Personally, I like the idea of some sort of fuzzy subterranean gremlins from Mars.
Elon arrives and they prank him to death.

Sexual content
I once had a peculiar dream in which I went to Mars and had to explain Earth's plight to the locals. The Martians were a lot like the humans of Earth, albeit a bit taller, and more strikingly, they did not communicate by either verbal speech or by signing with the hands. Rather, the Martians would insert a pseudo-penis into a pseudo-vagina, and then twitch these organs rhythmically at high speed in a manner reminiscent of a telegraph key. This apparently allowed them to transmit large amounts of data very efficiently.Definitely the best idea I've ever heard for a unique take on alien life. There is a huge, awesome book to be written about interactions with this species and I won't be writing it. But I hope someone does
I found it a bit difficult to communicate with the Martians, not least because I would endure a very distracting amount of sexual pleasure with every word uttered by or to me. In hindsight I maybe could've made some sort of device to communicate for me, but perhaps that would've been taken by the Martians as a bit cold and distant.
I still think this form of communication is an interesting idea, and I've considered adding it to my conworld, but the problem is that I cannot imagine any real reason why the Martians would evolve to communicate in this way.
Like Helen Keller's contact-sign-language but horny
I think the term you meant is tactile sign language, rather than contact sign, but I get what you mean.
