On one hand, it was intellectually interesting because the main dude explaining that people will go back to watching their mindless TV shows, forget the appearance of The Enterprise, and everything will blow over and be forgotten... that was an interesting writer's commentary on society.
And then in contrast, the writers were like, Alien Woman: "Me so horny, you can't leave unless you bang me!" Riker: "Okay, let's bang" lmao. Wtf dude.
The thing that bothers me about that scene is that it's coercive. Having gone through sere training in the military, one of the last things I'd want is a "you have sex with me, or you'll continue to be a prisoner here and be tortured" type ultimatums... reverse the gender roles, and people would be up in arms about it. I get it, Riker's a horn-dog, but this is rape.
It's implied that she coerced him into sex before she would allow him to leave the hospital, lol. It doesn't show anything be its very heavily implied.
My favorite part about the commentary about this episode is right when you get to this part Jonathan Frakes stops doing an impression of Rivas and starts doing an impression of Riker.

The xenophobic guy was the same guy who didn’t want to pay the Ghostbusters $5000 for clearing Slimer out of the hotel

She wasn’t the one imprisoning him and she has no idea about any threat of torture.

They used a heart wipe effect to cut to the next scene.

I hate this scene, it’s rape to trade someone’s freedom for sex.

- Someone from our crew was raped by an alien!
- That's horrible. Make sure she gets counseling.
- Actually, it was Riker. He was raped by a female alien.
- Very well. How is the duty roster for tomorrow?

Maybe Fraiser should have put on brow ridges, and he would have still been with Alien Lillith here.
