In the vast Star Trek universe, the presence of sexy or nude scenes has always been quite restrained and contextualized, far from explicit, with a focus on sensuality and erotic tension rather than graphic content, in line with the saga’s exploratory and moral spirit. Later series, particularly Star Trek: Enterprise, have pushed further in this direction compared to the more chaste origins of the 1960s, where American broadcast codes heavily limited any exposure.

Nude scenes in Star Trek franchise
Original series
Going back to The Original Series, women like the green Orion slave girls in “The Cage” or “Whom Gods Destroy” embody exotic eroticism with skimpy costumes and pheromones that mesmerize men, but without a single inch of exposed skin; it was all suggested through hypnotic movements and sheer fabrics.
Star Trek: Enterprise
Jolene Blalock as the fascinating Vulcan T’Pol is one of the most iconic female figures for these scenes. In the third season episode “Harbinger,” there’s a memorable moment where T’Pol slowly disrobes in front of Trip Tucker before an intimate scene; in uncensored versions (aired outside the US or on DVDs), her bare back and a portion of her rear buttocks are clearly visible, while the US broadcast cropped it to avoid controversy.



The show’s frequent “decontamination” sequences with transparent gel also feature partial nudity, highlighting her provocative curves and silhouette without full exposure, though the creators later expressed regret, calling these choices somewhat forced and commercially driven.

Hoshi Sato (Linda Park) appears topless in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode “Shockwave, Part II,” which is the first episode of the second season. The scene occurs after she crawls through tight spaces and arrives in Lieutenant Reed’s quarters without her shirt

Star Trek: Discovery
This series shows a more modern and inclusive evolution: in the second season episode “Into the Forest I Go,” it marks the franchise’s first onscreen female frontal nudity, brief and in a non-sexual, medical-exploratory context with a secondary actress, which still made headlines for breaking a taboo. Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou brings authoritative and seductive charm, but without disrobing; it’s more the dynamic with her mirror universe counterpart that creates subtle erotic tension.
The Star Trek: Discovery episode “Into the Forest I Go” was the first Star Trek episode or film to show female frontal nudity on-screen, albeit briefly, in the form of the Klingon L’Rell’s nipples in Ash Tyler’s flashback/nightmare.

Star Trek: The Next Generations
Parker McPhinney is a model and actress best known for her uncredited role as the nude art class model in the opening scene of Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “A Matter of Perspective” (season 3, 1990).

She appeared fully nude in that brief Star Trek scene, posing for an art class as part of the episode’s framing narrative involving Captain Picard. It marked one of the first instances of nudity in the franchise.
Star Trek Into Darkness (Film)
Alice Eve as Carol Marcus in the 2013 film delivers a legendary scene where she changes clothes in the ship’s bathroom, lingering in her underwear—the slow camera work on her athletic body sparked debates on sexualization, though no actual nudity is shown, with producers defending it by comparing to similar male scenes.

Tickling scenes in “Star Trek” franchise
In “Star Trek – Gold Key Star Trek #39 “The Prophet of Space” (1976), a decontamination scene with ticklish effect is included.

In Star Trek Enterprise, season 3, episode 15, Amanda Cole receives a foot massage from Tucker. While he is performing it, she pulls her foot away. Tucker says that she had said she wasn’t ticklish, and she says that she usually isn’t.
