Why do so many good Sci-fi stories decide to take a detour and discuss humans having sex with Martians?

Oh...


You should have had to deal with that class. In one day, we learned that: “Take my daughter, please! And I’ll give you a lot of elephants.”
-Professor Olga Davidson, on dowery, versus Dower.
“This radical new move is to sell your own vulva.” -Professor O. Davidson, on the innovations of Islamic marriage
“Why not just say, my vulva is your vulva, let’s share it?” -Professor Davidson, on WHy bother
“That’s why all those sex abuse cases happen: ‘Father, I masturbated.’ ‘Ooh, can you show me how?’” -Professor Davidson, getting sidetracked onto sex in Judaism and Christianity, after having been corrected that yes, Judaism does pay attention to the sex drive.

Just one of those days, I guess. And really- it was an abstract complaint, because the short story I was just reading decided to seque from discussing poetry, religion, dance, linguistics and translation to sex between a human and a martian, with no particular reason. Otherwise a good story, though. I don't mind so much, it's just that it was so utterly random...
