Studman Stan

STAN: But, like so many women you're just overcome by my manhood and you find yourself compelled to jump on me and enjoy my studly self to the fullest. Am I right?

You may laugh.

But considering how attractive Xev and Kai are supposed to be, it's interesting to see how many people end up making a move on Stan instead.

Granted, Stan doesn't want a lot of this attention...

(The main source of anti-Stan lines is 790 - initially because he sees Stan as a possible rival for Xev's affections. If you look at what Stan actually does, as opposed to what 790 says he does, he appears in a better light. In fact, it's a tribute to Stan's survival skills that his self-confidence hasn't been eroded completely, given the constant drip, drip, drip of 790's bile...)

I Worship His Shadow - Xev has no problem with Stan - in fact, she's all over him! It's only after she meets Kai that she spurns Stan.

SuperNova - Poetman wants Stan to have his babies! Thankfully, this is just a malfunction on a machine, mistaking Stan for a female. To add insult to injury, Stan is then groped and nuzzled by Giggerota...

Eating Pattern - kissed by Wist - and Bog...

GigaShadow - Stan lets himself be recaptured by the evil sub-nebula mercenaries Feppo and Smoor - apparently, he's Feppo's all time favourite...

Lyekka - Lyekka likes Stan - ok, maybe it's her nature - maybe it's because Stan likes nature (he seems very happy in Garden - lies down to sleep on grass in Prime Ridge).

(A couple of thoughts about Lyekka - if all Stan wants is sex, it's interesting that he pretty much stays loyal - emotionally, if not physically - to someone who is smooth round the bend.
STAN: Women, with no clothes on, very very close to me - that makes me happy
If this is true, then why is Lyekka never naked after her first appearance? She gets her clothes from Stan's dreams, so he doesn't seem to be dreaming of her naked. Maybe he doesn't want to be reminded of her smoothness - or maybe he keeps getting woken up too soon...)

Luvliner - Rissha seems to find Stan attractive. Of course, she does work in a space brothel... Maybe she's faking it - but see Viva Lexx Vegas (below).

Stan's Trial - the Celes girls seem to find Stan attractive - of course, they also work in a space brothel...
Jihana wants his body - not for anything fun - but it sounds like she'd get an almost sexual pleasure from his death.

Love Grows - Xev and Lorca both want him - maybe it's just the virus talking - but they could just go find the two other guys on board if they wanted to...
Interestingly, Lorca is already flirting with Stan even before the sex change...
As for Xev, it's Stan she wants, even though there are two other men on board - and now that she is a 'he', she could probably have her wicked way with Kai...

White Trash - Sissy is all over him! And still wants to marry him, even after they've been to bed. Of course, the alternative is Pa...

791 - out of the many, many weird sexual scenes in Lexx, this one has to take the prize
CYBORG: You're not pretty - but you're my kind of not pretty
Ewwwwwww. And yet, everyone laughs at this scene. Does anyone laugh at the scene in Luvliner where Aulk tries to rape Xev? I'm guessing not.

Wake The Dead - Laleen comes onto Stan:
STAN: I think you're just a little young, is all
LALEEN: I'm three centuries older than you are
(Stan thinks about this - for all of three seconds)
STAN: Sold

Unfortunately, she is then bumped off by evil Kai - but she'll be back, as Bunny.

Nook - Xev is prepared to consider experiencing sex with Stan, if she doesn't find it on Nook.
Brother Tregor falls for Stan. One of my favourite scenes in Lexx - not the scene where he gives Stan a massage! The other one.
Awww. Given that Stan is straight, and given some of the rather awful experiences he's been through, you'd expect him to tell the lovelorn monk where to go - and yet he is so sensitive, he lets Tregor down so gently. Lovely.

Woz - the love slaves want Stan to strip - they could have just shot him...

The Web - once again, Xev is prepared to think about sleeping with Stan before the universe ends (and this is after she's slept with the monks on Nook - and after their gender swap encounter in Love Grows...)

Brizon - another episode where Stan is almost assaulted - but there is absolutely no suggestion here that Brizon finds Stan attractive - he just wants to borrow Stan's body to 'enjoy' Xev.

