“Swingers” by Robert Reed - this is a great free short-story over at tor.com. The tag line reads:

The aliens have arrived. And they want to Join. Yes, that means what you think it does.

Sexuality is such a fundamental motivation to almost everything humans do, using it as a plot-element in scifi is almost unavoidable.
