Description This clip from the original Star Trek episode, "Spock's Brain" describes the female inhabitants of an planet as "The givers of pain and delight." Their captive men are controlled by devices attached to their waists that gave pain at the touch of a button. The methods used to provide delight were not shown but may be inferred by the general appearance of the women. However the best description of the women of the planet could be charitably described as "bimbos". It is only with the aid of an organically based computer (driven by a disembodied brain, in this case Spock's ) they they survive at all.
