bleep.

It seems pretty clear to me that Saavik and the 17 year old
spock did in fact have sex.  This was Saavik's sacrifice to keeping
Spock from going crazy or dying from Pon Far.  Later on, Spock becomes
very sick and unconscious after he is not able to satisfy his needs
every seven years of aging.

You will notice at the end of the film that Spock gives a special look
to Saavik indicating that he remembers the encounter.  Remember that
Spock's mind was transferred back from McCoy, but there is no reason
that the few experiences and memories that the new body had should be
erased.  I kind of got the feeling that Spock was trying to integrate
the two parts of himself together (both the old Spock and the boy) and
that was the reason "only time would tell" if the procedure worked.

That's all for now...
