Ah, one of the classic errors of 1950s/60s science fiction, along with not asking about the aliens' reproductive cycle, or their relationship to any other sentient species on their planet ("the other alien species is the adult form of the first species" being a common discovery).
Emilio, the lone survivor, is FED BABY MEAT. Then he's horribly mutilated. Then he's sold to a brothel where he's repeatedly raped by aliens. The rape aliens write pornographic songs about raping him.
... is there a particular motive for this? I realize that on Earth humans frequently rape and mutilate other humans, but even if these aliens are just like that, Emilio is presumably their first contact with someone from off their planet, so you'd think he'd be of some scientific interest and even if they are purely evil, they'd at least want to vivisect him or something?
Also "hey, these aliens are really into rape and mutilation" seems like contextual information that it'd be relevant to pass back to Earth, and, again, might contribute to people not assuming that Emilio decided to have sex with them for fun.
