Several species have disguised themselves as human and then engaged in sex with other humans whilst disguised, such as the [[Zygon]] [[Kritakh]] who had sex with [[Lauren Anderson]], ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough (home video)|Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough]]'') the [[Arcateen]] [[Mary (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|Mary]] with [[Toshiko Sato]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Greeks Bearing Gifts (TV story)|Greeks Bearing Gifts]]'') and [[Asquith Slitheen|a member]] of the [[Slitheen family]] disguised as [[Oliver Charles]] who, around early [[2006]], enjoyed a number of sexual encounters with Oliver's wife, mistress and a young farmer. ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'') | |||
It was also known for the [[Shadow Kin]] to have sex. [[Corakinus]] was described as having “the colours of the mate” before he had sex with [[Kharrus]]. However, intimacy was considered a disgusting practice during sex by the Shadow Kin. Kharrus was appalled when Corakinus, under the influence of April MacLean's heart, asked her if they could cuddle. ([[TV]]: ''[[Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)|Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart]]'') | |||
[[Kragoom]], a [[Great Old One]], shagged [[planet]]s to death. He once tried to do the business with [[Trull]], but [[Iris Wildthyme]] and [[Wayne Bland II]] thwarted him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Iris Wildthyme Appreciation Society (audio story)|The Iris Wildthyme Appreciation Society]]'') | |||
[[Rhodian|Rhodians]] like [[Charlie Smith]] were capable of having sex with humans. ([[TV]]: ''[[Nightvisiting (TV story)|Nightvisiting]]'') [[Quill (species)|Quill]] were also capable of having sex with [[Lorr|Lorrs]], at least when both were in a humanoid shape. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did (TV story)|The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did]]'') | |||
=== Humans === | |||
Humans were well known for having sex often, enough that [[John Hart]] complained that, "it's all just sex, sex, sex with you people." ([[TV]]: ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]'') | |||
A time travelling human could have sex with a non-time traveller, as demonstrated by [[Chris Cwej]] and his sexual partner [[David Daniels]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Damaged Goods (novel)|Damaged Goods]]'') | |||
In [[2005]], following the [[Dummy Massacre]], [[Artie D]] responded to [[Doctor Who?]]'s request for sightings of the then missing [[Rose Tyler]], saying that she looked like a [[girl]] he entirely failed to "get off with" at a [[party]] in [[Islington]] since she "swan off" after [[Ninth Doctor|this other chap]] came up and said something about a different [[planet]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Doctor Was Involved in the Dummy Massacre (short story)|The Doctor Was Involved in the Dummy Massacre]]'') | |||
By the [[21st century]], humans did not need to have sex to reproduce — the males donated [[sperm]] and it was injected into the females by [[syringe]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Out of Time (TV story)|Out of Time]]'') [[Carys Fletcher]] worked as a temporary [[secretary]] at [[Conway Clinic|such a clinic]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day One (TV story)|Day One]]'') However, the majority of humans continued to have sex during this period, such as [[Jack Harkness]] and [[Ianto Jones]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Adrift (TV story)|Adrift]]'') | |||
[[Owen Harper]] had always thought that the [[1950s]] were "uptight" and "sexually repressed" until he met [[Diane Holmes]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Out of Time (TV story)|Out of Time]]'') | |||
After becoming a couple, [[Charlie Smith]] and [[Matteusz Andrzejewski]] had sex. ([[TV]]: ''[[Nightvisiting (TV story)|Nightvisiting]]'') Matteusz would later consider that having sex with Charlie had made their shared bed in his room a warm and comforting place. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Joyride (novel)|Joyride]]'') | |||
=== Time Lords === | |||
By most accounts, Time Lords were implied to be capable of sexual procreation. Both [[the Doctor]] and [[the Master]] claimed to have fathers. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'', ''[[The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)|The Fires of Pompeii]]'') | |||
One account of Gallifrey's history suggested that sex had ceased to have a reproductive function on [[Gallifrey]] long before the Doctor's time. According to this school of thought, the "[[Pythia]]'s Curse" had made Gallifreyans effectively sterile. Reproduction was carried out by the carefully controlled use of [[Loom]]s, which produced new Time Lords as fully-formed adults. No direct genetic relationships were therefore possible. Time Lords arising from the same [[Great House|House]] — for each House had only one Loom — were considered "cousins". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') | |||
A [[Leela and Andred's first child|child]] born of [[Leela]] (a human) and [[Andred (The Invasion of Time)|Andred]] was the first naturally concieved child in a millennia. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', ''[[Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide]]'', ''[[Jealous, Possessive (short story)|Jealous, Possessive]]'') | |||

