like lube and condoms are 3,000 percent!"

Someone please write a story titled I Hate Pleasure Planets

You're completely correct. I'm just saying that an entire planet dedicated to pleasure is a huge stretch of the imagination, compared to a smaller venue.

"Single-biome planets" are a classic trope in stuff like Star Wars and Star Trek, though! The Forest Planet, the Ice Planet, etc.

I could imagine a scifi setting where there are just thousands and thousands of habitable-but-unpopulated planets available, so sentient species could just pick and choose the best parts of a planet to develop, and not touch the rest of it.

So you could totally have a planet that had like a really pleasantly temperate equatorial zone with lots and lots of islands and archipelagos, which has basically all been developed into a planet-spanning beachfront resort

I think I'd participate if that became an event.

I get that. The premise could lead to many stories too. Especially if the planet is temperate all year long, like a forever summer or spring. We better be careful, or it could end up like anothe Amorous Goods project.

 

[JonathanBair]

I always though it could be fun if you looked into the other "lost 99" that Odo was apart of... In DS9 I think they mentioned like 10 or 11 was found.... This thread gave me a idea for a SRP idea.. LOL

The land mass is wonderful and all, but I would rather build my city out at sea.. Have apart of it above the ocean and build down with all the homes and stuff below the water line...

 

[AlinaX]

The best way to describe iVanla is as a giant ice cream cone made of glass, a kilometre wide at the rim, two kilometres deep at the point. Ninety percent of the population lives within a hundred metres of the ocean surface; those who live and work in the depths are a breed apart, reviled by society but essential to its secret vices.

I was kind of thinking that if you made a story about a pleasure planet, and fully embraced the sex aspects of it, you could probably do something akin to a planetwide Hedo resort.

I love the idea of everyone in security being doms.
