Need a disambiguation page to distinguish Asimov's story "What Is This Thing Called Love?" from the Cole Porter song of the same name.
When that's in place, can put the following synopsis on the Asimov story page:
Counter-spoof of a Playboy article that pretended, tongue-in-cheek, that all science fiction was sex and sadism. Slimy, bug-eyed aliens have never seen sexually reproductive living things, but their biologist has read the science fiction article in "Recreationlad" and wants to find out about sex. They abduct a couple of humans in hopes of learning about sex from them. The humans, when they figure out what the aliens want, are merely horrified, and when they kiss and don't immediately have children as a consequence, the captain of the aliens concludes that there is no such thing as sex, and that the biologist who claimed that there was such a thing was merely playing a practical joke on the captain.
