I watched "Dr Bashir I presume" last night, and Quark offered Rom the holosuite program Vulcan Love Slave Part 2.

...

Why would you want a Vulcan to service you sexually? I mean, there's a few fetishes that tie into that (bored and ignored, clinical... detachedness, rape?) but, seriously, in this context it doesn't seem like a good fit.

How would it even go? "It would be logical for you to climax now😐" , "You created genetic material of a higher than average quantity for your species. This is impressive to me😐". Hardly a fulfilling love affair to take your mind off that fun Dabo girl. I'm sure there are far more sultry aliens out there to fulfil your fantasies.

I always assumed it was a kind of oxymoron title. This Vulcan, unlike the others, is controlled by emotions - love in particular.

You know what? That's a really good way of thinking about it that I overlooked. Great theory!

EDIT: Does that mean she doesn't have that stupid haircut either?

    Vulcan Love Slave is the Trek equivalent of Twilight.

    I will not be taking questions.
