  There’s definitely extensive documentation…

  Actually now that you mention it I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ferengi R34.

    Gene Roddenberry invented Ferengi for R34.

    One influence on the Ferengi was what Herb Wright described as Gene Roddenberry’s “sex fetish.” In early first season discussions between them about developing the Ferengi, Roddenberry let Wright know it was his intention to make the species well-endowed. “He wanted to put a gigantic codpiece on the Ferengi,” Wright stated. “He spent 25 minutes explaining to me all the sexual positions the Ferengi could go through. I finally said, 'Gene, this is a family show, on at 7:00 on Saturdays. He finally said, ‘Okay, you’re right.’” (Cinefantastique, Vol. 23, No. 2/3, pp. 60-61) With Roddenberry’s approval, the development of the new species got underway. (Star Trek: The Next Generation 365, p. 36)

        Come to think of it, those whips in seasons one liked very suspicious.
