The Love Of Science Fiction - Love & Sex in Sci-Fi
Space... The final frontier... The cosmos.... it's a really, really big place. They say the most important question we can ask ourselves as a species is: Are we alone? Well, it's certainly no fun to be alone, at least all the time. Like the sci-fi movie Contact (based on Carl Sagan's novel) promotes: If we are all alone, it seems like an awful waste of space. In Ridley Scott's Alien, they say, In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream. Scream - from what, the desperation of loneliness?
Being all alone - even on a crowded planet - is definitely not much fun either. Fans of Star Trek know that Captain Kirk (William Shatner) wasn't the kind of guy to be lonely for very long. He may have been a bit too amorous for some of the more prudish among us, but compared to say James Bond, or the devilish Han Solo (Harrison Ford), James T. Kirk wasn't so unusual. Kirk's crew is also no stranger to the poetry of love, or even the lustful leanings of plain, old fashioned sex. From Spock to Scotty, Chekov to Uhura, the Enterprise crew knew that partnering up during those demanding space voyages was not only healthy, but downright logical.

Gene Roddenberry Was A Humanist
The Great Bird of the Galaxy, the affectionate nickname for Star Trek writer and creator Gene Roddenberry, was a humanist. This means that he didn't subscribe to any organized religion like Catholicism, but he felt strongly that the human race should prize reason, logic and the human faculty of intelligence above all other mythological or spiritual conventions. Roddenberry infused humanist elements into his sci-fi show.
In dealings with sex, sexuality and the ways in which the human race approach procreation, a humanist view assumes that barring the complex issue of overpopulation or venereal disease, human sexuality is a healthy and enjoyable aspect of the species. When examining the many alien species which populated Star Trek, there's more than a hint of exploring the myriad of human sexual relations.
Take for instance, the Vulcans. Spock, always a highly restrained and self controlled individual, becomes a broken and desperate man when he has to mate in the classic episode, Amok Time. He must face his Captain in a battle of the death - all to win the amorous hand of a manipulative Vulcan woman named T'Pring. Here, we clearly see that no amount of prayer or religious thinking will ward off Spock's sexually fueled passions. It's overpowering biology that rules the day, and in the end, Spock's exploring it fulfills the needs of his alien anatomy, albeit with Captain Kirk nearly paying with his life by engaging in a death battle with his first officer.

Kira And Her Slinky Mirror Counterpart
Star Trek loves to play around with the alternate universe or mirror universe theory - that there may be other universes and realities much like our own, albeit with certain differences. Although not officially proven by our science at this relatively rudimentary developmental stage, science fiction like Trek or the TV series, Sliders, uses the concept often and to great dramatic ends.
In Deep Space Nine, the Bajoran Officer Major Kira Nerys has her own mirror counterpart, who, shall we say, is complicated. She calls herself the Indendant, and all who cross her path and challenge her definitely come to know just how seriously she takes her intentions.

Orange Is The New Black And Also 'Red'
Orange Is The New Black is the hot show everyone's buzzing about on Netflix. Chronicling the desperate lives of inmates in a women's prison, the show rides a thrilling roller coaster of intense emotions and wild themes. Sexuality, of all kinds and stripes, also plays a big part in the narrative equation. There are so many fun characters, one would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. But one of the inmates holds a highly respected sci-fi connection. One familiar face stands out from the pack of gals - one Kate Mulgrew, best known to loyal Star Trek:Voyager fans as Captain Kathryn Janeway.Now, Mulgrew plays 'Red' - a tough talking, no nonsense Russian named Galina Reznikov, who cooks up the grub for her fellow prison pals. It appears that Janeway has morphed into Neelix - who'd have guessed it?

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - Klingon Female
Klingons don't fool around when it comes to fooling around. The proud warriors of the galaxy - first seen in Gene Roddenberry's 1966 Star Trek - definitely know how to play fiercely in the bedroom. Simply put: Klingon females seem far more liberated when it comes to sexuality than most other humanoids. On Star Trek: The Next Generation, this sex speculation was clearly illustrated.
Michael Dorn played Klingon Worf. On the episode, Hide And Q, Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) imbued with the godly power of Q (John DeLancie) gifted Worf with a lusty Klingon female. Riker gave his friend a horny mate. Worf seemed torn - even upset - but it's a clear bet to any that if Riker had gifted him the gal in private, he'd have let off some Klingon steam.
