He’s still sleeping with loads of women it’s not it a fault, he’s just an action hero Gene wanted young men to relate to. I’ve read the article, i just dint agree with it. Kirk is having sex in a lot of episodes, and he seems to enjoy it. It’s not a bad thing, and i think he is as progressive as a figure from from the time can be on women.

I think modern fandom tries too hard to create a logical cannon from old shows that never intended to really have one. A character’s background was whatever Roddenberry needed for that episode. Spock was the only main character that wasn’t horny all the time, and that’s ok. Kirk was married to the Enterprise, but he still enjoyed casual relationships with crew members, Star Fleet officers, and random women his adventures brought before him.
