I just picked 200 as an arbitrary number. I'm too lazy to go look up how high astronauts are at Earth orbit.

I'm not sure if this belongs in the science forum either.

Here goes:

With all of the male and female astronauts / cosmonauts that have gone into space together and have stayed in the space station(s) etc., some two people have had to have had the thought of being the first two humans to have sex in space.

I wonder if any couple ever "did it" or if anyone ever claimed the title of first couple to have sex in space? Did they write anything about what it was like? The voyeur in me wants details. Were there any special considerations in a low gravity environment? If the guy pumps too hard does the woman fly across the capsule compartment? I'll bet any boobs would look perky in low gravity.

My apologies if I got too graphic. I am seriously curious about this, however. It would be interesting if anyone had done this and written about it. My bet would be on the cosmonauts.
 
There was a blue move called the uranus experiment that would apprenty answer you questions and zero g "activites"

LOL
Blue movies and red light districts aside, I'm only interested if it happened on a space flight. Not even a zero gravity trainer (high altitude aircraft at full dive).

Where did the term "blue movie" come from?
 
Maxim magazine actual answered this question (to the closest approximation possible) by interviewing several folks at NASA, and a couple of long-duration astronauts.

It doesn't seem likely that any NASA astronauts have done it, but a far more likely source and situation would be in the russian space program. They are and were light years ahead of us in terms of both long-term space living, AND co-ed living in the MIR stations. Several women have had LONG stays in space with 1 or 2 male partners. I have to believe that at the very least (especially under the Soviet nilhilistic/anti-stigmatized culture) that at least the idea came into the crewmates heads. I know I can't go 2 days without wanting to, let alone months and years.

As far as possible, I'd have to guess that it is possible, but not recommended. The fluids and motion would be dangerous on the equipment. A condom would be a MUST, and it would be hard to have any privacy, since last I checked, communications aren't turned off in any section of the stations (?).

Anyone know better then I? I'm curious myself.
 
It's especially unlikely any Americans have sealed the deal in orbit. Pretty much all of our coed flights have been in the space shuttle era and I think you'd have to be pretty uninhibited to screw around with 3-5 other people basically in the same (teeny tiny) room as you.

Yup, I totally agree. The odds are pretty slim. Also, we have kept a crew of at least 3 people on the space station until recently as well. Considering how small they are, and how open the design is, you would almost have to have an audience to pull it off, and even if they weren't in the module you were in, they woudl certainly know what you were doing.

Think of how hard it was to sleep around with your parents in the house on a different floor. Now, imagine 2 walk-in closets seperated by a 2 foot hallway, with no doors. Get the picture?

I believe MIR has done numerous 2-3 person crews though, and often co-ed. Again, I think human nature woudl have a hard time avoiding it. Also, the chance of conception woudl be slim if they were using a condom of some sort (even a 'homemade' one), and one would almost have to be used to protect the instrumentation.


Earthborn did put some good posts up with some good points though.
 
I'm not 100% convinced that it has never happened. Yes, I understand the privacy issue, but there have been people caught having marital relations aboard commercial aircraft (sometimes not in the lavatory). I also understand that it would be quite unprofessional as well; after all it is a place of employment.

On the other hand, NASA did send a married couple on a shuttle mission in 1992. It is at least possible that the crew was obliging enough to turn their backs for an "extra-planetary first." The couple denies doing it in space (but then again, you would expect that because if they admitted it, they would probably be grounded).

However, if such experiment was only about testing different sexual positions, it had nothing to do with a science. After a period of adaptation for weightlessness, people will not need any special devices, like elastic belts or inflatable tubes to have sex in space," said Dr. Serova.

All my sex has been in a one-G environment, but I prefer adding elastic belts and inflatable tubes when I knock boots.

Yes, people have thought about it. No, it hasn't happened yet.

That hardly constitutes proof that it hasn't happened yet. I'd put money on the Russians winning that race.

No, that was The Spy Who Loved Me. Bond and the Russian, Anya Amasova, got it on in a submarine escape pod. The Bond girl in Moonraker was Lois Chiles, who played Dr. Holly Goodhead.
Yours in Bondage,
 
A porno company recently rented a Russian cargo plane to do the zeri gravity thing so that two porn actors (male/female) could actually attempt zero-gravity sex. Apparently they only had enough money for one take....

Appparently....so I've heard...on the grapevine....

From my own first-hand experiences with zero-g, I suspect that most people would find it difficult to focus on the sex while panicking from the freefall. At least initially. However, if the Ron Howard film "Apollo 13" is any indication, actors may be better at it despite such short acclimation periods.
