One influence on the Ferengi was what Herb Wright described as Gene Roddenberry’s “sex fetish.” In early first season discussions between them about developing the Ferengi, Roddenberry let Wright know it was his intention to make the species well-endowed. “He wanted to put a gigantic codpiece on the Ferengi,” Wright stated. “He spent 25 minutes explaining to me all the sexual positions the Ferengi could go through. I finally said, 'Gene, this is a family show, on at 7:00 on Saturdays. He finally said, ‘Okay, you’re right.’” (Cinefantastique, Vol. 23, No. 2/3, pp. 60-61) With Roddenberry’s approval, the development of the new species got underway. (Star Trek: The Next Generation 365, p. 36)
damnit we’ll never see Quark in all his glory that was meant to be… and just imagine Nog running around with a giant cock that he can’t control… that could have been an entire season…
There’s definitely extensive documentation…
Actually now that you mention it I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ferengi R34.
Gene Roddenberry invented Ferengi for R34.
i’m so glad i read that whole thing
it was worth it just for that, but it’s all gold… i love Roddenberry even more…
Come to think of it, those whips in seasons one looked very suspicious.
