+----------------
| In Amok Time, it wasn't a matter of returning to Vulcan for the sake of
| being on the planet; it was a matter of going there because that was
| where his bondmate was (T'Pring).

Exactly.  Now think hard:  _W_h_e_r_e_ _d_i_d_ _t_h_e_ _b_o_n_d_ _c_o_m_e_ _f_r_o_m_?
And why would Spock suffer pon farr so young if it took him so long to
have it the first time?

I still think Spock was in need of _m_a_k_i_n_g the bond, not consummating
it.
