[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] I don't know...for some reason I seem to feel it's been very clearly established that the [i]pon farr[/i] is the "price" Vulcans pay for keeping such a tight leah on their impulses---every seven years they lose control totally. However, the vast majority of episodes dealing with the cycle have cited physiological rather than psychological issues. So, again...I don't know... As for the male/female issue...it seems to me that the whole thing operates with a biochemical component, a pheremone or some-such, that is produced by the male when he enters the cycle and then transfered to a female, triggering a response by her system. That's what the issue was in "Blood Fever" (VGR), even though it was a Klingon/Human female that received the transfer rather than a Vulcan. This would also explain how a microorganism could cause T'Pol to go into [i]pon farr[/i]. And it would be a solution to the problem of how a species whose mating cycles occur at such intervals could still thrive. Basically, the females don't enter it by themselves, they need it to be triggered by a "musting" male. (But it might also be triggered by an alien organism such as in "Bounty" [ENT].) I'm not sure, but there may be animal species on our own planet that operate this way... -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
