The comic was originally published in ten comic books, at which time the contents were collected into five graphic novel compilations. Each graphic novel also added a new story (generally a second look at characters from an earlier story such as the superhero Orgasm Lass and her four-armed male sidekick Fourplay). These new stories were compiled separately in a final, eleventh issue of the comic book; since then, a sixth graphic novel (with an all-new story) has been published. In 2004 Studio Foglio released ''[[
The comic series was highly acclaimed for both its artwork and story that, while employing sexually explicit content, maintained an artistic quality that many comic book critics felt was superior to the more standard fare of this genre. In the stories of the anthology, Foglio satirizes numerous plot elements of fantasy and science fiction, such as time travel, cloning, robots, deals with the devil,
Although there are numerous sexual practices portrayed in the series, including "oral sex, anal sex, group sex, masturbation, voyeurism, double penetration, inter-racial (literally), bestiality (although generally with an animal possessing intelligence), mild sado-masochism, homosexuality (usually female), exhibitionism, sex with any number of devices, necrophilia (or sex with a ghost, anyway; ectophilia, perhaps?), prostitution, and every single position and combination imaginable, including some that were only possible in micro-gravity", Foglio's general emphasis throughout is on [[Sex Is Good|the enjoyment of sexuality as healthy and natural]], [[Moral Guardians|the sick bastard]].
As for darker directions, Foglio expressed no interest in writing stories involving: "Rape. Mind Control. Pedophilia. Classical necrophilia. Anything involving excretion. Snuff Porn. Branding. Piercing. Heavy S & M. or [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Spanking]]. Because it's not my cup of tea. If somebody wants to produce a happy sex positive story about pedophilic rapists who are into water sports and branding, [[Squick|THEN KEEP THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!]]"
The series is on an unofficial hiatus [[So My Kids Can Watch|while their kids are underage]], but some of the older stories have been collected on ''[[Slipshine]]''.
=== ''[[XX Xenophile]]'' provides examples (mostly parodies and subversions) of: ===▼
▲
* [[Accidental Truth]]: In "Time Piece," Franz claimed to recognize the cat as "A Rigellian! Greetings, space brother! Relax, your secret is safe!" This was {{spoiler|just made up as part of his role-playing as a time traveler}} ... but the cat is shown thinking, "He '''knows'''!"
* [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders]]: One story included priestess Otaz revealing that the half-orc villain was also the daughter of the priestess's god, Orum.
{{quote|
'''Otaz:''' She was wearing a ''cheerleader'' outfit.
'''Feljikk:''' That makes a ''difference''?
'''Otaz:''' Orum ''really'' likes cheerleaders, okay? }}
* [[All Trolls Are Different]]: S'møres, the huldra princess in
** [[Fridge Logic]] sets in for a Scandinavian with an interest in the folk tales
* [[Appease the Volcano God]]: The cover of ''[[
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The introduction to "Blue Opal":
{{quote|
* [[BFG]]: The cover of Collection #3.
* [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism]]: Many examples. For one, see ''Fridge Logic'' above.
* [[Bleached Underpants]]: The writer went on to write and draw ''[[Girl Genius]].'' Although when you look at how the girls (and most of the guys) are drawn, they're not ''that'' bleached.
* [[Bluffing the Advance Scout]]: In "My Favorite Oitling", the human explorer convinces the Martian warrior women that the huge suit of power armour that arrives to rescue him is a typical Earth female and so Earth will be too tough to invade.
* [[Boldly Coming]]: "My Favorite Oitling"
* [[Brother
* [[Can't You Read the Sign?]]: Many background gags.
* [[Caught
* [[Chained to
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: "Then we duel for you with chainsaws, like our primitive ancestors did!" [Pulls a roaring chainsaw out of [[Hammerspace]]]
* [[Cold Equation]]: Twisted for one story. The bomb shelter will only hold two, and the female character tells her two male companions that if she has to repopulate the Earth she wants to enjoy herself doing it, so "auditions" are now in order. {{spoiler|World War III did ''not'' just break out, she said it had as an excuse for threesome sex.}}
* [[Coitus Uninterruptus]]: "K'nitchers at an Exhibition"
* [[Cursed
* [[Curse Escape Clause]]
* [[Curse Is Foiled Again]]: "Bequeath the Sheets"
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: Too many to count.
* [[Deal

