References to Pon Farr

I am considering writing a fan fic about nuSpock going into pon farr and Uhura helping him with that, but I need some more info on the subject. I watched Amok Time but I know there are other references throughout the various shows. I tried running a search but I don't have time to go through 124 threads looking for stuff, and I'm sure one or more of you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
 
Amok Time - TOS
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Blood Fever - Voyager
In a Mirror, Darkly - Enterprise

I know there's another one from Voyager where Tom Paris builds a holographic version of Tuvok's wife, but the name escapes me.
 
ENT: Bounty

A contamination from an alien planet prematurely triggers Pon Farr in T'Pol, while she's locked in Decon with Phlox.

I knew I was missing one from Enterprise as well! Thanks Melakon!
 
Thanks Teacake. If I'm going to write my Spock going through Pon Farr, I have to make sure I know what I'm talking about!
 
It's tempting, but I'm really trying to keep sex between them out of my stories. They have something like it when they are on the ethereal plane, though, but they don't remember it when they come back to the physical. It's better than sex, you see, and to remember it would be far too distracting. :devil:
 
B&B referenced Pon Farr far too often for my liking. It was supposed to be this secret thing, not spoken of with outsiders, and they turned it into Vulcan porn.

I don't think so.

Once Vulcans started serving off their homeworld in large numbers, it was a secret that was going to be impossible to keep.

YMMV.
 
This is true, to an extent. But Spock was the one who first introduced the greater Federation to Vulcan mating rituals. What the hell was T'Pol doing discussing it with anyone? Sarek wasn't even born yet, let alone Spock.

Just because McCoy seemed oblivious that the condition existed doesn't mean there weren't instances where non-Vulcan people were exposed to the condition prior.

The Vulcans don't seem to be quite the isolationists in the 22nd century that they were in the 23rd.

Which reminds me: there is a vague pon farr reference in The Andorian Incident.

The Andorian Incident said:
THOLOS: (to T'Pol) I've heard about your mating rituals. That Vulcan women force their men to fight each other to the death. Would you like me to kill someone for you?
ARCHER: Leave her alone.
THOLOS: Would you like me to kill him?
