Amanda Grayson was played by Jane Wyatt.
For me, nuAmanda does not exist, and never did.

Did Spock undergo Pon Farr prior to Amok Time?

Extreme feminine beauty is always ... disturbing.First, TOS didn't have replicators back then. I should think that if Amanda had any times when she wanted sex and Sarek wasn't available, she could meditate.I have pondered this, too, and Pon Far in general. I actually wondered more about Sarek and Amanda...if Vulcans only mate once every 7 years, does this mean poor Amanda wore out her replicator creating a plethora of sex toys?
Or do Vulcans have actual sex lives outside of Pon Far?
Also, Spock was basically landed gentry, so his battle with Kirk over T'Pring seems to me not typical for most Vulcans. What of the "peasant" Vulcans, who had no land to fight over, or those whose brides to be died or married others before their Pon Far? I have wondered if Vulcans had sexual surrogates that they would go to in a time of Pon Far, in such situations. Being Vulcan, and since Pon Far was a taboo subjuect, I am sure there must be some ritual involved where said Pon far-afflicted male Vulcan can discretely go to some Vulcan priestess for sex.
Second, just because Vulcans have to have sex every seven years, that doesn't mean they can't have sex whenever they want, the rest of the time.
Assuming the bond between Spock and T'Pring is so deeply and biologically embedded that it cannot be broken, and assuming Stonn and T'Pring are able to establish a bond of their own (a lot of assuming, I know), does that mean T'Pring has two pon farrs every seven years, and Stonn spends most of his free time down at the local Vulcan pub bragging to the other guys about how he gets twice as much as they do?
It's ridiculous to assume Spock and T'Pring would have remained bonded after the events of "Amok Time."
Sarek was married more than once (3 times if you count STV as actually having happened). I'm pretty sure he didn't have multiple bond-mates at the same time.

It's was a joke. Didn't mean to step on your toes.
I assume Sarek's ex-wives are all dead. Not the same situation as with Spock and T'Pring.
My own actual, all-joking-aside theory is that the invocation of the challenge and the resulting plaktow battle is what hormonally changes the bonding from an irresistible drive into a take-her-or-leave-her choice for the groom.
Still, given the lack of established "facts" about the Vulcan bonding, it's all just guesswork, just a theory. Same as yours.
Women can never be too fem, for me! It's any that I come across who are butch, or really bossy that I always find ... "disturbing."
