Line 85:
** That exact fact was used as an innuendo in [[The X-Files]] episode Detour. Scully tries to keep Mulder warm after he goes into shock from being attacked by a wild animal. Mulder quips "I've heard the best way to generate body heat is to crawl naked into a sleeping bag with someone else who's already naked." Scully replies "Well, maybe if it rains sleeping bags, you'll get lucky." Unfortunately, this never happens.
** One example of this was an episode of ''[[Taxi]]'', with Latka Gravis and some random female cabdriver. They do it, and it almost destroys Latka's marriage.
*** Well, technically it

** On ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' they solved Tuvok's pon farr with the holodeck, though he was interrupted the first time.
** And in ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'', an alien virus caused T'Pol's Pon Farr to manifest early. A cure was found before she could convince someone to do the deed. In the [[Mirror Universe]], however, Tucker does make reference to "helping" her with that problem.
* In an episode of ''Tracker'', one of the aliens has a build-up of poisons that must be "released" daily, in order for him to survive. To that end, he becomes a pickup artist, sleeping with women and leaving before they lapse into a coma. Needless to say, he gets very upset when he is just about to do it with yet another woman, and she suddenly changes her mind, as he doesn't have time to go look for another.
