Oh I had assumed you saw the link since you linked it.
Yes there is AMAZING nudity in it.

EMH: I understand your trepidation, but you're the Captain. You can't have a relationship with a member of your crew. They're all your subordinates. So, where does that leave you? The occasional dalliance with a passing alien? Voyager could be in the Delta quadrant for a very long time. A hologram may be the only logical alternative.
You've mocked Kim for that speech where he asked Kathryn if she had ever been in love... When that boy looked at his captain, he did not see a person capable of sex. Harry thought he was teaching a dried up virgin about emotions and recreational acts she had simply failed to notice in her first 40 years.
Now, I agree Janeway needed to eventually get it on with someone. They used the excuse that she "couldn't do it" with a member of her crew because everyone is her subordinate. I get it. But having Janeway go to those lengths seemed a little bit out of character.
I think Janeway felt it was somewhat out of character which is why she had qualms about some aspects of it, possibly it's the first time she'd included sex with her regular use of the holodeck. She'd bonded with holograms before but it had been the same way you might bond with an MMO character of your creation or an NPC in a game who you really like interacting with. Leonardo etc.. adding the sex shifted it to another level for her and that's what threw her.
I don't think she was going to "great lengths" doing it though. I think she saw it as a normal, something to encourage unpartnered crew members to engage in given their circumstances in the DQ. Eventually when everyone else is doing something your personal squeamishness about it breaks down, why not give it a whirl? It's not like giving Chak a whirl where you have to look at him every day afterwards for seventy years, you just walk away and end program.
So she tried it. And she couldn't quite handle it. And in the end she was okay about that.

Yeah agreed. I liked seeing that side of Janeway, the one who does need to have somewhat of a recreational or personal life away from her captain's seat. And I agree she herself was worried / scared about what she was doing, but in the end I think she made the right decision. If she had let it go on and on it would have caused issues down the line.
What did the Doctor mean by "The occasional passing alien captain"?
