I've been thinking, do you think astronauts can have an intimate relationship while in space?

[Kayla45]

For context, a sex life between 2 astronauts. Maybe like on the space station or something?

[MORPHEUS_12]

No, because the zero gravity causes lower blood pressures and blood volume, thus making and erection very difficult. Also space lowers testosterone. This is why astronauts who spend long periods on the ISS have to use a treadmill in space to keep their hearts from decreasing in size. There are also high levels of radation in space and those high levels damage DNA to cause damage to a baby. And if since space affects the hormones of both men and women a woman may end up pregnant but the egg would never implant thus causing a miscarriage. Most women who have been menstruating when they go into space opt to go on birth control to stop their cycle.

[Daniela1982]

Let's say they are on an 8 month mission to Mars and it will be another 8 months back. What happens if the girl gets pregnant and their are complications? They are months away from a hospital or doctor. So it is not a good idea for having sex and you know that is part of a relationship. So I would say no, they can not.

[SarahP080102]

On a mission of that length there would be 1 or 2 doctors on board.

[Daniela1982]

@SarahP080102 It depends on how big the space craft is. This is not Star Trek. The crafts will have to be small.

[Red_Arrow]

A lot can happen besides sex. At least one doctor would be needed.

[Daniela1982]

@Red_Arrow I suppose a doctor can do more than doctoring on a spacecraft but I imagine one would be needed on a long mission.

[Red_Arrow]

Exactly my point.

[ohshee]

I really like this question because when making love or fucking there are moments that when two people become one it is almost as if you're floating making love like the feeling that you're hovering over the bed 6in or something I think that would be absolutely beautiful to make love in space and float

[Red_Arrow]

I can picture it now. A partially naked couple bouncing off the walls trying to het it in the right location, and finally cum flying all over. And as they radio back to earth, mission controls asks "What is that all over your, face? And your front? And the walls of the craft?

[GoldenAxer]

Definitely but that's a pretty long commitment. It's like having a touchy-feely roommate... except you can't move out until some point. You're in outer space!

[simonqq]

Humans will have sex in every possible place they can find. You just can't stop it. So the answer is likely yes and it has likely already happened.

[Madhatter920]

NASA insists that astronauts have never had sex in space, but I find that hard to believe. Trapped together in a confined space for months at a time? C'mon. Surely someone gave it a try "for science."

[TrueConfection]

I wanted to be an astronaut. I would be willing to try this, for the sake of science of course!

[Red_Arrow]

Need a volunteer to experiment with?

[TrueConfection]

@Red_Arrow Are you an astronaut?

[Red_Arrow]

NO, but I wanted to be and would be happy to experiment with you!

[TrueConfection]

@Red_Arrow Only if we go into space.

[Red_Arrow]

You would feel like you have gone into space!

[TrueConfection]

@Red_Arrow How do I know you're not just saying that?

[Red_Arrow]

Guess we are going to have to do it!

[ArrowheadSW]

There is some speculation that it has happened already...

[Daniela1982]

Sure, it is probably overlooked when the Earth is only a thousand miles away for help if they need it.

[ArrowheadSW]

@Daniela1982 The International Space Station is only 271 miles up. Close enough for CVS to send up some "Astroglide" if they need it... LOL!

[Daniela1982]

I thought it was closer than 1000.

[ArrowheadSW]

@Daniela1982 There are apps that you can get that will tell you when it is going overhead at the right time when the sun is shining up on it after sundown. I saw it make a pass last evening actually. And there is a pass tonight that should be visible.

[Daniela1982]

I've seen it go over when in the desert. I can't see shit in the city.

[ArrowheadSW]

@Daniela1982 And I saw it last evening after I posted last on this thread. You'll see it for a few evenings and then it won't be overhead again at the right time for 2-3 more weeks. The passes in the middle of the day and the passes past a certain time at night are not visible because the sun isn't shining on it just right.

[abc3643]

It's probably already happened...

[NathanDavis]

no... astronauts at outer space, should not be fucking it up... that's just a must not

[NathanDavis]

just imagine once they start having sex out there... eventually they will be like "let's spice this space thing up... we should cut off the oxygen... to make it more interesting while we're at it"

[slatyb]

Yes. They would need something to hold them together.

[Agape93]

Yeah

[DJB72]

Physically I don't see why not, but as I understand it NASA and the other agencies have banned it.

[anon1903]

That'd have me riled up 😏

[exitseven]

I have had sex in a swimming pool so I would think it must be similar to weightlessness. So I think it would be possible.
Besides, where there's a will, there's a way.

[Daniela1982]

Hmmm, and how much small cum particles were left circulating in the water? It's especially bad if you do it in a spa.

[exitseven]

@Daniela1982 It's okay, my swimmers can hold their breath underwater.

[Aussie-guy]

I'd be nervous about doing it, with zero gravity it could heighten the risk of slipping out and then getting it wrong on re entry and suffering a "broken" penis. And being that far from medical assistance it would be horrendous.

I'd still probably risk it for the experience.

[cth96190]

The Russians did that as a scientific experiment a long time ago.
Weightlessness would make possible some interesting positions.

[Daniela1982]

And after awhile atrophy your muscles too, and your pecker.

[cth96190]

@Daniela1982 At my age atrophy of the penis is a given. 🤣

[Daniela1982]

:( hmmmm, but weightlessness might keep it up to an extent.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes, but it would be harder to do in some respects, and easier in others.

[convo_king89]

No gravity means pussy arousal juice and semen would be floating around and might create problems with the spaceship equipments

[Wise4myage]

Nope, no way. Their is zero privacy in space.

[vald9inches]

Of course! I can't even begin to imagine how fun that would be and all the crazy sex positions you could do! Lol 😂

[Made4sex]

I do t think there is anything g they can do about it when they are home but I do t think that they are allowed to have relationships in the space station. I have thought about that too though. Like sex in the space station would be so fun! Haha!

[ChiPaPa]

It would be rather funny for the sexual fluids to be floating around the cabin long after.
