Line 16:
Additionally, Spock experienced an accelerated version of pon farr due to the Genesis planet's influence in ''[[Star Trek III: The Search for Spock]]'', as a young man. He was aided by fellow half-Vulcan, [[Saavik]].
In the ''Voyager'' episode "[[Blood Fever (Star Trek: Voyager)|Blood Fever]]" Vulcan Ensign [[Vorik#Vorik|Vorik]] experiences pon farr and attempts to mate with [[B'Elanna Torres]]. Due to a partial empathic bond, Torres experiences pon farr as well. Vorik attempts to control the pon farr through meditation, drugs and a holodeck mate, while Torres, trapped on an away mission, nearly mates with [[Tom Paris]]. The pon farr is eventually resolved when Torres and Vorik battle together in the ritual fight ''
In ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]]'', [[Tuvok]] experienced pon farr while the vessel was trapped far away from any other Vulcans, and so was unable to mate with his wife. Initially he claimed that he had Tarkalean flu to the crew to spare the embarrassment of discussing his actual condition. He attempted to control the pon farr through meditation and drugs, but he was ultimately not successful. Finally, Tom Paris, whose hobby is creating holographic novels, creates a [[holodeck]] program with a reproduction of his wife, which proves sufficient for Tuvok, but "no substitute for my wife".
