ST: SEX - Book Excerpt

Star Trek Sex - Book Excerpt

While the 1960’s were exploding with advancements and liberation on all fronts - especially sociological ones - Hollywood and American television still resisted the depiction of graphic physical relations.  However, for years, shows like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits could use the vehicle of science fiction to weave a tapestry of entertainment and manage to get more adult themes by the dread censors.  Writer and producer Gene Roddenberry wanted to do the same with his science fiction program.

So, what is Star Trek Sex?  This isn’t yet another companion, compendium or cross referenced database of planets, props, aliens, trivia or episode synopses.  It’s not a science manual nor fan fiction romp.  It’s not a musing on the real science behind the show. 

It’s all about the sex.

No, it’s not a pornographic depiction, nor satire on how love space jockey Captain Kirk handled his many women, or how Spock could maintain multiple boners during his days of heat and lust - the Vulcan  Pon Farr.

While going over a large number of original series episodes - thirty seven in all and Star Trek: The Motion Picture - I found so many of the plotlines, character motivations and basic story elements hinged upon or were preoccupied by sexual expression, lovemaking or good old reliable lust.  Tribbles are such sexually potent and eternally horny creatures they are born pregnant.  Orion Slave Girls - those jade skinned beauties - simply reek of dangerous eroticism.  Natives from planet Delta IV are so sexually expressive and advanced, they must take an oath of celibacy when dealing with us romance timid humans - since we are so sexually immature compared with those lusty, bald Deltans.

Star Trek Sex Kindle Book

Think Star Trek Sex and you think Captain Kirk and his lovely ladies.  But there was more sex on Star Trek than just Kirk's women.

Space…. The Sexual Frontier…. What’s so sexual about Star Trek? 

From dozens of episodes of Gene Roddenberry’s classic original TV show, to the smoldering romance of Spock (Zachary Quinto) and Uhura (Zoe Saldana), and all the spin-off shows, Star Trek deals in sexuality in a stimulating and mature way. 

Star Trek Sex covers the fun, flash and lusty original Trek, and then goes beyond to Star Trek: The Motion Picture and into today’s pop culture of The Simpsons, The Family Guy and Sirius XM’s Howard Stern. It covers the important and sexually charged moments found in Roddenberry’s classic Wagon Train To The Stars and focuses on the sexual play, themes and awareness which helped to make Star Trek into the beloved and iconic franchise it is today. 

• Tribbles are born pregnant - horniest creatures in the galaxy. 
• Orion Slave Girls are so red hot with allure they’re green. 
• Why is Howard Stern so obsessed with Klingon Sex? 
• Deltans take a vow of celibacy while serving aboard Starships. 
• Androids get more sex than the humans they're modeled after. 

Star Wars may have more action or bizarre creatures, but when it comes to sex, Star Trek is the space epic for romance. While writing episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, I saw first hand how welcoming producers were to sexual themes in stories. But make no mistake - Star Trek Sex is not pornographic nor gratuitous. It’s a fun exploration of the more interesting biological aspects of the Hollywood sci-fi icon.
