Sex in space: Why it's worrying that the space tourism sector hasn't considered the consequences
Humans have a knack for sharing intimate moments in unlikely places, as membership of the mile-high club demonstrates. So there is a significant chance that the launch of the space tourism sector may be swiftly followed by the first sex in space.
This article fails to address the most critical issue with cosmic sex: zero-G fluid proliferation. They might need to institute a rule against squirters, and just imagine the cabin after scat play in space.
No, I don't particularly want to imagine that, thank you.
Oh come on, it's not like I asked you to picture your own conception right down to the expression on your mom's face when your dad creampied her. That would have just been cruel.
Well, we have all been to a waterpark, no? The second case poses more difficult issues, though.
Some people have more Delta-V than others
@zhunk Is that because they have better Isp, more thrust available or just more fuel mass?

This is an interesting take but I feel like space pregnancy isn't the thing to be worried about.
Sexual assault in space is kind of a weird one, too, at the very least with respect to space tourism.
There are already loads of scenarios on Earth where even properly responding to an assault means that the victim and attacker are in the same vehicle for a meaningful length of time. Space doesn't change that.
The ISS has been continuously occupied for decades. Are we really pretending that none of them had sex?
I'd honestly be very surprised if "first couple to have sex is space" was a crown still up for grabs.
