Is it true that NASA scientists had sex in space?

babs,

Thrusting would be easy. In water it's easily done (remember that you have each other to work off of).

I don't want to get into the mechanics of it but I'm certain it's quite easy.

Personally, i think that a rotating space station (rotation to provide the inertial force necessary to allow you to walk on the floors of the outer ring) should have at it's center, a padded room which can be reserved by eager couples for an hour at a time. You and your intended partner(s?) would then climb/descend the ladder to the weightless center room for much needed recreation. Velcro? pshaw . . . several very long silk scarves to wrap around one another . . . and a . . . well, never mind, this is my fantasy, y'all can just butt out . . .

LOL, this is getting more interesting by the minute :-D

Yeah,..the thrusting would be easy,..it'd be the stopping that would be difficult

I happen to like sex in an "obstacle course" type atmosphere,..so bumping into things is no problem in my book.

I'd just be afraid of the "floating wet spot" after the act!!

Well this MIGHT be true, assuming that you
have a relatively small and confined space
in which to engage in said encounter. If not
one good thrust, and you would be pushed off
to the other end of the ship.....it could be
a while before you got back "together"
I am assuming, naturally, that we are not
clothed in weighted shoes, and other
interfering garments, right? That would sort
of ruin some of the fun of it all.

Steve Martin, with what might prove somewhat useful here: "I actually learned about sex from watching neighborhood dogs. Go ahead and laugh. Go ahead. But you can learn a lot from animals. And the most important thing I learned was that you never let go of the girl's leg no matter how hard she tries to throw you off."

LOL patio, but yes I was assuming that the persons involved in coitus would maintain a hold on each other to avoid the flying off and bouncing off walls thing.

Oh Patio you ARE A DOG! Now look
here, Water is different, weightlessness could
be a definite inhibitor of necessary movements
at precisely the necessary times... you see what I
mean?? OMG a floating wet spot.... OH LORD Jerry
Imagine, it could float around for hours with
you trying to contain it, only to come back and
smack you between the eyes.
Now THAT would be a sight to see.
Premature "you know what" could be a rather
messy & difficult problem as well.

You folks really are filthy. I'm going to need a bath when I get home.

And it looks like Babs is going on one of those "her needs" kicks. Sheesh. There's a reason we go into space in big phallic fast-burning firecrackers instead of floaty flower-shaped things. Just ask Alan Shepherd. Up and down in fifteen minutes, most of it inactive, and he's a hero!

And how exactly do the persons involved
HANG on to each other? Have you ever
seen what it is like to be in a weightless
environment.....? Picture it, unless you follow
the "doggie" example, and never let loose of
that leg, you could be thrown to the other
end of the ship. And it could take some time
to return, which may be HIGHLY irritating to the
other party.

<attempt to lurk quietly shattered by giggle fit>

Oh, well pardon me, Patio dear, but
is it forbidden somewhere for a woman to
want to get a little enjoyment out of the encounter
too? You men are all the same, just thinking
about yourselves, all the time.... me, me, me,
you even think that the space thing was designed
after a part of your anatomy
Oh come on! Surely there had to be another reason,
like aerodynamics or something.

hahahaha!!!! You guys are cracking me up, lol.

All I know is, all the launches take place in the morning, when you can be sure the rocket will be upright. And I ain't sayin' nothin' more.

babs, come clean (tee hee) you are fishing for a demonstration aren't ya?

kiddin' but I swear holding on has never been difficult for me.

oh dear!

well craven how nice to know :wink:

dlowan - oh please tell me we are not
shattering your tender ears, my dear woman ...
I shall be mortified

Yes, babs, I am a tender, inexperienced li'l woodland creature.....
