I don’t think a lot of newer or more casual fans understand that Roddenberry’s opinions on sex were “yes please” and he surrounded himself with like-minded people.
Idk from the zeitgeist outside of the fandom the trope is Kirk screwing green aliens so I thought it was embedded in the perception of the show for people by now
Honestly it’s amusing THAT is what Kirk is known for, Spock did more flirting and wooing of ladies in TOS than Kirk did, and Kirk only did it when it was in service to his current mission.
