I don’t totally disagree with the idea of “it’s kinda hosed up that people are happy to ignore the very real war that’s going on and just indulge themselves in carnal pleasures” but yeah Worf went a bit nuts a bit too fast and it’s probably one of my least favorite DS9 episodes.

Taking leave to go do weird sex stuff during a war is just what soldiers do. The enlightened beings of the Federation just dress it up in fancy clothes because they have to pretend visiting the sex planet is part of being enlightened.

i always assumed the people of risa were just always having sex in paradise, and then they realized that the rest of the galaxy would pay good money to hang out on Planet Fun they're what happens if human evolution takes turn through bonobotown instead of getting off at chimpsville

I'm not saying I wouldn't take each and every shore leave there if I was in StarFleet. I just find it weird that it's on TV.

Jake was dodging Klingon mortars like two episodes prior you absolute buffoon. The entire argument by the psychos on Risa was explicitly about complacency during a time of war and the obviously nascent dominion war, you total stooge.

A better plot would have been the Dominion doing something to Risa since The gently caress Planet is more centrally essential to Starfleet than Earth.

risans like to gently caress weird and interesting aliens and thanks to their global weather control they don't even have to leave home to do it. everyone's happy and presumably the few risans who aren't dtf 24/7 avoid the tourist areas. of course, the 'everyone's happy' part is what worf found offensive. he's such an rear end in a top hat.

I've never quite understood how money worked in the Federation. Could an earthling just decide "gently caress it, I'm moving to gently caress planet. Gonna gently caress a lot." or would they need to get a bunch of capital first?

Gonna gently caress a lot." or would they need to get a bunch of capital first? The Federation (Earth) itself doesn't use money anymore since energy is infinite and free and anything can be instantly created by replication but I can't imagine every single one of 100+ worlds has elevated themselves to being so pure and benevolent they exchange no kind of currency for no kind of good. So it's probably like DS9 where the Federation pays the tab it's officers accumulate in areas where currency is required. Quark still gets latinum from a federation officer somehow when they order a steak and holographic blowjob. Quark is also supposed to pay Rent and Utilities to the Federation. Roddenberry wrote it so in canon Risans probably consider being hosed all the payment they require but It's probably more realistically like $20,000 RisaBucks a night for infinite access to escorts and tropical islands and at check out everything just gets charged to a Federation account that is funded through trade or whatever. Some bureaucrat has to rubber stamp Worf's $600,000 bar tab even if Worf can claim there was no exchange of money and that he paid for nothing.

Going to a resort planet with your girlfriend isn't weird sex stuff. poo poo they beat the gently caress out of eachother during sex in their rooms. If that doesn't count as weird sex stuff then going to Space Cancun to do it there isn't either. Reminder that the native Risan Government was called the Ride Hedony. They also built their own replicator, seismic control and weather control systems before the federation ever existed. These people were born to gently caress. But they don't only do that. Hell they hosted a bridge tournament which is about the least fuckable event ever. They even have attractions for vulcans who are boring as poo poo.

risa was dangerous during enterprise though. a bunch of thugs beat up reed and tucker, tied them up in their underwear, and took a crap on them. you see there are drawbacks to being on a planet full of pleasure seekers.
