The Holodeck is for porn.
I think this has been pretty explicitly confirmed in DS9 and LD.
First of all, Holosuites are Farangi made.
In the episode "The Perfect Mate" Riker gets all teased and worked up by the sexy alien.
He escapes the conversation saying "I'll be in the holodeck" with a lot of implication!
Isn't it basically confirmed in tng as well with broccoli? I can't quite remember
It was never overtly stated that Barclay was doing sex stuff, though I thought it was a neat bit of world building how they said that recreating people they knew in real life was sort of taboo.
"People use it for that!?"
"It's almost exclusively that!"
That's just canonical at this point. 👉 👌
Otherwise why can you create holograms of your coworkers to bang and apparently that's not against the rules or the programming of the holodeck?
Not just Barclay either. Remember laforge? He was basically married to his warp drive waifu and then she showed up and it's like "oh shit uh awkward I've boned you in every hole"
Wait a sec, tuvok literally used it to pon far. So even more canon, on screen canon!
Did he? Unless I am confusing episodes, didn’t that turn out to be a lie or be lied about it working?
Is there a cold there were two Vulcans on that ship, and I think they both had to do it at least once, but according to dialog from memory alpha, it sounds like it's pretty common:
"I am a married man." "It's the holodeck, Tuvok. It doesn't count." "Is that what you tell your wife?" "No, of course not. My days of rescuing slave girls from Planet Ten are history. Look, you have photographs of your wife, right? The computer can use them to create a replica. You wouldn't be breaking your vows if it's a hologram of your wife."
Yeah that is the lead up. I recall after that he lied about it working.
The important thing is that it shows that canonically the holodeck is for porn.
Snap. Now I need to write a parody of Avenue Q’s “The Internet Is For Porn” lol
Definitely. They talk later about how it's one of the largest breaches of trust walking in on someone's use of it.
