Dude like people LIKE that stuff? That kind of garbage is part of what ruined Enterprise.
I was a TEEN when it was out (well like 19 or something? When the heck did this show come out?). Possibly it's target audience, though apparently it's QuiGonFishing age which I imagine is a 70 year old creepy dude lol
. But man these scenes were forced, they never added anything to the story, and were ill conceived.
Seriously, just go watch some porn. We don't have to make everything as horny as possible. Just like how horniness leads to people making bad decisions in real life, it often leads to people making stupid stories in works of fiction.
I'm not saying it can't serve a point or progress a story. Game of Thrones handles it very well in the books. Strange New Worlds is basically the runway model version of Star Trek (whatever sex! Have you seen Pike's HAIR? I'm a straight dude but that stuff is
hawt!) but you don't see them lathering eachother up with space-goo while half naked....
Every time I see these trash scenes the story suddenly is basically porn-level quality.

Oh no I need to... decontaminate... please rub this space-goo all over my space-body... senpai! (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ "
