First, watch the whole goddamn Trip and T'Pol romance, it lasts or rather has impacts until "Terra Prime".
Second, decon and neuropressure is as cheap a trick as putting all the ladies in Theiss-wear and letting Kirk screw every second.
ENT de-sterilized Trek and it was quite necessary after TNG and VOY. I like those two shows, but yes, they were often too sterile.
