> After reviewing a bunch of episodes from the original Star Trek series, what became apparent is that sexuality on the Enterprise is pretty peculiar. At first blush, the crew might seem kind of sexy -- big-breasted, scantily clad female crew members, men in skin-tight uniforms, and Captain Kirk ripping off his shirt at the slightest hint of heat -- but the features of their sexuality are exaggerated in the manner of a comic book, creating a hygienic distance from anything to do with real sexuality.

Interesting. :unsure:

I believe this is still the case in contemporary science fiction. There is a well-known sci-fi author who writes as Patrick S Tomlinson and whose books explore similar themes.

We can only speculate as to his real intentions.
