Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex

With Superman Returns hitting the theaters and the deluge of branded products that come with it; what a better time to revisit Larry Niven's classic essay 'Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex'. For those who never read the piece, (or heard part of it in the film Mallrats) Niven explores the problems of Superman and Lois Lane having a physical relationship (super sperm and super orgasms) and conceiving a Kryptonian/Homo Sapien hybrid to term.

Thanks to BoingBoing for finding an online copy of the story.
