Pretty sure based on episode 1, they're doing the sex. She's reading about human sexuality.

Well...
Humans mate out of season, and Vulcans do not.
I may have to review episode one to uncover the new Canon.
There's a very vivid image of an r17 fully naked Angel strenuously masturbating, filling up a lot of my short term memory, during her baby shower from the new Queer as Folk.
What ever tame pg crap Strange New Worlds is trying to convince me is porn, just does not cut the mustard.
Right. By the time of tos he pretty much no longer cares about sexual relations for the most part and is all work.
But enough about the depths of my desperation during college.
"You mother mates out of season!" was slur from the classic movie Alien Nation.
Unless you count getting drunk and frisky after a Superbowl victory, Humans do not have a mating season.
Do Vulcans have a mating season?
Mating sex and recreational sex are different?
We accept 7 years, even though we don't know why Seven years, but I feel like it might have something to do with Vulcan's moon, just like menstruation, which turned out to be a coincidence. Although canon says Vulcan does and does not have a moon.
However what the origin point for the ritual mating cycle is, is absolutely the telepathic bonding betrothal ceremony where a boy and a girl are tethered emotionally and sexually.
It'd have to be like the draft for the Vietnam war.
You can only be tethered to another individual who was born on the same day as you are, or exactly a factor of 7 years less or more, than you happen to be, to the day.
Vulcan mates share a birthday?
Group mass betrothals.
So yes Pon Far is a cycle, but no it is not a season, unless the Vulcans spent a thousand years trying to engineer how all the babies on their world were born on the same day, became tethered on the same day and they all his pon far at the same time, which would turning a HR nightmare into one dirty week end for the whole planet.
Although...
Vorik was able to imprint Pon far onto an alien.
It's entirely possible that if the boy Vulcan and the Girl Vulcan both imprint their cycle on their mate/betrothed, then each couple, who were not born on the same minute of the same day of the same year, experiences two mating cycles of 7 years, and that Spock was just sexist as fuck in the original Amok Time to discount T'Pring's sexual needs, which might be why she tried to trick him into killing himself.
That's nice. Irrelevant, but nice.
No. Just a biological imperative which would seem to be unique to each bonded pair.
Yes. Ever hear couples talk about "trying to get pregnant"?
I'll take somnambulate sex as long as I can tell something happened.
They're not doing the HUMAN sex, but smashing all the time Vulcan-style.
IDK if this was posted already, thanks to the poor search function.
Is that a kal-toh on the Orion's desk?
Is that a kal-toh on the Orion's desk?
Yep, that's a kal-toh game.
I'm not asking questions because I don't know the answers. I stating the questions, so that my answers do not seem so random.
Amok Time says that Vulcans have sex once every 7 years.
A statement that has been shredded over the years by common sense.
So every seven years nature forces a bonded couple to make a baby, but they were having recreational sex and maybe even procreational sex all the time anyway, which makes one wonder about contraception, and homosexuality.
If contraception works, Pon far is irrelevant. If there is a population crisis, pair bond a few same sex couples. Or some one figures out that they are gay after they are pair bonded at the age of seven and they would rather kill a dude, than burrow into the valley of a woman, then they kill a dude every 7 years until they hit menopause.
Actually, it doesn't. It's "The Cloud Minders" that states that:
DROXINE: You only take a mate once every seven years?
SPOCK: The seven-year cycle is biologically inherent in all Vulcans. At that time, the mating drive outweighs all other motivations.
DROXINE: And is there nothing that can disturb that cycle, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Extreme feminine beauty is always disturbing, madam.
Nothing there suggests it's the only time.
But thanks for playing. Here are some lovely parting gifts...
Yup, covered that.
Although the Motion Picture adaptation written by Gene Riddenberry does say its only once every seven years.
Meanwhile on Genesis we saw Spock go through Pon Far 5 times, and he only had one baby, and did not attempt to have sex between Pon Far even once.

(Archer is choking on his food.)
TUCKER: Excuse me?
T'POL: I asked if you've
ARCHER: We heard you. What makes you think we're suffering from a lack of sexual activity?
T'POL: Starfleet forbids officers from fraternising with subordinates. Unless you've been violating regulations
TUCKER: Those regulations don't apply to you. Have you been suffering?
T'POL: On Vulcan, we mate only once every seven years.
TUCKER: That's a hell of a dry spell.
Thank you so much for trying to play as well. Sadly, we're out of gifts now...
No need to worry about this stuff, I handle it privately with the mods.

Wasn't T'pol and Trip's child conceived outside of Pon Farr?
More like created than conceived. I believe it was an agent of Terra Prime on Enterprise obtained bio-samples from T'Pol and Trip to create the child.
