Why doesn't the stereotipical alien have genitals?

Question

You know, the short green man with a big head and black almond shaped eyes.

And why don't they wear clothing? Pretty much every civilization learned to wear clothes before contact with eachother, they should have too.

And please don't bother answering with things saying that aliens don't exist. Thats not my question.

Answer 1

Probably the reason the alien doesn't have clothes is because they don't have genitals to cover up.

I believe that aliens have no means of sexually reproducing, which is why they study humans.  I'm sure you've heard the stories about aliens probing humans, particularly pregnant women, and then absconding and altering their babies.

So, to answer your question, the stereotypical alien is based on people's theories on real aliens.

Answer 2

In the Alien autopsy (Real Of Not)

They accually did have genitals.

Answer 3

This question's been asked since the 1970's, and was answered by the author of "The Walton Experience" (a movie was made by the title "Fire in the Sky", based on the book, and the author, Travis Walton, wrote both after an abduction experience... and the book was re-released after the movie with the movie title on it: "Fire in the Sky: The Walton Experience").

What we see of the "grey" aliens is, according to the author, an environmental suit. This would explain almost all of your question.

Answer 4

Playing along...

How do you KNOW that said alien wasn't in fact displaying it's genitals?

Hmmmm?

And perhaps they've evolved to the point that clothing is a fashion accessory and not a necessity?

Answer 5

I think that the reason for this coincides with the reason that they abduct humans: Because they can't sexually reproduce.  I don't know if they could at one time and can't now or what, but most abduction stories speak of the aliens taking a sample of the abductee's sperm, eggs, or sometimes very young unborn children.

I think that they are using our genes to continue their race by combining them with their own and making a hybrid race of half alien, half human beings.

As for the nudity, maybe since they have nothing to cover they just walk around in the buff without a care.  I mean, if you didn't have genitals to cover, would you really wear clothes?  Especially if you had a ship with the perfect living temperatures for your kind?  I think not.

Answer 6

They pee (and do other things) with their fingers. Didn't you see SM-3
