Dax performing oomox on Quark in front of everybody during Facets (s3e25) kills me. Like everyone is laughing but they almost saw Quark bust a nut in his pants.

I'm going to make discourse on probably one of the silliest things ever but that is also kind of important to know: oomox is sex.

I've seen people commenting my post on Quark and Jadzia fucking with different takes and different takes are ok except when people imply that oomox is not sex.

I mean comments like "I don't think they fuck but maybe some casual oomox while playing Tongo".

There are 2 things to say:

First: We are viewing Ferengi with human eyes. Ferengi don't seem to have the social restrictions that prevent them from fucking in front of other people. Nog asks the human scientist in Little Green Men to touch his ears in front of his father and then his father wants to copy it. Sure the human doesn't know what she is doing but the father and the son and the uncle do.

There is they layer of using oomox to get what you want from a Ferengi but it is also something they enjoy for the sake of it. Whenever Quark is making profitable plans, he touches his ear with a gesture of pleasure. In public. In his bar. This doesn't mean it's not sex. It means that they are ok with sex out in the open. This also doesn't mean that they don't do other things as well.

Second: SEX IS NOT ONLY GENITALS AGAINST EACH OTHER OR NUDITY. Sex, even only amongst humans, doesn't necessarily involve coitus. It can be conversations, it can be kissing, it can be touching, yes it can be genital and it all can happen while fully clothed.

Sometimes people make out in the street. Usually, one kiss is socially ok to do in front of other people, but if you want to go for it and really make out, it's not polite, there is the social taboo. Touching your partner's ass may be ok to do amongst friends or in the street, but fully rubbing and grabbing for a while is not.

These two things are sexual behaviours. They may or may not lead to fucking but they enter the category "sex". If you are amongst like-minded individuals in, say, a swinger's club, they are ok to do in public.

Let's say that making out is the equivalent to oomox. Oomox is still something the Ferengi do freely in front of other people in a way humans don't, even though often it is seen in private scenes. Oomox gives extreme pleasure to a Ferengi, the same way some caresses, licking, slapping or whatever other human thing you do that gets you extreme pleasure but it's not related to genitals.

Whether it's playfully or to manipulate a Ferengi, the result is that oomox is socially accepted amongst Ferengi, and other aliens just see it as ok and non-sexual because it doesn't openly involve genitals. If humans saw it the same way they see touching your partners boobs in public, things would be different. But humans see an ear and for some reason, Quark's orgasm from ear-touching passes flying human heads as "non-sexual". And because it happens that way, it becomes "not fucking".

But aren't they? Depends on how you define "fucking"? If "fucking" is "sex", they are. If "fucking" is only genital related, they are not (that we see, on screen). Did Dax and Worf fuck in the same episode Quark and Grilka do? We only see them severly battered and fully clothed. It is obvious that they had sex the Klingon way but if they never get undressed, does it count as fucking? Why? or Why not? (I am not answering this, this is for you to think about).

It is important to me to make this post because it really shows the way people see sex. Many of you really think that sex is fucking and that fucking involves genitals. Sex is wider and has more things around it than just that. Your sexual life and your personal life will improve if you accept this and work towards a sex life outside of your genitals too. I have spoken about sex ed in my blog (unfortunately, I didn't tag well so who knows where some of those posts are, some I found are under the tag #mots speaks sex, but there used to be more) and I keep doing it sometimes (like this one) to bring out another perspective so people learn more about what sex entails.

No one needed this gif set, but I made it anyway.

The ears of Ferengi are an erogenous zone, so a set of headphones pumping some bass would basically be the same as a fleshlight

“Menage a Troi” (S03E24, Stardate 43930.7) is difficult to grade. The Wesley B-plot is frustrating and once again he saves the day. The A-Plot is disappointing and tedious. But then there is the Picard poetry concert. I'll give it a passing grade, but only for Picard's part
