One the other hand, we have a lot of evidence that young human males are very horny... I don't think it takes away from original Spock's "maybe I'm suppressing more than I should" arc. It ads to it. And writing prequels is always hard, because your characters can't evolve above certain point. The need to end low, because low is where they started TOS - their journey need to happen there. Most are basically pointless and lead nowhere. Young Sheldon can't learn his lessons and grow because old Sheldon need to start broken.

Having secret "there is more story behind his silence and cold indifference" is a great way to have the arc and not brake the arc.
