Sex In Space?

NASA HAS “NO OFFICIAL POLICY,” BUT PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO ASK IF IT’S HAPPENING …

FITSNews – July 8, 2008 – What was once the stuff of poor-selling stag films may soon become reality, as the question of whether or not people are having (or may have already had) sex in space is getting some attention. Talk about boldly going where no man has gone before, people!

Anyway, there’s an incredibly entertaining FOXNews report on the subject, which probes the inner recesses of the other-worldly action and even speculates as to how it might best be accomplished:

Sex is about more than psychology and rules and mission plans, of course. And when you get down to it, the key to successful sex in space is about managing a microgravity environment.

In “Sex in Space,” (author Laura) Woodmansee describes several positions that might work, ranging from the modified missionary position to seated with “interlocking Y legs.”

Props also could come into play, including a shared elastic waistband or tethers to hold one partner to a stable structure, she writes.

Mmmm … bondage, baby!

Anyway, our own Sic Willie was all set to volunteer for the research effort until someone reminded him that he was married. And that they don’t really wear purple wigs like that in space.
