If a mad scientist builds a superdildo and then Starfleet decides to take custody of it, and a random officer on the ship assigned to monitor the superdildo decides to use it for their own pleasure, this would fall under the misuse of contraband.
Prior to the “measure of a man” when his legal personhood was established, sex with Data would probably be considered similarly under Starfleet’s Protocols as to being caught pleasuring yourself in a Jeffries tube with a giant superdildo.
They have sex in the third episode. That’s exactly how long the Star Trek writers could have an android character around before he fucks…
The first episodes are a two parter btw
First two are part of a two-parter so you could argue it’s the second episode. Or drive the point home even harder by saying the first episode following the premier.
It’s literally the second story lmao
Everyone on the ship understood him to be a person, it was the outside scientist requesting to dismantle him that resulted in the decision to explicitly codify the status quo.
The worst part about using the superdildo when you’re on the Enterprise D is Deanna Troi involuntarily empathically eavesdropping on your goon sesh, and she gives you this look on the turbolift afterwards
I feel like the replicators can produce superdildos fully within regs for those that aren’t in the mood for holodeck action
WHOMST among us?
The fact that they fucked and he still had a picture of her was used as evidence of his personhood in Measure of a Man
