Re: exciting!
It is, taking the larger view of life, the universe, and everything, perhaps not really that important, but I feel it should be noted that Kirk was in fact not the libido-driven womanizer that we all know from our shared cultural awareness fuelled essentially by parodies and homages to Kirk.
Kirk was a diligent and dutiful captain, whose primary 'love' interest was the ship.
