Sex in Space – Fan Questions | StarTalk

people when they think of space they
typically imagine zero-g where
everything is floating but that’s not a
prerequisite for being in space if you
have a rotating Space Station by way of
this centrifugal force of the rotating
wheel you can create any fraction of
gravity you want even 1g which would be
equivalent to earth right on that outer
perimeter so if you could be in space
and on that perimeter in 1g and it is no
different than what you’d be doing here
on earth at all but if you don’t rotate
up and you’re sort of drifting towards
your destination you are weightless and
then everything is different if you’re
having sex in a weightless environment
you need things like straps you’re
probably some people who are fully
equipped with this anyway but I’m just
saying you begin to see the
manifestations of Newton’s laws of
motion you’re there floating in space
and then you you move towards someone
and they just sort of bounce off and
then you know the movement is sort of
preserved there’s no friction there’s no
so there you go so if you want to sort
of get together stay together you need
something to like to keep you together
during all the normal body movements
that we characterize having sex in space
so yeah just just bring a lot of leather
belts to keep things strapped down and
you’ll be just fine
you
