There was a story on NPR the other day that i found interesting and thought-provoking. It was about how we rely on gravity for all the things we do in our daily lives.

Astronauts have quite a challenge with weightlessness. They don’t have gravity to help them separate themselves from their excrement. If somebody gets motion sickness (which is common) their up-chuck could, and does go anywhere and everywhere. Well, onto the fun part of the story.

Dolphins are known to have great difficulty staying together doing the deed, due to the relative weightlessness of the underwater world. NASA has actually done tests and research on the difficulties of having sex in outer space. Imagine, there is nothing to keep you in one place. He thrusts. This propels her forward. He pulls back. This propels him in the opposite direction. Her momentum continues to propel her forward.

How would you solve this problem? I’m thinking that she would need to wear some kind of belt with handles on it. At least one of the two, probably she, would need to be strapped down to the bed, so that nobody is bouncing off any of the walls, ceiling or floor.

Sort of kills the sponteneity.

Where there's a will there's a way.

But I bet either of you would be willing to give it a try..

We could just stay within earth's gravity.

But if we find ourselves in space I am definitely the one tied down!

Oh missilverfox, you know it! I would bounce that man all over, catch him, gobble him up and go back for seconds!

I'm with you on that one seamac!!!

good grief, it's hard enough here on earth let alone worry about getting some in outer space.

There would be no beds necessary.

Just grip handles attached to the inside of the spacecraft wall. She grips them to stay in place, and he grips them to give him the thrust he needs.

Don't ask me how I know this.

YOU SAW THE VIDEO!!

NOPE, What video?

When the male orgasm has been acheived, the propulsion of the ejaculate might actually help things..

this is actually really easy

the woman firmly grasps something that is mounted in place(can not move)
the man then approaches and enters from behind firmly grasping the woman's hips as he thrusts and retracts

both parties will have to rely on strong arm muscles to steady themselves

now if someone were smart enough to make the floors of a iron based material, then someone could wear magnetic shoes and they'd be able to use their legs to steady themselves instead of their arms.

of course this is just theory and i'd need someone to go into space and test this theory with me.


. . .

the bungee cord technique works best!

You can truly learn how to do slow sex if you are to do it in space. lol

If there is a thrill, there is a way.

... Not me. I'm more of a sht and puke sort of guy.

Most if not all the women I have had close encconters of the third kind with, had these handles on their bodies. On their thighs just below the hip, and at where their waist should have been.

Yes, the iron-and-magnet theory would work. In fact, the German rocket scientists during wwII experimented putting magnets on penises and opposite magnets up the vaginal vessel, in case the British diverted the rockets that fell on England into outer space. (V2, I think they were called.)

However, NASA rejected this solution due to its high cost. It costs $30,000 for each gram of matter, just for its weight, to put into orbit. Iron is one of the heaviest elements.

Therefore they adopted the Russian solution: if copulation is attempted, but insemination by natural ways is not completed, then the astronauts are cut up into little pieces by a robot on board, and the pieces ejected from the capsule as "not fit" into the environ of the craft.

Problem solved.

I would still need some mood music to help me slow down, aside from the necessity of having to move slowly. "Third Stone From The Sun" would be appropriate, don't you think?

I think dancing would be even more of a problem. That's why religious groups like the Baptists and Frum Orthodox Jews oppose sex in space: It can lead to dancing.
