I guess you're not familiar with the exploits of Captain James T. Kirk?

Kirk mostly used seduction as a tool; he fucked women because it was expedient. Riker did it just because he could.

Yeah it's made explicit with dialog in the show that the Enterprise itself is Kirk's primary obsession.

Riker's motivation seems more pure than Kirk's manipulation. That said, I feel like Kirk was mostly in it for the fun. Like the other comments said, as long as both parties are consenting and not causing death or serious injury to anyone, have fun!

Kirk flirted with a 300 year old little girl in order to get her to give him information. Riker is way better than Kirk.

Where do you think Riker got his playbook from? :-P
