Ok, so lets say intelligent aliens that can space travel turn out to be real. What do you imagine they would look like and what would their goals be? What planet would they be from?

Definitely the best idea I've ever heard for a unique take on alien life. There is a huge, awesome book to be written about interactions with this species and I won't be writing it. But I hope someone does

I found it a bit difficult to communicate with the Martians, not least because I would endure a very distracting amount of sexual pleasure with every word uttered by or to me. In hindsight I maybe could've made some sort of device to communicate for me, but perhaps that would've been taken by the Martians as a bit cold and distant.

I still think this form of communication is an interesting idea, and I've considered adding it to my conworld, but the problem is that I cannot imagine any real reason why the Martians would evolve to communicate in this way.
