Planet Organtalia

©GeraldineBanksJuly2024

The hypothesis that life exists elsewhere in the solar system is hard to disagree with. Why should planet Earth be the only planet that has developed into what we regard as a sophisticated society? While there is disagreement on our level of sophistication and civilisation, we have evolved to be what we are today, and indeed this story; though a fiction describes a society that develops, through an embryonic incident in a way that addresses our very often threatening and histrionic approach to our reproductive organs and their role in society.

You laugh, sex as a weapon, but it is and it’s used as an expression of control, not just by organised religion but by all levels of Society where sex is used to shame people or indeed an excuse to put people to trial and kill them. Perhaps, there is a better way and hopefully my story will explore those possibilities .

Planet Organtalia exists in a far away universe, it has a climate like Earth and has developed a complex society just like Earth. It has large cities and lots of ocean, there are places on it that stay undiscovered and places of learning in big cities, with anthropologists and archaeologists who regularly discuss the benefits of leaving well enough alone when it comes to indigenous people in remote areas, and also who have studied in depth the origin of society’s development, looking at ritual sites and the behaviours of indigenous people. This has been critical to learning how Organtalia Society can achieve the best for all of it’s inhabitants.

What began in the embryo, has been used to advantage, having your reproductive organs visible on your head and your vocal cords in your waste producing organs can have it’s advantages.

All Organtalia,s people have one thing in common. Their genitalia are external and as they have developed as bipeds their sexual organs, be they women or men are on their heads , they breath through a mouth in their chest and they have super sensors around their body which act as their eyes, ears and nose. They communicate language through orifices located at the top of their legs that they use for urination and defecation The language expresses thoughts and opinions as sophisticated as anything on Earth, but which to an Earthling would sound ridiculous, it’s basically a Morse Code of farting and squelching.

It’s a fact that Organtalia’s embryonic development was very different from Earth and as a result they have developed a completely different status quo. For example , there is no such thing as good looks, to all intents and purposes , penises on men and vaginas on women are very similar structures in each male and female gender. So physical attraction and racial differentiation is effectively redundant. There is little point in wearing make up or even choosing a different hair style when you have a sexual organ on your head. There is a slight variation in in colour or size, but everyone’s appearance on Organtalia is effectively the same, everyone does look very like each other.

For some people on our Earth, that is boring and the industry that has grown around “being attractive”, which is invasive in everything we do on Earth, even going to a job interview at a lowly Saturday job. The attractive person has a better chance than the unattractive person. It’s not what you say, it’s how you look. The “Hollywood Mentality” has infiltrated all areas of Society .

But it isn’t boring on Organtalia, having their most tactile and sensitive organs on the top of their heads actually leads to behaviours that encourage healthy interaction at all levels of society and at all ages and in all situations be it work or play. There is no sexual violence, from babyhood to adulthood, the pleasure and sensation of interacting with those around them is titillating, but most definitely not abusive. It is pretty orgasmic.

Organtalia’s people greet each other by rubbing their heads together, this means their meetings are always most pleasurable and in effect produce a bond in society that reduces violent tendencies and this titillation is regarded as an enhancement to daily life.

Early on in Organtalia’s societal development,( well actually in cave dwelling days), where primitive drawings on cave walls show that it was recognised that although the titillation and interaction had benefits, the organs were also required for reproduction.

This had more serious implications and as the sexual act of intercourse to achieve sperm transferral was discovered by primitive people to be quite traumatic or even dangerous for the participants. Rituals were developed early on to help with the process.

Of course in the early days it was trial and error and mistakes were made by the pre-historic Organtalian’s. They were confused about the stimulus they experienced when interacting with one another, this confusion was expressed in the cave drawings which caused great interest among the psycho-sexual anthropologists. Studies show that they adapted and realised that successful procreation only occurred when the sexual organs were mature and that when the female had started menstruating and that intercourse was not indeed necessary in social interaction.

Homosexual relations were depicted on the cave drawings and these were successful as different orifices were used for intercourse; these ways were indeed safer than reproduction and developed in society to such an extent that the percentage of mature adult mixed sexual liaisons was the same as mature adult same sex liaisons in Modern Society. The role in society of same sex relations became important as an emotional and stable part of Organtalia’s society.

Female menstruation was indeed altogether another challenge. In primitive societies it had been accepted that a woman would restrict her social activities during menstruation and that public baths and washing areas would be available, or indeed washing in a stream for the lesser well off.

With the onset of the need for women to play a greater role in society , to work and to contribute economically to progress, medicines were developed to control menstruation and indeed stop it when necessary, so it did not become an impediment to a woman participating fully in society.

Once this was established; the onset of puberty and the erratic growth of hair on the head was taken as a sign that once partners were willing; that procreation was to be encouraged. This indeed was practical, as the purpose of the rather complex method of impregnation was to produce progeny for the planet.

The need to produce progeny had been part of the early primitives group decision and ritual ceremonies were instigated for everyone to recognise the importance of the process and its safety for the protagonists. Sound familiar? Like the coming of age ceremonies for young boys in Africa and Australia on Earth. These of course were of great interest to the anthropologists. Primitive Organtellian’s would have found the procedure of genital mutilation, practiced by some on Earth totally mystifying. What is the role of that they would have wondered?

For modern Organtallian’s, procreation is a very sophisticated process. A medical and a thorough explanation of the process by medical staff is mandatory. The social interaction with each other , where penises and vaginas were continually titillating each other in a playful and sensitive manner was so pleasurable. For mature Organtellian’s ,it was quite a leap of faith to engage in what initially to them seemed a repugnant process. A process that was historically proven to harm the neck muscles, the spine and indeed in some instances cause fatalities.

There were diagrams and talks from medical staff that described that the first intercourse involved some pain, bruising and bleeding and that they would be encouraged to take some time out of their busy lives and enjoy the benefits of the Government Sex Hotels which had specially designed beds, swimming pools and massage that would make the process so much more enjoyable. There would also be support nurses for those who became overwhelmed by the process.

There certainly was a choice for Orgentalians, society was in a good place, there were enough couples willing to take the plunge and procreate and use the well resourced facilities to make sure a successful outcome. There was no pressure to have babies, and there were also information and advice available for same sex couples who had decided that they wanted to have children.

The birth of a new baby in itself was very much celebrated by everyone. But the birth itself was very much a private matter, with only friends of family allowed to attend. The arrival of a small infant out of a head required medical intervention, particularly to make sure that the birth giver was able to breathe and did not suffer loss of blood or oxygen. The success rate was high, about 90%, but there were risks involved for the mother and the baby.

In summary Organtallian Society, has developed successfully. There is a cohesive force field of tactile communication that seems to bond all of the various societies and countries within the planet. Sex is not an issue.

Verbal communication through defecation and urinary organs, in other words ” that person is talking through their asshole” is not regarded as an insult. Language used in broadcasting and debating political issues, is sophisticated and all the normal conflicts and legal disagreements are dealt with, through government debate chambers. There are no wars, because it’s hard to get upset at someone who is farting and squelching at you. There is no Celebrity Culture or prejudice, because people look the same and always have a tactile pleasure in each other’s company. Sometimes words are not necessary and in Organtallia’s society, they often aren’t.
