Omegas are generally lowest on the hierarchy (although in some fanworks Omegas are rare and prized). Male Omegas are self-lubricating and have the ability to become pregnant, sometimes referred to as being bred or mated. Lovers may form pair-bonds with a special connection with telepathic or empathetic qualities. Paired Alphas may be jealous and possessive of their mate, while the Omega may become submissive. Omegas and Alphas may go into heat and need to have sex; this may be the only time Omegas are fertile.
...and, you know, I could imagine an evolutionary advantage for anal lubrication (...I cannot believe I just typed those words) for penetrative sex, because sex in several mammal species (including humans) isn't exclusively reproductive. Maybe it just comes out of the bonobo school of social bonding through sexual activity. Granted, that is also not heat's function in mammals, but, uh... no, I think I'm done devil's-advocating. I don't need to come up with something to follow that "but".
I was going to track down the original author post discussing whether or not to warn for self-lubricating anuses, which included some very tangential references to biological function, but now I can't find it. I think the comm it was posted in locked the prompts post down. Oh, well.
[I feel like certain ships responded different to lesbians, pansexuals, asexuals, etc?]
I had a braintic where certain people had to meet certain criteria in order to perform certain functions on these alien ships – like, the navigator had to be asexual, the captain had to be poly-leaning because they had to be able to form a number of intimate bonds with people in various positions, etc.?

Well, to be fair, neither is the alpha/beta/omega ethology, unless you're looking at wolves in nonnatural situations.
[Although. I'm not sure why omega anuses would need to be lubricated unless the anus was a viable pathway towards reproduction.]
Squeem, Squeem, Squeem. This is fandom. I'm honestly surprised you think there's a problem here.