The [[Tenth Doctor]] also described the possibility of genetically collateral relationships when he told [[Martha Jones]] he didn't have a brother "any more". ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'') | |||
==== The Doctor ==== | |||
The Doctor was not educated in sex by his parents. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') | |||
There were occasional hints that the Doctor did indeed have sex. [[Bernice Summerfield]] and the Doctor might have had sex soon after he regenerated into his [[Eighth Doctor|eighth body]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'') Summerfield seemed to confirm the incident when they met again at a later date. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Benny's Story (audio story)|Benny's Story]]'') | |||
"Dancing" was a euphemism for sex used by the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Rose Tyler]]. The Doctor said he had "danced" before and raised the question of who [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] would like to "dance" with: himself or Rose. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Dances (TV story)|The Doctor Dances]]'') | |||
{{quote|900 years old, me. I've been around a bit. I think you can assume at some point I've "danced".|[[Ninth Doctor]]|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}} | |||
The [[Tenth Doctor]] apparently had something of an eye for royal women, as he later had a brief marriage with [[Elizabeth I]]. After promising to be "right back" but fleeing her, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') he stopped just short of telling [[Ood Sigma]] that her nickname, "the [[Virgin]] Queen", was no longer accurate. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') Just after accidentally proposing to her, the Doctor quipped, "The Virgin Queen? So much for history." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') The Doctor's sexual involvement with Elizabeth I was later hinted at by future Queen [[Liz 10]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'') and by the [[Dream Lord]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Amy's Choice (TV story)|Amy's Choice]]'') Although the Doctor never did consummate the relationship; having fled after the marriage. (TV: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') | |||
The topic of sex was rather humorously referenced and unintentionally discussed between the Tenth Doctor and his companion, [[Donna Noble]]. When discussing the dangers of travelling with him, and with the Doctor admitting he just wanted a friend, he used the word "mate". Donna, being aware of the Doctor being an alien, completely misunderstood and took his use of the word as him wanting to have sex with her, which she vehemently refused to do. The matter was (mostly) resolved afterwards, but Donna was still rather put off at the idea of copulating with the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Partners in Crime (TV story)|Partners in Crime]]'') | |||
[[Amy Pond]], following a near-death experience with the [[Weeping Angel]]s, attempted to seduce the Doctor's [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh incarnation]]. Though he refused, he implied in answer to her question that he hadn't had sex in "a while". ([[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'') | |||
[[River Song]] intimated on several occasions that she and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] had (or will have, from his perspective) a sexual relationship. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'', ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'') Their eventual [[marriage]] seemed to support this as well; the Doctor claimed to [[Dorium Maldovar]] that River's nights spent in prison were between her and himself. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') | |||
==== TARDISes ==== | |||
[[Marie (Alien Bodies)|Marie]] (a [[Type 103]] [[TARDIS]]) was mated with a [[Type 105]] on [[Simia KK98]] by the Time Lords to produce another TARDIS within her, which was taken away from her shortly after its birth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'') | |||

([[TV]]: ''[[Adam (TV story)|Adam]]'') | |||
[[James Stevens]] once had a one night stand with a girl named [[Natasha (Who Killed Kennedy)|Natasha]], much to the dismay of his wife, also named [[Natasha Stevens|Natasha]], who left him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') | |||

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dark (audio story)|The Dark]]'') | |||
