Primarily a writer of science fiction, Sturgeon was an influence on Samuel R. Delany, and wrote work that looked at issues of gender and sex. Among his works that are of particular interest to a feminist sf audience are:
- Venus Plus X (1960) (a race of apparent neuters)
- "Affair with a Green Monkey"
- "The World Well Lost' (1966) (one of the first, if not the first, sf story to deal directly with homosexuality)
- "If All Men Were Brothers, Would You Want Your Sister To Marry One?" (1967) (sexual repression & taboos)
- More Than Human (novel about gestalt theory)
- "Amok Time" episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, which presented pon farr, the Vulcan need to mate-or-die every seven years
