Can the Dax symbiont have sex?

NO NO NO NO ... but it could happen.
If you ask me, it should happen.
If Ezri Dax had to have sex with a female host I have no problem. Still, were do we stop from there. A Trill could be a host and a family member of the host could also be a host. Do we really want to make the Trill society supporting what we would call incest?
Non sequitur. Never it was implied that anyone had to have sex with someone. Trill's host have a say in what it's done with their body. The personalities of both the host and the symbiont integrate to form a different individual. Nothing will be done against the will of the host (and that shed a new light to Jadzia's sexuality). Odan's case seems to be different, but he could have just been an asshole and abusive symbiont.
 
Or they all could be, and Odan just wasn't as good at hiding it as Dax was. Perhaps Odan was so good-hearted that its control over the hosts was less than perfect, thus allowing the evidence of abuse to leak out. :devil:

Was not ODO different, as he only had the memories of Curzan Dax not the symbiont. Maybe it is the symbiont that controls the memories from controling the host.

With the sex, I can see your point. Still, would not that make the symbiont nonsexural and therefore not interested in reproduction. If the symbiont is nonsexural would not that make it less able to reproduce.
 
Being uninterested in sex doesn't mean one would be uninterested in reproduction. Especially if your species is built without the possibility of sexual reproduction to begin with, but is capable of asexual reproduction, or reproduction by proxy.

And the symbionts might want to play sex with their hosts just for the curiosity value. It must get pretty boring in there if one doesn't experiment every once in a while. Why, some of the older slugs might be suicide junkies, especially savoring the moment when the host screams and dies on them...

Are we talking about Trill slugs or Commander Data :vulcan:
 
Come to think of it, Data could be a suicide junkie, too, now that he has been backed up in B-4's brain. The other attributes fit like a glove, of course.

Just think of the memories of Data in B-4 when someone can steal candy from B-4 like a baby. Or when B-4 says something stupid like why does Riker has hair on his face. Data's memories must be going nuts when B-4 gets into bra's and walks around in public with them on.

:rommie:
 
Oh, Data would have the time of his (second) life playing an odious idiot and getting away with it...

I wonder if many of the Trill hosts don't end up enjoying the rides for similar reasons: the slug might be abusive, but its influence also gives psychological deniability ("It's not really me doing these awful things") and the freedom to be as annoyingly "self-confident" as one pleases.

Strange is it not. Curzon was a ladies man and had a number of women.

It must had annoyed Jadzia and drive Ezri the worst to think of the times Curzon was on the bottom and some hot woman was. Hey, this is a family friendly message board but lets talk about the family like that :eek:
 
^^ Timo and I were discussing whether the humanoid Trill and Kriosians are the same species on the previous page

What? Why would it have annoyed them?

Joined trill experience many lifetimes of love, sex, death, choices.. if they were annoyed by such a thing their heads would explode.

Since I am a woman and if I had memories of a man having sex with a woman I would be a little freaked out.

If I was Ezri, and I can think of the size of the womens chests Curzan had as lovers, and she looks down at her own chest. Some not all women have problems with that.

It would be like for you teacake if you have memories of a woman with a man and you looked down at your crotch and say. Hmmm I am that small.
 
My dear the whole POINT of joined Trill is that they experience other lives and people. So none of this supposed weirdness is going to bother them.

You talk about it like it's an episode of Freaky Friday.

Ya they were trained to understand the past lives experiences. Looks like they had alot of hours with watching porn movies to deal with the experiences.

I have to wonder how old you are if you think Ezri spent a lot of time agonizing over her breasts not being as big as some chick Curzon had sex with two lifetimes ago.
