Sex in Space? NASA Says No, but Pornhub Wants to Reach This Final Frontier

[TexasTowelie]

It's the question everyone longs to know about the final frontier: Have astronauts ever had sex in space?

Officially, NASA denies any such thing and there are no official, confirmed, yes-they-definitely-got-it-on reports about anyone doing it in space. (The idea of space sex is so good, though, that it has inspired at least one hoax. Pierre Kohler, the author of The Last Mission, claimed that NASA had commissioned a study on sexual positions in space back in 2003, complete with special two-person sleeping bags to make getting together a bit easier in low-gravity situations. The claim was debunked, but that hasn't stopped people from continuing to be fascinated with the idea of getting it on in orbit.)

But as we get closer to making the dream of sending astronauts on the very long trip to Mars a reality, it's understandable that people are wondering if a little space love (whether of the personal kind or via a duo) has ever happened or is even that likely.

There's been gossipy excitement over this idea ever since the first woman went to space in 1982, but the odds are good that if it's ever happened the space sex was more about the novelty of nookie in space and less about the actual joy of it. Logistically, it doesn't seem like having sex in space would be that easy or terribly fun.

1. The " Hundred Mile High Club" exists

Humans have been experimenting since the early days of Shuttle.
Before the sleeping bags were the bungee cords.
Not easy at first, but certainly fun.

(No, I won't tell you how I know this..)

3. Oh, come on...tell us.

5. I heard it was called the "3 Dolphin Club"

And those who participated wore a small pin with 3 Dolphins.

2. Well, it makes the Intenet go round...

Seriously I think I've read that the majority of packets racing around the Internet are X-rated...

4. Well, the science is worth exploring.

My question: Does low-to-zero gravity have an effect on blood-flow to the penis during sexual excitement? Questions like this need to be answered if we ask people to spend more and more time in orbit and beyond.

6. 1982 was the first American woman in space.

The Russians had a woman astronaut back in 1963.

Back when real spacecraft had tail fins.
