Aye, and Gomorrah
"Aye, and Gomorrah..." is a famous science fiction short story by Samuel R. Delany. It is the first short story Delany sold, and won the 1967 Nebula Award for best short story. Before it appeared in ''Driftglass'' and ''Aye, and Gomorrah, and other stories'', it first appeared as the final story in Harlan Ellison's seminal 1967 anthology, ''Dangerous Visions''. It was controversial because of its disturbing sexual subject matter, and has been called "one of the best stories by a gay man published in the 1960s." 〔http://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Gay-American-Novelists-Bio-Bibliographical/dp/0313280193〕
==Synopsis==
The narrative involves a world where astronauts, known as Spacers, are neutered before puberty to avoid the effects of space radiation on gametes. Aside from making them sterile, the neutering also prevents puberty from occurring and results in androgynous adults whose birth-sex is unclear to others. Spacers are fetishized by a subculture of "frelks", those attracted by the Spacers' unattainability and unarousability ("free-fall-sexual-displacement complex"). The mischief-loving Spacers exploit this for amusement and money — and possibly out of loneliness and a desire to recapture their lost sexuality.
"Frelk" is used as a derogatory term by the Spacers in the story, who nonetheless engage in prostitution by accepting money to give frelks the pseudo-sexual contact they desire.
