The Cougar Of The Galaxy

Lwaxana Troi, played by Majel Barrett Roddenberry, was never shy about expressing her romantic interests.  On Captain Picard's Enterprise, she always saved some romance suggestions for her beloved, Jean-Luc!

Lwaxana put the roar in Cougar before it was a thing.

That OTHER Kiss

Much is made of Captain Kirk and Lt. Uhura's kiss in the classic episode, Plato's Stepchildren.  The alien enforced liplock was the first interracial kiss on television.  Despite a recent revelation that an obscure British live drama snagged the title a few years prior, the great cultural interest in Star Trek makes the William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols scene still the one most talked about.

But there was another kiss.

In the same episode, Spock and Nurse Chapel - Leonard Nimoy and Majel Barrett Roddenberry - were also forced into romantic play by the sadistic Platonians.  Because of Chapel's pining lust for the stoic Vulcan, and Spock's romantic resistance to her, their embrace and smooch is, in many ways, even more dramatic.

Nurse Chapel And Lwaxana Troi

Nurse Chapel is one of the sadder characters on Star Trek. Wonderfully played by Majel Barrett Roddenberry, Chapel has to keep her romantic secret - that she dearly loves Spock.  When the revelation is finally made, it's both poignant and touching.

It's no wonder that when Next Generation was created, Majel was given the joyous and highly libidinous character of Lwaxana - a woman who never was shy about admitting her attraction to the bemused Jean-Luc Picard.  Oh Jean-Luc!

Nurse Chapel Loves Pon Far

No surprise....

Deep Space Nine - Space Station of Sexuality

Deep Space Nine (Terok Nor) may have been created by the Cardassians - those bad boys and girls first showcased in Star Trek: The Next Generation - but when the Bajorans took over, the space station went from gloomy to welcoming and even sensuous.  From the many vendors on the promenade to Quark's - where you could play Dabo and flirt with those gorgeous and playful Dabo girls - DS9 was the place to be for those who wanted more than mundane recreational play with their space faring adventures.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight: Andrea The Android - Sherry Jackson

Androids are sexy.  Well, OK, they certainly can be.  Take Andrea from Star Trek - The Original Series.  Played by actress Sherry Jackson, Andrea is one android who helps to define the sexual allure of an artificially constructed human being.  Captain Picard's science officer, Data (Brent Spiner) may have been known for his burning intellectual thirst and hunger for human experiences and emotions, but before him, we met the erotically charged Andrea.

Created by the cybernetic scientst Roger Korby, Andrea could entice starship Captains like James T. Kirk as easily as flipping on a switch. However, the sexual energy - Lothario Kirk's legendary erotic mojo - could work both ways.  When Captain Kirk kissed Andrea, it enlisted stimulating 'emotions' within her.  When Andrea passed on her new sexual education to her startled creator, it did them both in.  Ah, the burning power of love!
