- Quotes
[Dax is complaining about the eighth muscle pull within a month]
Odo: Actually, I believe Commander Dax has been treated for seven muscle pulls, two contusions and three cracked ribs. The only person who spent more time in the infirmary over the past few weeks is Commander Worf.
Captain Sisko: [to Dax] Isn't there any way that... the two of you could, um... erm... you know...
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Make love?
Captain Sisko: ...without injuring yourselves?
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Interspecies romance isn't without its danger. That's part of the fun.
- Alternate versionsThe scene where Worf walks in on Leeta & a Risian male originally featured actress Chase Masterson nude in a bathtub. Although this was replaced by an alternate scene for broadcast featuring a clothed Leeta, stills and short video clips of the original nude scene can be seen on several Star Trek websites.

I was especially fascinated by the way Worf managed to win Dax's unconditional sympathy back by telling an obvious lie about his childhood, where he learned to be completely controlled and restrained because of a horrifying incident in his past. Mind you, at the beginning of the episode, Dax had been to the infirmary several times just in the last month because of Worf's apparently violent and unrestrained Klingon lovemaking, yet she believes him when he claimed he was too traumatized by a childhood incident to let loose. It was clearly a lie on his part to win her back, another classic abuser trope where the abusive partner tries to gain forgiveness by appealing to his victim's sympathy by seeming to actually be deep and troubled rather than shallow and nasty. I'm sure the writers didn't intend for the story to be a lie, but the evidence is clear.
Just an unpleasant story with unpleasant connotations written by the sort of unpleasant minds who would actually believe a relationship like this could turn out healthy in any way.
