Whereas Sulu and Chekov went camping together.
Chekov had a squeeze every once in a while, but Sulu just liked to hang out in the workout areas and get all sweaty. IMO, ST took a dive when they started making movies. The series (what I have seen) looks like a PC future that I desparately hope the Klingons destroy before the future is set. Shoot, even the Klingons in the new twist are whimps.
