I'm DRIVEN to have sexual relations sometimes. I'm happy and sort of more than willing a lot more often than that.

Being driven to do something every seven years, does not automatically mean you wait seven years to perform the act. When my belly grumbles, its my body driving me to eat. All other times I eat because I want to.
So does this mean aliens or other humans who are not affectionate or tender with their partners (hello Klingons) wait 7 years for sex? I highly doubt it. You have heard of 'rough sex' right?

So true, I doubt many of us have seen our parents having an all out French tongue love fest in public and yet we exist..
No one said you were.
Or if they did I missed it.
A dreadful episode. The counsellor character was so bizarre, I couldn't work out why they were they were so overfamiliar and nosey it felt odd. Then the 'twist' and they go into their full pantomime villain. They reminded me of all those guest actors cheap Canadian sci-fi shows tend to use.
And then trying to shoe horn in some learning/development for Spock doesn't save this episode. And the childish Chapel kiss...
It felt almost like a Discovery episode and that's not a compliment.
The first miss for the show.

see above ("not about whether they can, only about whether they do a lot, or don't do a lot.")
so their sex is emotionless? why even do it then?Because they suppress their emotions.

I see - vulcan sex is bdsm stuff? that's why there is the holostory (or whatever it is) is called vulcan love slave! everything makes sense and fits canon, rejoiceSo does this mean aliens or other humans who are not affectionate or tender with their partners (hello Klingons) wait 7 years for sex?

Their proper social interactions are emotionless. I make no claims about how emotional they get during sex.
They shouldn't. No one should.so their sex is emotionless? why even do it then?
Same difference. There is zero “evidence” in what you posted.
vulcan is a very boring place.so their sex is emotionless? why even do it then?
Besides, if they read poetry (and they do) and can admire art (and they can) and play music (they play) they certainly can find value in sex.
Not {{gasp}} DISCOVERY! Think of the children!
It's that famous Vulcan precision.I would say controlled rather than emotionless. They hit the G-spot every time.
Like Tholian punctuality, only fewer sharp legs jutting about.
Oh and one other thing... Chapel saying "pro tip". People don't like talk like that in the 24th century.
Then my own counter voice says "You don't know how they speak in the 24th century".
True.. but I'm sure it's not that, other me. It sounds like a patronising Californian barista talking, it's just jarringly anachronistic.

That's episode 8.
It's not.
I'm so glad that the writers don't make the actors speak that pompous, formal nonsense that the producers in the 1980s thought sounded like people in the 1960s. I hope it's gone forever.
Speaking of anachronisms...21 phrases straight from the Bard we use today.
If starship Captains are going to sound like TNG Season 1 and 2 Picard then I'll stay on Earth, thank you very much. Gene had a Helluva vision but it was also a sterilized and safe one that met his own biased views of what intelligent and cultured human beings should sound like, and I'm sorry, but Gene got it right in the 1960s and blew it during TNG.
Good thing it's the 23rd Century, then.
"Anachronistic" phrases have been in Star Trek since the beginning. You can bet credits to Navy beans on that.
