      Sure but he would handle rejection well and laugh it off. Riker, afaicr, respected signals and consent. He flirted with people who seemed open to it and was perfectly professional to those who weren’t. What makes flirting feel unsafe is the threat of men taking it badly if rejected.

        Riker also had sex with a genderless individual and tried to defend their rights until they told him to stop. He defended himself from a false rape accusation. There was that one incident where his sexual shenanigans on Risa led to everyone but two children being addicted to a mind control game.

        The most questionable sexual encounter was Tasha and Data.
