"The Literary Biological Imperative " (p.10-11) / Anonymous

"Memo" (p.12) / Anonymous
from McCoy to Spock, demanding that he report for routine maintenance by Chapel.
"Friendship and Obligation " (p.12) / Luba Kmetyk

"Bridle for a Nightmare " (p.13-40) / Elizabeth Clair
McCoy has (inadvertently) killed an alien; in the hearing, he reveals that she had been giving him gruesome but erotic nightmares in which he dies after or during sex with her. He is acquitted but can’t get rid of the nightmares until a female colleague forces him into therapy under a hypno-gizmo that projects the dreams so that he can change them. Dream 1: he rescues a drowning woman who then kills him; this time he kills her instead - and wakes having ejaculated and worried about seeing himself as a sex-killer. Dream 2: he is lured into sex on a sacrificial altar and she cuts his heart out; he manages to break the knife, then rapes her, waking to another orgasm and now disturbed that he has these rape fantasies. Dream 3: a harem girl lures him to bed then cuts his head off when the sultan comes back; this time he escapes to safety on a horse, taking her with him, and he ends it by making tender and skillful love to her, achieving his cure. On waking he realizes that he was in fact fondling the therapist; they decide to “try for four.” Well-written, with more plot than most adult Trek stories - suspenseful, witty and kinda sweet.
"The Big E Meets the Big O, or, The Ultimate Trek Tail " (p. 41-44) / Lora Rene
Pretty funny little romp; zine author requires the entire crew to orgasm together to give her the energy to create a new universe. Spock has to round up a bunch of orgies into one big orgy - and then join in.

Articles on the biology of pon farr by Marie Hietala, Jeanne Webster, Johana Cantor, Elyse Grasso, Jean Lorrah, Marcia Mathog.

L limericks re Kirk, cat & sex. (Kirk Portfolio illo interpretation.)
* "Virgin Territory " (p.64-66) / Paula Smith

* "Bound" (p.69) / Paula Smith
Poem. A new take on the Vulcan bonding - Kirk has bonded with Spock to save him in pon farr and now finds that he, too, is only capable of sex every seven years. The loss fills him hate for Spock. (Kirk Portfolio illo interpretation.)
* "Up for the Honeymoon " (p.72-77) / Paula Block
Faulwell story.
McCoy and Sadie are newly wed, but McCoy is recovering from a recent myocardial infarction, so Sadie decides to take things into her own hands - and mouth. Paula’s usual fine characterization & dialogue.
"The Kama Vulcan " (p.78-82) / Paula Smith
Ya gotta be in the mood for puns for this one -- lots and lots of puns. But if you are, it’s a hoot.

Article encouraging fans to create female characters to match Kirk & Spock, rather than matching them to each other.
"Kismet " (p.90-91) / Dani Morin
Uhura and Chapel, lovers , speculate on the gossip that Kirk and Spock are, too. (Nice point that Chapel’s infatuation with Spock is a cover for her true love.
"There Goes Paradise " (p.92-99) / Johanna Cantor
Makora and Sayanna (The Apple) take lessons on “the touching” from Chekov and Martha - but Sayanna finds it hurts. Uhura to the rescue, with some lube. Nicely written, rather believable sequel to the episode.


Obsc'zine #3
Ed.: Lori Chapek-Carleton, T’Kuhtian Press, East Lansing, MI; May, 1978, 99p.

"Rite de Passage" (p.5-11) / Susan K. James
K/S. Sex-deprived, telepathic, piggish aliens torture Kirk in order to force Spock to have sex with one of their females so that all can join in the orgasm. Pretty silly.
"A Vulcan Dream / The Captain's Dream" (p.11-14) / Donna McIntosh
K/S. The two have erotic dreams of one another, turning dream into reality.
"Between Friends" (p.14-32) / Gayle Feyrer
[Sequel to "Desert Heat" (Sensuous Vulcan), "Beyond Setarcos" (Thrust), and "Night of the Dragon" (Thrust).]
McCoy has recently been returned to Enterprise after having endured months in a slave labor camp. He is slowly learning to feel emotions again after shutting down in response to injury, drugs and isolation, when Kirk and Spock (established lovers) invite him to spend the night. McCoy's emotions, including panic, are well-handled, and the characters stay in character for the most part.
"For Anita Bryant" (p.33) / Jo

(parts 1-3 and 5-7 were published in Warped Space)
Former Starfleet officer, now Queen of Andorria, Bethan skips her diplomatic duties to indulge in a sexual interlude with dashing -- but married -- Semorn. Then Semorn's wife is found dead under suspicious circumstances and Bethan orders Semorn to go away -- back to his pirating if he must -- until she sends for him.
"B'Yadu" (p.61-72) / Cardiane Wedgett
A time warp brings a pre-reform Vulcan woman onto the Enterprise. She turns out to be in heat and chooses Kirk. However, he is insufficient to satisfy her, and when Spock arrives for an assignation with Kirk, she tackles him, too. She ends up pregnant with twins and McCoy wants to know who to congratulate. Kinda cute.
"A Peaceful Shore Leave" (p.74) / Karen Klink
Kirk spends shore leave with an attractive Klingon -- all as a set up for a pun punchline.
"Sarek and Amanda and Kirk and Spock" (p.75) / Jean Borrah
Innuendo abounds among the foursome... who turn out to be jammed in a tiny shuttlecraft.
"The Pit" (p.76-79) / Mariann Hornlein
Kirk and Spock are trapped in a pit, Kirk with a sprained ankle and Spock delirious from snake venom. Spock sees Kirk as T'Pring and rapes him.
"All in the Mind" (p.84) / Toni Cardinal-Price
Another innuendo-riddled set-up, Kirk insisting to Spock that they've waited too long already... for Spock's haircut.
