I also have a picture of myself and Robin Curtis, taken at a convention in 1993. Cheeky monkey that I am, I’m doing the “antenna fingers behind the head” bit to her, though my hand is forming a Vulcan salute.

Compatibility, shmatibility, we would work something out.

BTW, in Babylon 5 there were two very brief glimpses of Centauri male anatomy. One was at a card came, where Londo attempted to cheat. His hands were in full view, but one of his “tentacles” was used to tried and substitute a card. And once, when Londo was poisioned, and was rushed into an ER, they ripped off his coat and there was a flash of one side of his chest, where you saw a glimpse of a couple of his organs.

First choice:

Lennier, definitely Lennier.

“Understanding is not required, only obedience, so get out of the robes and onto the bed, you hot hunk of Minbari you!”

The runner up doesn’t even have a name to my recollection. He was just red, aphrodesiac-peddling priest who got killed trying to help Zahn take out Maldis the psychic-vampire. Oh, yeah. Totally mine.

Personally, I would love to sneak into Starfleet’s records department one dark night and delete all references to Lt. Ilia’s Oath of Celibacy. Oh yes.

I’ll say it!

Oh wait…

you mean you didn’t mean… ah well all the more for me then.

However to keep in the true spirit of the OP I’ll ask for a turn with Spock.

Though on the distaff side Ryoko does look pretty good, and Ayeka might be interesting if she’d shut up a bit.

Oh wait! One more! Who is neither male nor female or perhaps both… Bel Thorne from the Miles Vorkosigan books. I mean that would just HAVE to be interesting.

I would go for Ayeka myself, but as to Sasami, at least in the OAV version she spent a couple hundred years in cold sleep, so she is _technically_ over the age of consent . . . - or just wait a couple of years.
