Geordi definitely just views poker as an opportunity to socialize. And while he probably can see about the same things through clothes that he can without clothes, would he necessarily consider that a big deal? I mean, when you’re constantly seeing everyone around you naked, it kind of loses some mystique. Him lusting after Crusher in a transparent uniform would be like us lusting after an exposed ankle. ---
