Seeing all the astronauts speaking live to the pope
I could not help but think, wonder what it would be like to have sex in space?

Ugh, the climatic expression on both parties face would be something to behold.




:rofl:

2. How does watching the pope lead one to think of sex?
I can't get there from here.

3. I thought the statement in the CNN story about "first papal call to space" was funny.
What, he can't get through to God? Doesn't God live in "space"?

5. There are rumors it's already happened..
And the effects have been imagined in fiction..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_in_space

The issue of sex in space also appears in a number of science fiction works. In 1973, Isaac Asimov conjectured what sex would be like in the weightless environment of space. He anticipated some of the benefits of engaging in sex in an environment of microgravity.<19> Arthur C. Clarke in turn was quick to point out in a letter to the editor that he had beaten Collins to addressing the matter in the novel Rendezvous with Rama (1973):<20> "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."
Among the films, which include space sex themes, are Moonraker, Moving Violations, Supernova, The Uranus Experiment and Cube 2: Hypercube. In the novelization of Alien, Parker tells Brett about an episode of zero-G sex that went wrong.

6. So it's still fiction then
for now at least, I can't see the astronauts talking about this in public though even
if they've done as an experiment.
