I'm not sure what's stranger in an enlightened future.
People still being shamed for having sex for pleasure, or people still being ashamed of having sex for pleasure.
If sci-fi tends to agree on anything, and it's right, it's that our religiously based, puritanical sexual hangups are hilariously stupid vestiges of ignorant times.
I always assumed the lower rank, younger crew on Star Trek fuck like rabbits with abandon on their off hours, with rank appropriate and/or holo partners. They're isolated co-ed ships how could they not? Might as well just surrender to the borg if you're ashamed of pleasure.
The Warp core isn't the only thing that needs to have its pressure regularly relieved to operate at peak efficiency.
To appeal to a wider/older audience I assume.
“Omg this show is immoral because they fuck!”
