Heh! I can imagine...
“Open the pod bay door please, Hal.”
The article means to say that conception and pregnancy in space might be tough.
The sex itself might be unusual, but that is not discussed in the article.
Laz has it all figured out. It involves bungie cords!
"US and Russian astronauts have had sex in space for separate research programmes on how human beings might survive years in orbit, according to a book published yesterday.
"Pierre Kohler, a respected French scientific writer, says in The Final Mission: Mir, The Human Adventure that the subject is taboo both at Nasa and at mission control in Moscow, but that cosmic couplings have taken place.
"'The issue of sex in space is a serious one,' he says. 'The experiments carried out so far relate to missions planned for married couples on the future International Space Station, the successor to Mir. Scientists need to know how far sexual relations are possible without gravity.'
"He cites a confidential Nasa report on a space shuttle mission in 1996. A project codenamed STS-XX was to explore sexual positions possible in a weightless atmosphere.
"Twenty positions were tested by computer simulation to obtain the best 10, he says. 'Two guinea pigs then tested them in real zero-gravity conditions. The results were videotaped but are considered so sensitive that even Nasa was only given a censored version.'
"Only four positions were found possible without 'mechanical assistance'. The other six needed a special elastic belt and inflatable tunnel, like an open-ended sleeping bag.
"Mr Kohler says: 'One of the principal findings was that the classic so-called missionary position, which is so easy on earth when gravity pushes one downwards, is simply not possible.'"

I’m too old anyway.
Never thought about velcro as a sexual aide but we may have to.
“Hooked, for her pleasure”
“Deep space probe?”
Deep space nine!
thats a LOL....
tmi
Velcro!!!!!
“Only four positions were found possible...”
Find the right test subjects (who might not be found through typical NASA recruitment) and you’ll discover a lot more positions than that.
There needs to be more experimentation on this. They should send me and eight score blonds and brunettes, all between sixteen and nineteen and a half, to space outpost Anthrax for further analysis.
Try hispanic astronauts....they can do it.
There is an engineer out there who with the right
motivation WILL find an answer.
As far as reproduction, sperm and eggs may be frozen
and protected till the destination is reached.
As far as sex I would be willing to bet it’s
already happened.
Never thought about velcro as a sexual aide
Remember velcro is just a substitute for knots...
"My boys need a house!"
Akin to trying it while standing up in a hammock. sd
I’m confused by the following, can’t we shield a spaceship from cosmic rays?
ya but you really could bring the term “Spinner” to a whole new level!!
Do cosmic rays turn your grapes to raisins?
