Star Trek: 10 Reasons Why Living With A Klingon Would Suck

By John K Kirk /

6. Violent Sex

Well, the last reason is a logical segue for this subject, and yeah, it was inevitable that it was going to show up. Klingon sex is really violent €“ pain sticks, bite marks, fractures and contusions €“ you don't walk away from a Klingon tryst. No, I mean it: you're probably crippled or something. Just look at all the episodes with characters that have had relationships with a Klingon partner: Worf winds up with a slight cut on his forehead, but Jadzia Dax dislocated her shoulder. Little Quark ended up in sickbay for a day while he had his earlobe stitched back together while his Klingon lover looks on with a tiny trickle of blood on her lip. Sex isn't supposed to be about hurting the other partner €“ it's an intimate moment of trust and sharing where you don't have to be afraid to show your vulnerable side. Klingons don't have a vulnerable side, and if they do, it's protected by six inches of body armour.
