are holodeck characters horny by default, or is it something you have to adjust in the settings menu

Originally settings, but Star Fleet got sick of people breaking it trying to get the horniness jusssst right so they made it default

my train of thought is like. if you give people a Horny Meter, they’ll just slide it up to 100%. but no one really wants that. That’s Way Too Horny. i bet the horny slider tells you it’s set at 100%, so people stop trying to push it up, but it’s really only set to like a reasonable, more manageable amount of horny. starfleet engineers would set it to just the right level of tense, Will-They Won’t-They slow burn.
