There doesn't appear to be any indication in "This Side of Paradise" to suggest that "... even in the TOS Spock had at least one love affair (with Leila Kalomi) ...". Certainly nothing of the sort that NuSpock and NuUhura have. If anything existed it seems to be completely one-sided at least in terms of displayed emotions. Indeed the evidence confirms that Spock's behaviour is no, or very little different, six years earlier, to what its is in TOS.

6 years prior? Around about Ponn Farr time? I suspect Leila just woke up after a fabulous all-nighter to a formal 'Dear John' letter.

I'm pretty sure amok time was Spock's first Ponn Farr

It was. But that doesn't mean younger Vulcans don't get a strange tingling in their knickers every seven years prior to it.

Yup and we know from Voyager that holobabes just don't scratch that itch.

Incidentally, that was the title of Vic Fontaine's second album.
