Question about Lt. Saavik and young Spock


Just how far does Saavik go in helping the teenage Spock get through his first Vulcan pon farr? (See “Amok Time” from the 2nd Season, if you don't know what I'm talking about). The film itself doesn’t concretely answer, it simply shows Saavik holding his hand and comforting him.

However, since early drafts of Star Trek IV featured Saavik remaining on Vulcan because she was pregnant with Spock’s child, we can assume that Saavik went all the way in helping young Spock. Okay, so now the question is: Did she do it out of a sense of Vulcan duty or simply to get her jollies with a young Vulcan stud?
