It's .... umm.... an interesting episode of a space pimp attempting to sell his product around the galaxy.
Yeah, it's problematic ----- Problematic even for the 1960's to be pimping out women, no doubt? As it turns out Starfleet is more concerned with Mudd not having a flight plan and an expired license. *LOL*
In fairness ----- The sex appeal of TOS is definitely a contributing factor to it's overall allure. I get bummed out when they make all the beautiful women in 90's trek and 20's trek wear loose fitting grunge clothing from the late 90's ----- Oh well, I guess there is value in using your own imagination.
I like Mudd's over the top batman villain performance ----- It cracks me up. Even his comically massive pirate belt buckle has me in stitches.
The moral of the story seems to be that being sexy is something you apparently make a conscious choice to have and you cannot take a pill or put gallons of warpaint on your face to achieve it. That is the point, right?
If I was a good looking women in the prime of my life I would set my sights a bit higher than to be cooking food for a grumpy guy in a hellscape of a mining planet.
Even with that said ---- I did enjoy this episode on a campy/bizarre level of apprecation.
