I don’t think it’s prudish of me to not want to hear people grunting and ham blasting.

I’m not sure what’s stranger in an enlightened future
People still being shamed for having sex for pleasure, or people still being ashamed of having sex for pleasure.

If the grunting and ham blasting is too loud, you’re too old.

Wait, if you were in a hotel, or in your office at work, and you heard someone fucking loudly in the next room, you wouldnt be distracted or at all annoyed by that?
It’s not that I think Jesus is displeased or some shit like that, it’s that I don’t want to hear other people.
I wouldn’t want to hear someone loudly shitting either, much as I understand everybody poops. It’s not that it’s obscene, it’s that it’s private.

I chuckle a bit if I hear sex in the room over at a hotel or where ever. I have headphones if I need to focus on something I genuinely don’t care.
I don’t think it’s a person’s job to live quietly, especially when we have control over our own ears.

Nah, noise in general is annoying when I’m trying to work. I like listening to music, but I’d be annoyingly distracted if a radio was on in the office.

So… no one was being shamed in the context of that scene though?
Seven was “researching” - B’Elanna was confronting her for spying. And Seven was being her usual blunt socially naive self.

Shining a blacklight around in the Holodeck would be illuminating.

Privacy and secrecy aren’t the same thing.
What I do on the toilet isn’t a secret. I still don’t want to find out you know any specific details.

To appeal to a wider/older audience I assume.
“Omg this show is immoral because they fuck!”

In the future, people will get off to string quartet concerts by their peers!

What’s strangest to me is that they still haven’t figured out soundproofing. You’d think isolating compartments on a space vessel would be given higher importance on one of the most advanced ships in the fleet.

There was an episode of this on Lower Decks where Boimler got put in a room next to the HoloDecks
