		<description>Thanks for the comment, but I think you have missed the point.  **SPOILER**

The alien does not destroy us, why? Because by becoming human he also gets the emotions of a human.  Humanity and sexuality are inextricably linked.  The human feels attraction.  Of course, Reeves is playing an experienced agent and will be used to this &quot;out of body&quot; feeling, but that doesn&#039;t change a thing.  If his original race had developed &lt;em&gt;significantly&lt;/em&gt; beyond our crude sexual reproductive natures, then there is no reason that they would have prepared any mental defence against them either.

To illustrate the point in an analogy:  Bullet proof vests are not knife proof. 

Anyway, John C was the one who suggested she used sex to sway him, not I.   It is in the film and it is in the look John gives her.  Scientific reasoning and Logic cannot defeat aliens that advanced, but, as Blackadder say&#039;s:

&lt;blockquote&gt;A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening ear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I&#039;d mud-wrestle my own mother for a ... sack of French porn. 
-- Rowan Atkinson&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So sayeth the man.</description>

		<description>Review is good, I just don&#039;t like your sexual comments about giving the alien a blow job.  In all certainty, people with capacity to traverse the universe would have mastered control over their sexual powers a thousand times over.</description>

		<description>Thanks mate,   Yeah - they tried to hide it and its wasn&#039;t notice at all at the time.  The squeal only has two moments (to my mind) that follow the trend.</description>
