Has s*x been performed in outer space?

Question

i think it must feel out-of-this world.

Answer 1

Officially no.

In reality?  It's probably been tried.  However, without gravity (and without privacy) it would have been very difficult.

Answer 2

NASA did fly a married couple on one of the Shuttle missions.  They weren't married at the time they were assigned, but were by the time they flew.

NASA has a don't ask/don't tell policy.  However, there isn't much room on a space shuttle.  Or much privacy.  Seven people go up.  So my guess is no.

There was no pregnancy as evidence afterwords.  But that doesn't mean much, as women generally use birth control pills to regulate exactly when their period happens when in space.

You can get much the same feeling as weightlessness under water.  That can be done in the privacy of your own hot tub. Consider it a scientific experiment.  Don't forget to report your results! Don't skimp on the details - they're very important.

What are you still reading for?  Get moving!

Answer 3

as far as we know.. no..

but who's to say what goes on in the shuttle.... could be a 7 person orgy for all we know.

tell you one thing tho... i'd definately make sure she swallowed, cuz i really don't feel like dodging floating cumm.

Answer 4

It was great!

Answer 5

yeah, its called space cowboy s*x and i think captain kirk did !

Answer 6

Lol. I bet the public would get pretty mad seeing their millions of dollars wasted on s*x in space.

Answer 7

No certain sexual intercourse in space is known to have occurred, the topic is hotly disputed to clarify its potential impact on human beings in the isolated, confined, and hazardous environment of space. However, the ongoing discussions often include several speculations (e.g., about the STS-47 mission, on which married astronauts Mark C. Lee and Jan Davis flew),

It is assumed that the nervous and vestibular systems may fail to develop properly in individuals growing up in a low or zero gravity environment, and that this would have implications for space-born humans making the trip to Earth though the possibility of Zero Gravity Pregnancy is currently uncertain.

Science fiction and popular science writer Isaac Asimov made conjectures in writing about what s*x would be like in the weightless environment of space, in 1973. He anticipated some of the benefits of engaging in s*x in an environment of microgravity.

NASA remains silent if there have been s*x on space shuttle missions; NASA spokesman Bill Jeffs stated "We don't study sexuality in space, and we don't have any studies ongoing with that...If that's your specific topic, there's nothing to discuss".

A leading Soviet research facility in the field of space medicine, The Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBP), has been involved for decades in the s*x-related studies of living species in space. The Institute's interest in topic began in the early 1960s, when it noticed a difference in behavior between two dogs that had flown in space, Veterok and Ugolyok. Ugolyok, unlike Veterok, maintained quite a healthy libido during his longer-than-average life span.

A 1976 article reported that an exposure of Wistar rats to 22 days of weightlessness and other space flight factors induced no morphological changes in the spermatogenic tissue or disorders in the spermatogenic process of the rats, and the offspring of the male "space rats" was normal in all aspects.

Regarding human s*x, Dr. Anna Goncharova said that if crew members are just colleagues and friends, one should never impose on them any intimate relations for the sake of their psycho-emotional stability.  It was rumored that the unhappy marriage of Soviet cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova and Andrian Nikolayev was in part instigated by the pressure of the IBP.

Answer 8

Yes its called Tex s*x

Answer 9

If you're willing to broaden your definition of "s*x" to include non-human species, then the answer is, "Yes".  Here is a link to an article about an experiment with fruit fly breeding in space (done, in part, to test problems with genetics associated with radiation in space):

If you want to confine your question to Homo Sapiens, however, the answer is "probably not".  However, there has been plenty of opportunity- as missions on the Shuttle and ISS are quite long, so maybe a pair snuck off for a quickie at one point and didn't tell anyone.

Consider, however, that even on long missions, most of the Astronauts' days are crammed full of activity.  It's awfully expensive to get people into space and any unauthorized "activity" would likely be frowned upon- even if it only lasts 15 minutes.

Answer 10

I doubt it seriously. Unless you count masturbation.  Privacy constraints would make it difficult.  So would a few of Newton's laws. It could get painful and dangerous.

Answer 11

Between humans? I highly doubt it. Depending upon how vigorous the couple were, it might not be that enjoyable. Remember, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In a weightless environment, you would end up banging (no pun intended) against walls and what not, That would take some of the fun out of it. However there have been experiments with mice and insects reproducing  in space. The results were not very encouraging.

Answer 12

Haha! Good one.
