Potentially a holographic lover could also be unseen. Leave the tactile and force fields active but turn off the visible em field and you can do the best roleplay of patrick swayze and demi moore in Ghost.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

You've thought about this before, haven't you?
man if someone invented/released holodeck tech tomorrow, id give us till the end of the year and the Earth is cooked.
It's one of the theories as to why we haven't seen any other intelligent species in the galaxy.
They develop to the point of being able to digitally create their own internal worlds and fantasies and infinitely live in a reality of their own making. They never have to bother exploring, communicating or broadcasting anything into the universe ever. Making them silent and invisible to everyone else.
yeah as far as how many great filters might work.. thats prob the nicest way 'to go'..
Yes! I love the concept of "inner space", it's really cool. A lot of SF authors play around with this idea. In particular, Greg Egan explores it a good bit in Diaspora, as well as Peter F. Hamilton in the Commonwealth Saga. I recall Alastair Reynolds touching on the idea in various ways in the Revelation Space novels buuut I don't think things worked out very well in that instance.
I knew Veelox was based on reality
like the paxans, THE END OF life aliens in voyager, although it can be considered alternate dimension, and the cytherians.
Hank Venture: Hey, Brock?
Brock Samson: [sighs] Yeah?
Hank Venture: How would you do it?
Brock Samson: You're asleep, quick jerk of the neck, never feel a thing.
Hank Venture: You've thought about this.
Brock Samson: Yes, I have.
imagine having the gall to keep looking long enough to focus on said crewman's asshole.
Deanna is a close friend, ok.
You think you wouldn't keep looking, until you're staring into the void and the void pulses back at you, and then it's too late to look away.
GEORDI! ....What are you doing to that ghost!
Surprise butt sex?
Depending on the species in the afterlife ... that could be titillating, fascinating, erotic, painful or dangerous
I'm laughing in the hallway while my kid takes a shower, and I can't explain why. I hope you're happy.
No I'm not going to smell your finger.
trombone faker
I read this in her voice and I hate it so much.
Me too. I'll be in my bunk.
Computer: Load program Beverly1 on holodeck 5.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
And this, this is why no one else is allowed to have weed on the enterprise.
When Bev gets blazed…. Things get weird.
Widening and narrowing? Ghosts have a conical penis?
Coming completely out on each thrust is much scarier.
Sorry, but with inflation and everything i could only afford so many pixels
it depends what ghost it is. if it's a pokémon ghost, then yeah, sure, it can be tapering.
Well, not a ghost but there is a Milo Manara comic called Butterscotch in which there is an invisible man.... Some anal does happen
This here is poetry.
It was a deleted scene. The execs didn't think Demi acted surprised enough upon seeing Whoopi perform her special trick.
ghosts use telekinesis to do thier thing though.
