Today's http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1110.html">NASA image got me thinking... http://www.slate.com/id/2159265/">Do Astronauts Have Sex? Surely, with the ISS, someone has gotten it on by now.

[kwassa]

1. who gives a flying fuck?

sorry! couldn't resist.

:rofl:

[TK421]

3. Pffttt....I think you understand the "gravity" of the situation!

:D

[Carnea]

16. More of a floating fuck....nt

[Danger Mouse]

2. But where do the fluids go?

[TK421]

4. Where no man has gone before....let's hope!

:D

[Danger Mouse]

9. Adds a new creative element to swallowing, doesn't it?

Think of that scene from the Simpsons episode 'Deep Space Homer' where he's floating in the air and eating the potato chips but instead of potato chips...

[Lethe]

5. in the Tang

its like a protein shake

[Danger Mouse]

7. Do not want.

:cry:

[femmocrat]

6. Not unless they are already in the ....

"The Mile High Club"

[ironflange]

8. The official line is it hasn't happened

Truly, though, it's hard to believe that it hasn't happened; my guess is that some space boots first got knocked on Mir, or maybe even Salyut. I think it was Asimov who said that sex in space would be more like a dance and less like digging ditches as it is on Earth.

10. Only after chasing the rival across America wearing a diaper...

:evilgrin:

[pokerfan]

13. and a wig!

Wait. Isn't that Bill Shatner?

[Bassic]

11. IBTL

That's if I remember Lounge rules correctly :D

[Fleshdancer]

12. I would

Sex in space?? HELL yeah!

[1]

14. how else would there ever be new, little astronauts?

are they on some endangered list i don't know about?

[Fox Mulder]

15. If they did, then they'd be members of the 217 Mile High Club, right?

[Elidor]

17. I wiki'd it

Because 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), and even hoaxes, such as Document 12-571-3570.

I bet Lee and Davis did the mattress mambo up there.

[swag]

18. They fuck and suck all the time I hear.

It's why they go up there in the first place.

Weightlessness is an important key.

[SPKrazy]

19. Only when they take their diapers off

:P

[madinmaryland]

21. Nice post, Vitter!!

:P

[MilesColtrane]

20. Yes, but it's called "outercourse".

[Solon]

22. All I know is that it would have to involve some velcro straps and would be hell on the air...

filtration systems on the spacecraft. You would have difficulty...uhm...staying together, as it were. Remember, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. :D

[pokerfan]

23. velcro straps?

Yeah, that would be highly unusual... (cough)

[Pierre.Suave]

27. HAHAHAHA

:rofl:

[av8rdave]

24. Many of them have children, so I assume they do

[Tommy_Carcetti]

25. Given that many of them have children, I would venture to say yes.

Oh, wait, you mean in space?

[Iggo]

26. Are astronauts human?

The answer is a resounding "Yes!"

[montanto]

28. What else is there to do??