* [[Deus Sex Machina]]
Line 46 ⟶ 48:
* [[Ethical Slut]]
* [[Everyone Is Bi]]: Or at least all the girls are.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: The demonic embodiment of a family curse in "Bequeath the Sheets" is "cute, in an ineptly evil sort of way."
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Natch in "Heart of Stone". Averted — sort of — in "Demonstration of Affection"; there's some obvious double meaning going on when the sexy demon reports to her master that the latest novice sorcerer to visit Hell wasn't evil, but "good ... he was '''very''' good."
* [[Exotic Equipment]]: A recurring theme.
* [[Experimented in College]]: In "Now Museum, Now You Don't" we get this exchange between a woman and four minor love goddesses:
{{quote|
'''Sydney:''' But I'm not... I've never even thought of...
'''Xynotreen:''' Oh? What about Cindy, in college?
'''Sydney:''' How did you?
'''Trixie:''' ''Minor'' deities, yes. ''Incompetent'' deities, no. }}
* [[Expressive Accessory]]
* [[Fluffy Tamer]]: In "Rescue 911 A.D.", the unnamed hero goes goes into the dragon's lair not to kill it or take its treasure but to "ease its loneliness." May not count because {{spoiler|he's half-dragon}}.
* [[For Science!]]: Two of the [[Gender Swapped]] scientists in "Doppelgang-Bang" pretend — not very hard — that this is their reason for [[Screw Yourself]]. The female says it'll be a fascinating experiment, but when her male self jokes, "You'll excuse me if I lose my scientific detachment," she replies, "You'd better!"
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Martian ladies in "My Favorite Oitling" have one that seems to be a precursor to Jaeger-speak.
* [[Gag Penis]]: The Hidden Salami
* [[Gender Bender]]: "Vici, Vidi, Veni"
* [[Girl

* [[Horny Devils]]: "Demonstration of Affection", "Bequeath the Sheets"

* [[Hot Scientist]]: Vandy, in "Hold That Thought"
** Vandy gets extra-heated by a "semi-virus" which links her sex drive to her intellect
* [[An Ice Person]]: The Ice Queen
* [[Incompatible Orientation]]: Played straight (so to speak) in "Just Another Working Class Stiff", in which the vibrator repairman ignores [[Pizza Boy Special Delivery|invitations from female customers]] (not that they end up minding) and just does his job, but offers more "personal" service to a male customer.
** Averted in several other stories
* [[Interspecies Romance]]
* [[Just for Pun]]: many titles of the short stories
Line 78 ⟶ 82:
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: A villain trapping Orgasm Lass in a Wet Dreamtime Generator, bouncing her between fantasy lovers. She escapes by overloading the device ... come on, this is ''Xxxenophile'', you know how she did it.
* [[Love Potion]]: "Overly Familiar"
* [[Male
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Magitek]]: Invoked in "Wish Fulfillment" when the djinn explains that the villain accidentally "allowed the lamp to grant you access to its user matrix"
* [[Mars Needs Women]]: Inverted, as Mars has no humanoid males. Their males resemble 2-foot round balls of fur... with disproportionately large wangs.
** And referenced in "Time Piece" when Franz claims that the future has no women because Mars stole them all and the Earth fought back. With nukes.
* [[Mile
* [[Non
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Many. A particularly literal case is found in volume 6, after the villainess' main henchman is found trussed up and suspended. ("Forgive me, Mistress. They had... macaroni.")
* [[The Nudifier]]: In "Time Piece", Franz claims to be naked because only living matter can be sent through time.
Line 96 ⟶ 100:
* [[Plot With Porn]]: The whole series.
* [[The Red Sonja]]: "Blue Opal" is a double subversion.
* [[Ridiculously

* [[Superhero]]: Orgasm Lass
* [[Three
* [[Twincest]]: "Family Reunion", assuming that clones count as twins.
* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]: "Family Reunion"
* [[Two
* [[Virginity Makes You Stupid]]: The demoness in "Bequeath the Sheets" appears at the protagonists' honeymoon, declaring her intention to inhibit the husband from siring another generation. She's genuinely shocked when they ask why she didn't show up when they first started having sex. {{spoiler|And then they explain that they won't find her presence inhibiting at all... [[Three
* [[Virgin Sacrifice]]: Combined with [[Appease the Volcano God]] on the cover of #11.
* [[Visual Pun]]: Foreplay in "Orgasm Lass" has [[Multi

...and now you'll never look at ''[[Girl Genius]]'' or ''[[Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire|Buck Godot]]'' quite the same way again.
