It's the lack of control. Vulcan identity is heavily dependent on Vulcans being able to control the extent to which their emotions guide their behavior and decisionmaking. Losing that ability because of biology is going to be stressful, and you probably don't want people you respect seeing you in that condition. I think the sex part is a red herring. Vulcans have sex, they just aren't openly horny except for when their hormones spike and they get too horny to maintain composure. Vulcans know levels of horniness that would kill the average human, were they able to experience them.

vulcans are real and they chose the only human capable of surviving pon-farr to bring star trek to earth
