In the fictional Star Trek universe, a Vulcan condition that induces the desire to mate in an adult Vulcan. Symptoms generally include a chemical imbalance and loss of logic and emotional control.
Typically, a Vulcan will undergo the Ponn farr every 7 years of their adult life. During this time, one would generate the urge to return to their homeworld to find a mate. However, there are other means of treating the Ponn farr. Besides taking a mate one may challenge to a fight for death.
