Denobulans have a mating season, which increases aggression and need for medical treatment episode 'Dear Doctor'
LUCAS [OC]: My dear Doctor Phlox, it's me again, Jeremy. I hope you are well. It's been a hell of a week here. Wall to wall emergencies and three midnight deliveries. It's mating season, so you know how that goes. I thought human reproduction was complicated. You Denobulans make us look like single-cell organisms.
PHLOX [OC]: Dear Doctor Lucas, sorry to hear about your difficult week. I know the rigours of mating season only too well. It might help to bear in mind that a dose of niaxilin can be quite effective in separating the two combatants.

episode 'Stigma'
"Enterprise: Stigma (#2.14)" (2003) [Trip feels that he is being seduced by Dr. Phlox' wife Feezal] Commander Tucker: You gotta understand, I've been a perfect gentleman; absolutely nothing's happened. She's trying to... She's, she's, um... making advances, if you know what I mean. Dr. Phlox: [intrigued] Sexual advances? Commander Tucker: I'm afraid so. Dr. Phlox: [delighted] Has she offered to give you a rose petal bath? Commander Tucker: No, no. No, nothing like that. Dr. Phlox: Oh, any man would be a fool to ignore the romantic overtures of a healthy Denobulan woman! Don't you find her attractive? Commander Tucker: Oh, sure. I-I mean, no, she's your wife! Dr. Phlox: What does that have to do with it? Commander Tucker: She's your wife? Dr. Phlox: Oh, nonsense! Nonsense! You're too concerned with Human morality. I thought you wanted to learn about new cultures. Isn't that why you joined Starfleet? Commander Tucker: Why, of course it is! But I was brought up believing you don't play around with another man's wife. I don't think I'm ever gonna change my mind about that. Dr. Phlox: As you wish. Your loss.
the interesting bit about this is that Phlox's wives each have two other husbands already, unless they've broken up in the intervening 10 episodes, so 'wife' don't mean quite what Tucker is used to even with the three.
