Did Kirk have a lot of trysts in the books or something? In the show he and the woman of the week would often make eyes at one another, but it usually wasn’t even implied that they had sex. Riker’s promiscuity is far more an established thing
Watching TOS last year and yeah, he wasn’t celibate, but he was pretty much married to his ship and more interested in the stars than romance.
To the point that he’d have several crew members tell him that to his face and he would reply “that is… indeedacorrect… statement of… mynature”.
Spock. you meant married to Spock.
the ship is just part of the triad
IMO it was much more about Kirk’s inherent irresistibly to women than actual sex. In TOS the women are practically fainting at the sight of Kirk. That’s because Kirk is a Mary Sue TV trope but perhaps more relevant, Kirk was very obviously Roddenberry’s stand-in for himself.
boomer meme
it’s funny that the cartoon version of trek never hinted at sex.
(please prove me wrong lol)
Lower Decks alluded to it lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YeTDrk5ayw
i started binging the entirety lower decks today and just ran across that too. lol
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Are you kidding? Shaxs and T’Ana had elaborate crime fantasies in the holodeck as foreplay and T’Ana was always telling Shaxs some innuendo about how they should fuck the second that the Cerritos had some downtime.
Maybe it’s not explicit but it was pretty clear to me what was going on.
i started a binge watch and, oh boy, did i forget about a lot.
i really like rediscovering these gems.
Seeing the word “banged” so many times in a row reminds me of how weird it sounds when someone says it out loud
