Reactions and Reviews

1990

The plot may not be very original, but this story is beautifully written. I really liked the idea that Spock would be turned on by Jacuzzis because of the effect or hot water on a Vulcan's moisture deprived skin. Nevertheless, I wonder why Vulcans would consider male/male bonding superior. That does seem unnecessarily sexist. I also think it unlikely that Kirk would be circumcised. Even now infant circumcision is becoming less prevalent than it used to be. By the 23rd century, only a small religious minority would be perpetuating this surgery. [1]
