He wasn't having sex with the 'Goddess of Empathy' but he was definitely acting a bit sus.
Dude also had numerous other programs considering the 'delete all programs' line at the end of the episode. Although even more sus is the fact that he specifically said don't delete this one and then smiled. I'm not sure how to take that smile to be honest. That could be innocent or that could make LaForge look like a Boy Scout.
I'm sure that even in 1990, they knew that making it explicit that Barclay was having sex with representations of the crew would have been a step to far, but in the cold open of "Hollow Pursuits", after he beats up Geordi and Riker, Barclay is interrupted just as he's about to kiss Troi, and it's pretty clear where the simulation is going to go from there.
