In H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds," the Martians are depicted as a species entirely devoid of sexuality. This unique characteristic sets them apart from humans, who experience a wide range of emotions driven by sexual complexities. The absence of sexual elements in Martian life also means they lack the passionate and tumultuous feelings associated with human relationships.

This lack of sexuality in the Martians raises intriguing questions about their motivations and behavior. It allows for a more objective and logical approach to their interactions, as they do not experience the emotional upheaval found in human societies. Wells uses this contrast to explore themes of alienness and the nature of humanity, emphasizing the ways emotions can shape or distort our experiences and interactions.
