on earth practically everything has a gender, even plants. I think the aliens would have a queen reproduction system. Basically one queen (doesn't mean female) would be responsible for giving birth to thousands maybe billions of aliens. There would be lots of queens, with different gene-pools and killing the queen would be instant regicide and genocide so they are strongly defended.

Most of the aliens are born sterile, so the death of a queen before it makes another queen is the end of the ancestry

OT - Pragmatically is a word?!?!?!!!!

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

They will be a-blam!-.

Lol it is possible, but that would ruin OP's dreams of alien sex.

Did you just read Ender's Game?

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

But OP, what about the other Aliens that aren't those Aliens?

Mreh.

This sounds a lot like a particular species from Ender's Game.

Don't punch a British kid, the queen'll come after you.

They would have whichever reproduction system was advantageous in their environment.

good question, how sophisticated can this species become if they are prone to going extinct at the death one aliigatorostrichgorrilathing.

maybe they have higher intelligence that keeps this from happening.

I don't need no stinking signature!

I'm sure aliens will use all kinds of reproductive forms, just like earth creatures do.

Having males and females is expected because it is the most efficient system to mix up genes, creating diversity which boosts a species' survival chances.

I am a monument to all your sins

They could have any known reproduction system, or even one that we haven't even thought of yet. Their aliens, its impossible to predict what they would be like.

You do know there is something known as a-blam!- reproduction.

Also just because something happens on our planet doesn't mean it happens on another.
