Vulcan males are supposed to undergo Pon Far once every seven earth years.
At the end of STIII Spock is back to his original age ~64.  I would expect
he would have undergone Pon Far ~7 or 8 times on the genesis planet but he
seems to have balled Saavik only once.  Of course, they might have done
all 8 at one time.  Vulcans are supposed to be notoriously difficult to
surprise (superior hearing etc.) but Kruge caught Saavik napping.

     Did you expect to see Saavik and Spock go through that boring version
of Vulcan sex 7 or 8 times?  I dont know about you, but that would be 
extremely boring, and cause alot of complaints.  Maybe, Spock did get a 
piece 7 or 8 times and Harve had enough decency to spare us the gory
details.

You would nap too I suspect after ~7-8 encounters with Saavik.

True it might explain Saavik's napping if they did do it 7 or 8 times
except that Saavik is half-Romulan and according to the Star Trek III
movie novelization, Romulans are supposed to be insatiable.  There was a
hint of this in the Enterprise Incident (Theft of the cloaking device).
