Sorry to break it to you, having sex doesn’t necessarily cause a pregnancy. Not to mention birth control. I seem to remember that the hologram not being telepathic was in fact his big challenge, one he managed to overcome with a lot of discipline.
You may be conflating Vorrik and Tuvok. Vorrik turned his nose up at a bunch of random holographic fancy women. Was the Doctor expecting him to have group sex, or just pick one? Maybe if the Doctor had offered Vorrik a Hologram of B'Elanna, it would have worked? Tuvok saw his holographic wife and got busy. Tiny non-event. It's about babies. "Spawning salmon". He's not stopping until she is pregnant. If she is on birth control, then he is never stopping, and at least one of them dies. Although she's more likely to die of an atomized pelvis before he dies of dehydration. The women probably also undergo an impressive biological change during pon farr where they almost can't not get pregnant, and a mental change where they will kill any one who gets in the way of their pregnancy including themselves, which means that as soon as pon Farr starts, they literally cannot take any more new birth control, and they will negate any preexisting birth control, because they are crazy. Crazy for babies. Spock tried to hijack the Enterprise to get his end away, but you don't think a wife knows which combination of common house hold chemicals will cancel/negate her monthly birth control hypo?
Sorry, but do you know what birth control is? It is not the same as an abortion. It generally prevents the ovum from being fertilized in the first place, so no baby ever develops.
Alright, Guy, this is definitely crossing the line. Dial it back, or better yet, just drop it, as this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the thread.
Sorry. Done. Yes, yes, I saw that I answered the wrong question, but it was close enough and I didn't want to abort the post. Even when I'm wrong, I'm usually still right. https://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2016/02/abortion-as-birth-control/459960/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1188406/
Although...I do wonder just how much control adequately disciplined Vulcans have over their own bodies.
As good as she was on the Voyager relaunch, it is a shame that Discovery and Picard are so unimaginative.
this is all your imagination, there is zero canon evidence of this and there is in fact canon evidence that they can stop without causing pregnancies (for example by discharging their excess energy in a fight to the death).
Actually, the only thing which is canon is that Picard attended the wedding of "Sarek's son." True the novels have gone ahead and said this was Spock's wedding, and some have even gone so far as to say he got married to Saavik, but as far as canon goes, it was just an unspecified son of Sarek. And these days it should come as a surprise to no one to find out Sarek has a previously unmentioned son.
I am very happy that you and others get enjoyment out of the CBS live action fare. From my perspective? I think they are a couple of the least imaginative sci-fi shows I’ve ever tried to watch. I find them dull.
No, but she had a big hand in the development of both shows. She’s listed as a co-creator on Picard, IIRC.
