Was Seven a Virgin?

Yeah, but I'll be 64 in about 3 weeks, so for me to be young, she'd have to be 70 something.
 
Didn't Gene Roddenberry posit the idea that the Enterprise crew were all rutting like rabbits, but that birth control had advanced to the point in the 23rd century where it had a 100% success rate? And that the pill (or whatever it is) is mandatory? Ergo, it isn't that the crew are trained not to indulge in those urges, more that it doesn't matter if they do.

That's Gene Roddenberry for you. :p

How does that work in Voyager's context though?

If they needed to ration the replicators, chances are they needed to ration the birth control too.

I guess more people had to take a leaf out of Tuvok's book and indulge in a little holodeck fantasy.

For Naomi Wildman and Miral Paris to be the only babies ever born on ship, it's clear that nobody else was f***ing around, that much is for sure.

Obviously I was imagining a wheel chair bound 90 year old throwing cigarettes at you while you dance for her.

In DS9, Sisko and Cassiday both admit to absent mindedly for getting to get their monthly contraception hyposhot from Sickbay.

Once a month.

Requires a Medical professional.

The medical professional does not send reminder to your PADD.

Male and Female equally responsible.

Both have to fail their duty to take a monthly shot to accidentally make a baby.

Please consider... The Killing Game lasted one Month.

How long did Workforce last?
 
This is not the worst opportunity available to you from the directory on Craig's List, neither is it the best, but my friend, just consider: Your own No limit Platinum American Express Card and No questions.

In exchange, all you have to do, is say things like "No honey, your bedsores make you look more attractive."

(I was actually thinking of Sunset Boulevard. I'm finished. Sorry.)
 
was a character negatively judged for sleeping with someone on the show?

Harry was a little in the disease (but that's a different discussion)

But generally no.....however, that was usually because it was always "acceptable" sex (monogamous, heterosexual, emotionally invested, leading to a relationship type sex) never just....i fancy a fuck

Not necessarily. It's possible some ships are staffed with gay crews, some with lesbians, some with transgenders, some with heteros, some not sexually active, and some with all thrown together. If some Starfleet ships are primarily human, some primarily Vulcan, etc., why not have ships also staffed by sexual identity?

A ship staffed entirely by transgendered people. When i first read that, i thought aww, that's so nice.....but then i thought, hang on, that's actually a bit dark. That would mean they've basically ghetto-ised ships....."Oh look another freak, quick let's put them on the ship with the other freaks and keep them as far away from us as possible".....no, i don't like the sound of that. And besides, we know that mixed crews exist so the fact that there are no examples of otherness on those mixed crews is probably a bad sign

So presumably abortion is still around in the 24th century (to deal with moments like those^......i mean, Star fleet must anticipate that some weird shit might possibly happen out in space and occasionally, erm....need fixing)

24th century Federation humans are obviously too enlightened/"evolved" to take advantage of Seven.

More importantly, however, I can't see anyone taking advantage of Seven. She's SEVEN. She's Borg-strong, and she has a mind like a diamond -- hard, clear, and pointed. If some aggressive Voyager personnel attempted to take advantage of her, I think she'd break a few limbs. She's terrifying! I could see her taking advantage of someone more passive than Harry (Gary the Snail, perhaps), or having a relationship with a peer, or perhaps a block of wood in uniform, but not being duped.
 
Plus with Riker/Kirk's one night stands, Troi's casual romance of the week, not to mention Troi & Riker's on and off again relationship as they each are banging other people, add even more causal sex to the mix and the show would become borderline Grey's Anatomy.

Janeway herself had some pretty casual sex with that one alien inspector guy did she not? Bellana banged Tom before they even considered a relationship if I'm remembering that one episode correctly. Can't remember if that's before or after they were floating in space suits.

Most of it is either women being seduced (because why would a woman want sex for it's own sake), men doing the seducing (for the same reason) or it's relationships where some degree of bonding has occurred first (so that makes it ok)

There is a noticeable 20th century sense of judgement regarding sex throughout the series. If any of the crew saw Seven/Janeway/B'Ellana coming out of some ensign's quarters (after obviously having sex with them) they would look the other way, seem embarrassed, judge her. Sex in the 24th century as seen through 20th century conservative eyes, still appears to be a highly political action which carries a large amount of shame and judgement with it (even more than today). So the fact that there are no gays anywhere would suggest a massive purge at some time (perhaps during the days of genetically altering people)

Retrospect is the date rape episode
"Retrospect" definitely still has the subtext to it, albeit told in allegory.

But the writers come down on the side of the falsely accused man. Women are often lying or simply mistaken? That would make the allegory very disturbing

And besides, "Vis a Vis" is the rape episode

"Vis a vis" is funny. When that guy (I forget his name sorry) steals tom's identity, he gets a look on his face like he's f...ing him, which in a sense he is.
 
Theft, not rape.

Besides the end result is the new guy was a better Tom than Tom.

Tom was fucking his own life.

Are we talking about the same thing?

I'm talking about Steth having sex with B'Ellanna when he was in Tom's body (then gloating about it when he was in Janeway's)

I don't remember him saying that he had sex with belana. I tend to remember that kind of thing.

Are you certain he did?

I don't remember Chakotay saying he had sex with the woman from unforgettable, or Neelix with the Klingon woman or any number of other examples etc

At some point, you make an assumption based on what you're presented with

As i recall, Tom is aplogising to B'Ellanna, he gets very saucy, they start kissing (she is very responsive) then we cut to another scene

Then at the end (as Janeway) he gloats "be sure to send my best regards to B'Elanna"

This episode implies an act of sex as heavily (if not more so) than most

Under those circumstances, believing that they didn't have sex seems like the far more stranger conclusion to make

I am sorry but I find this highly speculative. Plus I think Tom would have been a little more upset than he was if he had suspected that his doppelganger had slept with the woman of his life. I am sorry but I just don't buy it. The way someone does sex is very personal, much like a thumbprint. Had he actually slept with her, she might have realized that he was someone else. Remember how unsuccessful he was to convince Seven that he was the genuine article, I think he wasn't stupid enough to think that he could convince a woman that he was her actual lover.

In Kurosawa's Kagemusha, where a double replaces the master. He is forbidden to sleep with the mistresses not because it was immoral, something the Japanese don't give a damn about, but because they suspected that he wouldn't be able to fool them into thinking that he was the real McCoy. In the end it was the horse taht gave him away. Never underestimate someone's favorite animal!
 
I don't believe for a minute that there are segregated gay and trans crews in Trek. That kind of division is completely against Trek philosophy.

For what it's worth we see LGBT and other non-cis/het aliens integrated in mainstream Starfleet crews in the novels. Jadzia Dax didn't seem to be in any danger of transfer when she contemplated a relationship with Dax's former wife.

First we don't know about that because they didn't let it develop far enough and the threat of being rejected by Star Fleet was negligible compared to the symbiont being practically put to death by being prevented to go to another host. Second, we never ever see or hear about same sex relationship on DS9 for example or any other st, and yet we hear about everything else, like people that reproduce by budding for example.... All sorts of diversity and yet in all of that there isn't a line about same sex relationships, how coincidental!! Don't you think? :rolleyes:
 
Ferengi Rule of Acquisition 113: Always have sex with the boss.

Quarks (completely male staff of) bartenders were his harem of sex performers.

Does that mean that he slept with Nog?
