The conditions governing sex in space (

radiation, isolation, stress, and the physical acts of intercourse in zero or minimal gravity.[1][2][3]

Sex in space is a part of space sexology.

Overview

Newton's third law. According to the law, if the couple remain attached, their movements will counter each other. Consequently, their actions will not change their velocity unless they are affected by another, unattached, object. Some difficulty could occur due to drifting into other objects. If the couple have a combined velocity relative to other objects, collisions could occur. The discussion of sex in space has also raised the issue of conception and pregnancy in space.[4][5][6][7]

As of 2009[update], with

life sciences. Despite this, some researchers have argued that national and private space agencies have yet to develop any concrete research and plans to address human sexuality in space.[8][9] Dubé and colleagues (2021) proposed that NASA should embrace the discipline of space sexology by integrating sex research into their Human Research Program.[9] Santaguida and colleagues (2022) have further argued that space agencies and private companies should invest in this discipline to address the potential for sexual harassment and assault in space contexts.[10]

Physiological issues

Numerous physiological changes have been noted during spaceflight, many of which may affect sex and procreation, notably circulation and the flow of blood within the body. Such potential effects would likely be caused by a culmination of factors, including gravitational changes, planetary and space radiation, noise, vibration, social isolation, disrupted circadian rhythms, or mental and physical stress.[11]

Gravity and microgravity

The primary issue to be considered in off-Earth reproduction is the lack of

embryogenesis, pregnancy, birth, postnatal maturation, and parental care.[12]

Studies conducted on

microgravity lacked the ability to right themselves.[13] Another study examined mouse embryo fertilization in microgravity. Although this resulted in healthy mice, once implanted at normal gravity, the fertilization rate was lower for the embryos fertilized in microgravity.[14] Currently, no mice or rats have developed while in microgravity throughout the entire life cycle.[15]

In 2006, American

History Channel television documentary.[21][22] It has also been discussed by online writers.[23][24]

History of attempts

It has been claimed that one Soviet mission doctor said that the first mission of a woman together with men in space had intercourse planned. NASA has stated that it knows of no intercourse in space.[25]

Planned attempts

In June 2015, Pornhub announced its plans to make the first pornographic film in space. It launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund the effort, dubbed Sexploration, with the goal of raising $3.4 million in 60 days. The campaign only received pledges for $236,086. If funded, the film would have been slated for a 2016 release, following six months of training for the two performers and six-person crew.[26][27][28][29] Though it claimed to be in talks with multiple private spaceflight carriers, the company declined to name names "for fear that would risk unnecessary fallout" from the carriers.[26] A Space.com article about the campaign mentioned that in 2008, Virgin Galactic received and rejected a $1 million offer from an undisclosed party to shoot a sex film on board SpaceShipTwo.[27]

On July 23, 2006, a Sex in Space panel was held at the

zero gravity and had agreed to an interview for Woodmansee's book.[16] The speakers made presentations that explored "the biological, emotional, and ... physical issues that will confront people moving [off Earth] into the space environment."[35] NBC science journalist Alan Boyle reported on the panel, opening a world discussion of a topic previously considered taboo.[5]

"Sex in Space" was the title of an episode of the

History Channel documentary television series The Universe in 2008. The globally distributed show was dubbed into foreign languages, opening worldwide discussion about what had previously been avoided as a taboo subject. Sex in space became a topic of discussion for the long-term survival of the human species, colonization of other planets, inspired songs, and humanized reasons for space exploration.[7][23][24][36]

Wire-based special effects in Moonraker (1979)

The idea of sex in space appears frequently in science fiction. Arthur C. Clarke claimed to first address it in his 1973 novel Rendezvous with Rama.[37]

In the pilot episode of the Expanse, 'Dulcinea', a scene was shown where the first officer of the ice hauler ship, the Canterbury, was having sexual intercourse with the ship's navigator in zero gravity. The intercourse was met with a sudden interruption when the ship resumed thrust, slamming them both to the bunk bed with the acceleration.

During several attempts, the couple, eyed wide open as if afraid of crashing in to the other, did just that, colliding without successfully linking the suits. Finally, on the eight try, it was mission accomplished.".
