    Everyone is living authentically so there isn’t the friction you imagine. Riker isn’t shamed for liking sex. Troi isn’t shamed for liking sweets. People are done shaming each other for being themselves. At least that was the idea.

      It’s not about shame in my opinion, more like having your parents always nearby. Beverly is certainly too professional to ever reference something intimate or personal that she only knows through her function on the ship.

      Also there is certainly still a degree of “shame” present, people still have privacy and an outward image. People still wear clothes.
