Zero Gravity Sex

ANTVGM64

Howdy, I'm doing a power point on Zero Gravity sex and I am having difficulty coming up with anything particularly exciting about the entire endevor.

I remember there used to be some animations floating around on the world wide web about what this stuff would look like, but I can't seem to find any.

Secondly, are there any websites that'll demonstrate how Zero Gravity effects mass? maybe a flash or Java site where I can send two balls hurtling at eachother and watch them bounce off the walls?



Thanks in advance!

Zero gravity doesn't affect mass. The mass of something is the same no matter what the force of gravity is.

Boutros

Zero gravity does affect weight though, in the following way:

It makes it zero.

Also if you are accelerating toward the earth at whatever the local gravitational acceleration is you will be in freefall and will float around as though there were no gravity, except the gravity is actually nonzero. That's what happens on orbiting space stations and the like. Earth's gravity is still quite strong up there, it's just that the space station is falling as fast as the astronauts.

ANTVGM64

well my point is that the actual inserty bits would be difficult because inertia could send you spinning. I was looking for maybe a flash animation or something where you can exert force on a Wire Frame skeleton or something, and see what occurs to it in Zero G.

you might be able to find a video of people trying to have sex while swimming or something

i would think that they would have to hold or brace themselves against something. Even astronauts have to brace the binder as they try to write something down, or else they would constantly be trying to push it away.

That video is great! Thanks.

I actually have the paper and power point together, I just need something exciting to put in it other than pictures of the Snuggle Tunnel

Assuming two individuals are in zero gravity, they would have to hold on to each other. Nothing interesting there. You've established that thrusting would cause one body to repel the other. You seem to be missing an important step in intercourse, though -- you can't just constantly thrust.

So sex ends up being more like oscillation. This is ultimately not that different from sex on earth, though.

Septus

It seems like it would mostly be a slower version of sex on earth. I don't think the repulsion would even be a big deal with constant pressure in the opposite direction via keeping a grip.

Where exactly would you find zero gravity?

Bedlam

HAs anyone actually tried zero gravity sex yet?

Between actually going into space and those planes that can simulate zero gravity I figure someone has to have gotten their bone on.

At the very least a high profile porn company looking to make a buck.

NotASenator

You know what doesn't work that well in less-than-earth-gravity situation?

Fluids.

Count Zero

Apparently there was a feature link SciFi/porn film that featured twenty seconds of zero gravity copulation by using one of those planes.

You also need leverage. You would have a very hard time 'oscillating' with both partners in free fall

People, PEOPLE! You're overlooking the exciting outcomes of combining copulating with an almost constant state of nausea.

I'm glad that my power point actually mentions the majority of the things mentioned here, especially fluids.

And I found the video of the zero G sex.

Fuckin' weird.

I'm thinking a modified missionary where her legs are wrapped around you monkey style is really the only way to go about this.

Why yes, two astronauts have designed a velcro suit to allow copulation in zero G's.

Terrendos

I seem to recall reading recently that NASA was considering the study of copulation in low-gravity environments for if/when they start sending rockets on trips longer than "to the moon and back." There was also talk of "testing" on the ISS or a space shuttle but I doubt anything's happened yet.

It would be interesting to see how insemination might work. I'm no biologist so I don't know how the sperm know which way they're swimming, but I assume some part of the process involves gravity.

arcath

There was one married astronaut couple that was on the shuttle/ISS a few years back.

Of course NASA wont ever confirm anything, but if it happened it probably did there.

Got a link? Has it actually been used?

Last I heard, NASA's official position on the matter was basically "We're not saying yes or no", with some reading between the lines indicating that a bit of winking and nudging may have been indicated.

And I thought that was normal.

Some women, Commander Norton had decided long ago, should not be allowed aboard ship; weightlessness did things to their breasts that were too damn distracting. It was bad enough when they were motionless; but when they started to move, and sympathetic vibrations set in, it was more than any warm-blooded male should be asked to take. He was quite sure that at least one serious space accident had been caused by acute crew distraction, after the transit of an unholstered lady officer through the control cabin.

I believe it.

No way, if it was that simple we'd just skip contraceptives and fuck upside down.

Not that it matters, but out of sheer curiosity, why are you writing up a PowerPoint on zero-gravity sex?

ANTVGM64

I'm in a class called the Biology of human reproduction, and we have to do a presentation on some subject of sex we're curious about, hopefully utilizing our major.

Being a TV major I opted to appeal to the lowest common nerd demoninator. Titties and spaceships.

Findings: The Snuggle Tunnel is adorable, but would get quite messy and gooey very quickly. Those Zero G velcro suits wouldn't work, you'd spin out of control.

The development of fetuses is disturbing. Testing on rats was done, muscles never form, as a result rats weren't strong enough to walk under earth's gravity. Certain nueral pathways aren't formed as they require gravitiy for something.


Could use a cool visual aid that is not porn though!

I'm going to need a link to the rat testing.

I've read/seen some stuff on it, as well. Gravity is really important for muscle growth (you don't gain muscle mass if your muscles don't resist against any kind of force). Not sure about the neurons, might have something to do with physical interaction with the environment?

ProPatriaMori

The velcro suits seem foolish to me. That is a problem much more easily and sexily solved with rope.

even with that I'm having a hard time seeing how you'd make it work. I guess the best you could do would be to sort of thrust yourselves around in a circle? But once you'd thrusted once it seems like it would be hard to do anything but continue floating along with that momentum unless you had something to brace yourself against.

I kind of want to write some ISS erotic fan fiction, just to make sure that rule 34 is obeyed. I'm sure they get lonely up there and they don't have any privacy. They gotta be doing something nasty up there and just aren't talking about it.

You know that diaper-wearing astronaut stalker lady would have got her freak on as soon as the shuttle lifted off.

The topic in general is indeed being seriously contemplated but it goes both ways. A low energy transit mission to Mars is a long undertaking, very long. Longer then many marriages, which is NASA's biggest concern. Introducing long term relationships into the equation is something NASA has been trying to avoid like the plague but it's clear that if you're going to send people offworld for several years, things are going to happen. At that point it makes more sense to send married couples but that has two caveats. The first being that it's hard to tell which marriages will survive the transition to an enclosed environment and which ones won't. The second being that you've created an oligarchy. The captain of a ship is always the captain but what of their spouse? You have just introduced a second rank hierarchy, one which may not jive with what's on their uniform.

There have been crews that have caused NASA grief. Skylab 4's team for example took to bickering both among themselves and with the capcom, and precipitated a rule which forbids crews from being composed of all rookies.
