How do vulcans reproduce

Understanding Vulcan history helps one understand their views on sex and desire. Vulcans are a race who operate through logic, not feeling. But ages ago, they were an extremely violent, religious, and emotional race, even by human standards, endlessly waging war against one another as a result of their advanced feelings.

Certain agents have been known to accelerate the Pon farr. For example, T'Pol found herself undergoing the Pon farr prematurely after being exposed to foreign microbes on an away mission in An email will not be created automatically.
