A human and hexapod walk together, inspecting a field of siren’s sapphire. Their hazmat suits protect them from the potent effects of the flower’s pollen. When inhaled, this pollen is actually an incredibly powerful aphrodisiac that is frequently commercially farmed and harvested for obvious reasons.

It’s theorized that the sweet-smelling pollen draws animals in, and the aphrodisiac quality ensures that multiple are together and around the plant for extended periods of time, leading to many of the plant's burrs to catch in the animals fur. Then when the animals move on they carry the plants seeds far away to spread it even further.

Humans have been using siren pollen recreationally for hundreds of years. In the modern day, it’s harvested and sold across the entire galaxy for its ability to boost libido and skin sensitivity in any species. It comes in many forms:

- Plain jarred pollen.
- Nasal sprays.
- Drinks. Usually small shots like 5-hour energys, y’know?
- Candles. The effect from candles kicks in slower but lasts for a long and more steady period of time.
- Soaps and massage bars. This world’s version of Lush is definitely all over this shit. It's a common misconception that these have any impact, but you actually need to inhale or consume the pollen in some way to get horny.
- Pills. A very small amount of the pollen is placed into over-the-counter pills that can be taken once a day to improve libido and sexual function. These are very commonly paired with antidepressants. (Though, of course, huge doses are also found within some gas station dick pills.)

It should be noted that no matter the dose, people are still sound of mind and not mentally impaired in any way afterward. Workers only wear hazmat suits because being absurdly horny every single day while trying to work gets real annoying real fast. It’s not healthy either. Those boners would definitely last way longer than 4 hours.

Why yes I did use speculative biology (or, botany, in this case.) to make fanfiction sex pollen canon in my world. AND I deconstructed it while I was at it, you can’t stop me! But, describing worldbuilding sure is hard though. I feel like I talk like ChatGPT. Anyways, this pic was a good chance to show how huge hexapods really are. The one I normally draw, Aroo, is actually super short for their species.

Also AUHGJGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I wrote this entire thang and fuckin reloaded the page and lost it all so sorry if it sucks eeeeeeeek
