I don't think I could cope with a partner who only wanted to get it on every seven years, no matter how good looking they were.From TOS, it was Kirk at first. But then some day I started liking McCoy much more.
I know that Spock was supposed to be the big sex symbol in the 60's, and Isaac Asimov even wrote an article about the phenomenon, but I just fail to see the appeal.![]()
Ah, but there's this memo from Gene Coon (included in "These Are the Voyages: TOS Season Two"), where he explains that, after "Amok Time", Spock's human half won, and now he can "screw like anyone else".I don't think I could cope with a partner who only wanted to get it on every seven years, no matter how good looking they were.

The Romulan Commander was very appealing.Nimoy commented in "I Am Spock" in getting fan mail to that effect and finding it strange.
Personally, I don't find Spock attractive but the Romulan Commander from The Enterprise Incident helps illustrate that pointed ears can have an appeal, illogical though it might be![]()

Come to think of it, the Horta agreed, so you may be onto something...Personally, I don't find Spock attractive but the Romulan Commander from The Enterprise Incident helps illustrate that pointed ears can have an appeal, illogical though it might be![]()

"Vulcans mate normally any time they want to. However, every seven years you do the ritual, the ceremony, the whole thing. The biological urge. You must, but any other time is any other emotion – humanoid emotion – when you're in love. When you want to, you know when the urge is there, you do it. This every-seven-years business was taken too literally by too many people who don't stop and understand. We didn't mean it only every seven years. I mean, every seven years would be a little bad, and it would not explain the Vulcans of many different ages which are not seven years apart." – D.C. Fontana (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
Fear not!
One way to interpret pon farr is that Vulcans only have sex once every seven years. However, TOS writer and continuity story editor D.C. Fontana once explained that pon farr is not the only time Vulcans feel romantic attraction, sexual desire, or engage in sexual activity:
SNW corrects ENT presentation of Ponn FarrSNW makes that clear.
I mean, it's her whole Romulan vibe that makes her attractive, not just her position. It's clear there is a game of duplicity going on but both unwilling to yield and het curiosity gets the better of her.The Romulan commander in The Enterprise Incident was just too incompetent. She had the Enterprise outnumbered and surrounded, and she not only let the Enterprise get away, she let them steal the cloaking device and get away with it! Should have kept all her ships' shields on to prevent unauthorized beaming. and had a doubled guard around the cloaking device. And maintained a healthy skepticism of Spock's intentions.
incompetence is not sexy, even when it's the enemy.
