I do love how in TNG the programs were like "I want to be Sherlock Holmes" or "I want to do Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' with perfect special effects" and in DS9 it's literally "Vulcan Love Slave Part 3"
Bortus straight-up making custom porn programs in the simulator on The Orville is the most obvious natural progression of this
With Riker on board, they probably had to set the holodeck to "PG" as a precaution.
I'm sure there are nods to him using it for fucking. There's a really funny, "I'll be on the holodeck" line when he's clearly sexually frustrated
