Sorry, forgot the rules for a moment. If it happens again, I'll gladly flog myself with a wet noodle.

I think the reason Harry didn't do anything with 7 was simple. She was just liberated from the collective after she was a drone most of her life. She was practicly a child! She didn't even know how to chew and swallow for crying out loud! For Harry to say "Yeah 7! Bend over!" Would later be seen as rape by 7 and anyone who found out. She had no idea what sex was, what it meant, but later she would. Harry would be taking total advantage of her, and star trek doesn't seem like the kind of show that would support "Rape the drunk chick becuase you can" 'cause thats what it would be like.
Also I just thought about how she didn't know how to eat. That would suggest that borg drones don't eat, right? So if they don't eat, then they dont...you know...go to the bathroom. I wonder who taught 7 how to use the toilet? Or anything for that matter. Drones don't shower, or brush hair, or teeth, it must have taken weeks just to get 7 to take care of herself like an adult.

Jadzia was omnisexual, and so was probably Ezri. Jadzia was basically Star Trek's version of Jack Harkness except that DS9 was not on post-watershed BBC.

Data was asexual, unless turned on... literally. Then he probably became omnisexual as well (being "fully functional" and all).

The rest of the bunch was pretty straight... well, except for O'Brien and Bashir who had this Brokeback Mountain thing going on for a couple of seasons. j/k

And even so, sometimes it's jarring when a woman just blurts out "Do you wish to copulate?" No one ever really does that. We somehow think there must be a catch.

Also it takes all the fun out of it - the pursuit, the courting, the *romance*, is lost. It'd be like if you get all ready to go hunting, then walk out to your truck at 4 AM and somebody hands you a dead deer and says "Nice shooting, buddy!" Where's the fun in that?

The Vorta were strange. We never saw two flirt with each other...but then two were rarely in the room with each other. Maybe they were asexual in terms of reproduction (they were immortal via cloning anyway) but they slithered around and teased people (they used their sexuality as another weapon in their arsenal) in service to the Founders. But then wouldn't they all be engineered to be gorgeous and bisexual?

We're also talking about the few we've seen (all "diplomats"), mostly during work hours, so maybe Ezri's joking suggestion that they're all sex maniacs is accurate.

The Founders probably didn't engineer the Jem Hadar or the Vorta to be sexual at all. It's counterproductive. They don't want either their soldiers or their diplomats to be occupied with any thoughts other than extending the empire of the Founders. Besides, they clone their soldiers anyway. No need for sexual reproduction.

So copulating with seven of nine would be just like making love with a dead deer?

On a somewhat serious note, I got gay vibes off Malcolm Reed. Especially between him and Major Hayes in S3.

Yup, me too! I think there was an unacknowledged homoerotic component to their antagonism.

Unfortunately I don't think there have been any gay characters in Trek (not that I think anyone needs to be gay for the sake of having a token gay person on the show).

^ actually I remember now, Vorta have almost no sense of taste. The only thing they can enjoy tasting is nuts and berries (from their homeworld).

It would of been nice to see the Vorta's homeworld in one or two DS9 episodes.

 

[Diddle]

Yeah, I don't think he ever said anything about the pleasure thing, but he did mentioned a lack of sense of aesthetics plus almost no sense of teste. Which also reminds me that Weyoun said he liked to watch interspecies mating rituals.

I love Star Trek.

There you have a hint about the Vorta sexuality... they like to watch...

 

[RoJoHen]

no sense of teste

I hope this spelling was intentional.

Nudge nudge, wink wink.

It was, I just wanted to make sure everyone's awake.

Why were people only gay in the Mirror Universe?

Funniest. Post. EVER.

In the Mirror universe the gay people are straight, it is the straight people who are in fact gay.

(A disclaimer: he was older than I was at the time DS9 was shot)

I don't think he was gay but I remember being very distracted by early Jake Sisko's... lower decks. They put him in those spandex-like pants with what would seem to be no underwear. Later on they finally gave him pants but for a few seasons there his junk was straight up on display.

The only guy I'd date in Trek was Weyoun. "You honor me with your (insert colorful metaphor)."

Wait, who, mushroom-head?! No wait, that didn't come out right. ...Nor did that... Never mind.

coupla gays would have been handy in enterprise's 'bound'. not a single one in a crew of > 80? either starfleet is homophobic, or it will have been cured by 2150.
