        That one can be handwaved with alien psychology. Aliens think just like humans, except for when the plot calls for them not to. Humans psychological damage from repressing emotions, and vulcans get pon farr.

          Side note the AI summary for Kolinahr has what I hope is a mistake.

          Kolinahr It is the Vulcan ritual that is to purge all remaining emotion. It’s a ritual in which a Vulcan male shaves his balls for the first time.

      The problem (at least during the first two seasons, after which I gave up) is that the show bends over backward to make her right in the end.
