    Any time sex on a holodeck is referenced, I can’t help but feel sorry for whoever has to clean it up.

      It’s not a person, the holodecks are just designed in a horrifying way. We learned from an early TNG episode that when the holodecks do an uncontrolled shut down, they reclaim all the matter within them. It requires a special intentional function to leave the people behind.

      So don’t worry about it, they’re self-cleaning

          That’s a whole other question. The replicators of TNG era weren’t protein resequencers like they were in Enterprise. They were simple matter/energy conversion. They would reclaim the matter and store any remaining energy in the ship’s reserves.

          In Voyager they said the holodecks ran on a completely separate power supply than the rest of the ship, so maybe they never really intermingled with the replicator systems

        That’s great, I’m surprised I’ve never seen this linked somewhere before!
