    That’s one aspect in which The Orville was certainly more realistic than Star Trek. Their security officer was using their holodeck to fulfill his smutty gay sex fantasies.

      Haven’t seen Lower Decks yet, I’m guessing?

        Also VOY has Tuvok using the holodeck for ponfarr.

          True but at least there was a medical reasoning behind that one and not just “abs… yummy…”

          Not Tuvok, a Vulcan officer from Engineering. And it didn’t exactly solve his problem.

            100% Tuvok. He complains to Tom Paris about his hologram wife T’Pel’s ears being too short.

            You can see her referenced here.

        “and holodeck waste removal”

        “Urgh is it really mostly #$&!?”

        “Oh yeah, it’s all #$&!..”

      This is a recurring theme in DS9. Quark is always offering new programs like “pleasure mazes” with a “surprise” at the center. Nog even has his own program with a “pleasure goddess”.
