Lets talk about the vocabulary which concerns procreation..
We already have bogh, yatlh, nga’chuq.. But do we have a word for “penis” ? No.. Do we have a word for “vagina” ? No again..
You have American Puritanism to thank for that. For various reasons (insert history lesson here), American mainstream television has decided that violence is okay, and bodily functions like farting and defecating are somewhat okay (though comical), but anything sexual is taboo for a "family-friendly" audience. Star Trek, being family-friendly, has therefore tended to shy away from talking too much about that kind of thing. -- De'vID
