I could have safely finished my entire life without seeing that.
Wait till you see him without his hairpiece then you'll really feel queasy.

Different standards of modesty. I learned recently that in France (your location, based on earlier posts), it's taboo for both women and men to be shirtless in public. But go over into Germany, and nude sunbathing is okay in public parks.
Anyway, back to Cringe Trek. I cringe at the Borg Queen asking Data, "Was that good for you?" along with Data's giddy reaction to her breath of air on his piece of biological skin.

My cringe is DS9 Jadzia and Worf behaving physically romantic.
It's like anthropomorphism Sexuality about chairs stacked together.

You're creeped out by chairs???
I'd like to headcanon that Geordi accidentally accessed the Lewis Zimmerman Program the next time he needed he needed an awkward-romance scene in the holodeck, which cured him of his obsession with dating holograms.
The TNG episode and its follow up with the "real" Leah Brahms portrays his behavior as a largely "innocent" mistake; not creepy per se.
Only if they are pretending to have sex and a crew is filming it.
On the other hand, stack-up chairs can have a foursome and more... That's got to be a bother for some people.
They definitely lacked chemistry, much like Burnham and Tyler from Discovery.
the funny thing was I thought Ezri and Worf had far more chemistry
Star Trek sex is always cringey because the network was super uptight about starfleet sex. Of course, compared to Dukat/Winn, Worf/Jadzia sex was downright romantic!!
I think Dukat/Winn was "cringe-ish".
Remember Winn was involved with that
Other guy, I belive before she was Kai. (Older guy, actually not bad looking at all)
And Dukat was a dog, so....
And Winn and Dukat at least had chemistry,
Somewhat volatile chemicals, which worked.
Jadzia seeing Eorf from across the room,
"Shouting" "Worf" ( with less enthusiasm than most of us muster for pie or ice cream, and certainly less than if we are offered both)
And then she jumps into his arms.
Sort of like a Cocker spaniel, but without the enthusiasm.........zzzzzzzzzz
Well Winn and Dukat have chemistry, but certainly not love chemistry exactly as it's supposed to be portrayed, each using the other for their own advancement.
Unlike pretending that your picnic table loves the lawn chair because the wind blew one on top of the other.
True, I've noted this before as well. But we watch TV for engaging entertainment, not realism.

Winn and Dukat were kinda like Juliet and Romeo, except that Dukat didn't poison himself, Winn did it for him, and Winn didn't kill herself thinking Dukat was dead, she celebrated because he was dead and later Dukat killed her.
Well, they're like the fire cave crossed lovers.

I got the impression is he wanted someone he could bounce idea's off like a human being instead of someone talking in a kind of robotic kind of way. It was a work program but who we are as individuals does impact who we are as workers and how we approach problems. I think personal logs were off limits which is I think would be the main reason the computer didn't include the fact she was married. What personal info that would be provided would be small stuff that someone might put out in open on their facebook page. Like favorite movie or favorite food to eat. That was how the holo Brahams mentioned the same food real Brahams liked.
I do understand why she would be creeped out though. It looks worst than what it was. She walks into the program not really understanding the context of what went down. She doesn't know him. For all she knows he really has been virtual stalking him. Granted we are talking evolved humanity stuff so I am not sure if it makes sense within the context that humanity has evolved but then again that stuff gets in the way of good drama so I like when they ignore it and allow real human experiences to happen.

I found all their scenes together to be incredibly boring. So, not entertaining. It would have been ok in a single episode but they carried that plot over 6.
This is one of the reasons why you should protect all your personal stuff. If only he added a password or a voice ID to his personal-use holoprograms, he could've avoided all of this. He seems to have already learned his lesson when the real Leah Brahms arrived on the Enterprise and didn't act like the holographic recreation, so I think that if she didn't find it, he probably would've deleted it by himself as it dawned on him that he should've done this the moment he started loving a shadow.