May/Gametown - May seems to like Stan, but it's all a scheme - the heartbreaking hussy's already canoodling with Prince.

Boomtown - Wow. How many ladies here? Peach, Pear, Plum, Cherry, Olive. And they all enjoy it. This is Boomtown - if they're not getting what they want, there are plenty of other people they could sleep with. They're with Stan because they want to be.
In an interesting contrast to season 3, Bunny is quite happy sitting on Stan's lap in Boomtown - and snuggling up to sleep beside him in Gondola.

The Key - now, this is interesting. Prince, pretending to be Xev, agrees to have sex with Stan to get the key to the Lexx. He manages to get the key after kissing Stan, but still goes through with the sex anyway - giving us this priceless line:
790: Kai! The love slave slut let the security guard violate her with his spear of wickedness!

Prince always sticks to his deals, you say? Just keeping up his end of the bargain, as it were?
Then explain this - Prince/Xev has agreed to give the key back to Stan. There are two ways to do this - sex or death. Prince has died many times, he's used to it. And yet, he plans to have sex with Stan again to return the key.
STAN: Where are we going?
XEV: I may not have reached the height of sexual ecstasy in round one, but maybe we will make some progress in round two
So Prince doesn't think this is a fate worse than death.
(Stan says Xev - well, Prince in Xev's body - was the sex of a lifetime - and this was after his escapades in Boomtown!
Prince seems to have enjoyed it too - in fact, he touches Stan at every opportunity - May, Gametown, Tunnels, The Beach, Texx Lexx...)

Garden - the gardeners - Lily, Tulip and Daffodil - don't have a problem with Stan's advances. They certainly seem to enjoy making Lyekka...

Girltown - Queen wants Stan's body! but not in a good way. And one of the 'girls' tries to kiss him.

The Rock - ok, so it's Brud who gets his rock cradled by Bunny, not Stan. But given that they are identical, and that there seem to have been a fair number of women who've been with Brud, the Stan archtype must have something going for him - although sadly, not for Bunny, who finds Stan/Brud repulsive in The Rock - and Fluff Daddy - and Dutch Treat... but by this point she is in love with Priest... strange girl...

Walpurgis Night/Vlad - Muffy, Davinia, Mandragora and Vlad. That's a lot of necking, even if they did have an ulterior motive.

Fluff Daddy - Poor Bunny is disgusted by Stan again - and LooLoo is faking it. But Dick Dongler has no problem with having Stan as his fluffer - and Stan's cellmate seems to like him...

A Midsummer's Nightmare - Oberon wants Stan. Even though Xev and Kai are there, and Titania and Puck - heck, even unconscious druids - it's Stan he marries (well, Titania disguised as Stan). And earlier in the episode, one of the druids asks Stan to be her lusting partner...

Prime Ridge - a mother-daughter hot tub combo! Well, almost. OK, so maybe Piccolina is doing it to get back at her mother - but there are plenty of other guys around. And Dulcibella is clearly still attractive - she's talking to last night's date on the phone when we first see her. Gotta love a woman who can come up with a phrase like "Degenerate penis monster!"

Dutch Treat - Stan tries once again to make Bunny feel tingly - but she prefers Xev...

Haley's Comet - Haley tries to sleep with Stan to get the key, but can't go through with it (well, the poor girl is insane). Amber, on the other hand...
RYAN: So - you gonna kill him - or bonk him?
AMBER: Maybe both (smiles)
Clearly not averse to a close encounter of the Stan kind.

Viva Lexx Vegas - the girls in the hotel in Viva Lexx Vegas are hookers, but they don't seem to find Stan attractive, even though they are being paid to sleep with him. They can't even be bothered to fake it - instead, they paw all over Kai. Most unprofessional. The mummy seemed more interested in him than they did...

Trip - Xev asks Stan to make love to her - admitted, she's under the influence of Lyekka's berries... which make Stan too queasy to take her up on her offer. He then ends up in bed with Kai - but this turns out to be Xev's nightmare.
