| - Oo-mox, though pleasurable, could also have dangers. It could be very distracting for a Ferengi and may often be employed by females or males of other species in order to distract a Ferengi during negotiations or to coerce him into an action he would otherwise avoid. (DS9: "Facets") Such was the case in an early, unofficial encounter in 2151, when T'Pol performed oo-mox on Krem only to incapacitate him with a Vulcan nerve pinch. (ENT: "Acquisition") When Quark, Nog, and Rom traveled back in time to 1947 Earth, Nog tricked Nurse Faith Garland into giving him oo-mox. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
- Oo-mox is the act of rubbing or massaging a Ferengi's ears. (TNG episode: "Ménage à Troi", DS9 episode: "Q-Less") Such is the importance of oo-mox to Ferengi males, the two-hundred and twenty-third Rule of Acquistion states "Beware the man who doesn't take time for oo-mox". (DS9 reference: The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, DS9 short story: "... Loved I Not Honor More") Rom would often oo-mox his own ears into his adult years. (DS9 episode: "Bar Association")

| - Oo-mox, though pleasurable, could also have dangers. It could be very distracting for a Ferengi and may often be employed by females or males of other species in order to distract a Ferengi during negotiations or to coerce him into an action he would otherwise avoid. (DS9: "Facets") Such was the case in an early, unofficial encounter in 2151, when T'Pol performed oo-mox on Krem only to incapacitate him with a Vulcan nerve pinch. (ENT: "Acquisition") Oo-mox could also be employed for other reasons, notably as a means to an end. The book Oo-mox for Fun and Profit played on this tendency. (DS9: "Profit and Lace") Some wealthy Ferengi employed females specifically for the purpose of providing oo-mox on demand. Despite the semi-erotic nature of the act the females could perform this service in public as an overt demonstration that their employer could afford such a luxury. (DS9: "Family Business"; VOY: "False Profits") When Quark, Nog, and Rom traveled back in time to 1947 Earth, Nog tricked Nurse Faith Garland into giving him oo-mox. (DS9: "Little Green Men") In 2369, Beverly Crusher performed oo-mox on DaiMon Solok's lobes so she, Worf, and Jean-Luc Picard could gain passage on his ship to discreetly travel to the Cardassian planet Celtris III. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part I" ) Vash had knowledge of how to perform oo-mox. She gave Quark oo-mox when negotiating who got the profits from an auction the two organized. (DS9: "Q-Less") Lwaxana Troi told Odo that she made love with DaiMon Tog while being held hostage on his ship in 2366. (TNG: "Ménage à Troi" , DS9: "The Forsaken") In DS9: "Bar Association" Rom confesses that he has had too much oo-mox by himself. This seemed to be one of the few references to masturbation in the history of Star Trek. According to the script for "Bar Association", oo-mox was pronounced as "00-mox". [1]
- Oo-mox is the act of rubbing or massaging a Ferengi's ears. (TNG episode: "Ménage à Troi", DS9 episode: "Q-Less") Such is the importance of oo-mox to Ferengi males, the two-hundred and twenty-third Rule of Acquistion states "Beware the man who doesn't take time for oo-mox". (DS9 reference: The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, DS9 short story: "... Loved I Not Honor More") A number of books have been written on the subject, including The Ferengi Guide to Sexual Fulfillment: The Joys of Oo-moxing , and Oo-mox for Fun and Profit. (DS9 reference: The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, DS9 episode: "Profit and Lace") One of the chapters of Doctor Posck's guide Guarding Your Investment, Keeping Your Children Profitable dealt with excessive compulsive oo-moxing in Ferengi males aged one to eighteen. When Ishka learned her young son Quark was oo-moxing, she put numbing ointment on his ears. (DS9 novel: Legends of the Ferengi) Rom would often oo-mox his own ears into his adult years.
