NASA and SEX in space

But ask any of the NASA hierarchy about one of the most human of all things—sexuality in space—and, red-faced, they will quickly change the topic.

 

 

Back in February of 2000 the UK Guardian believed it had a worldwide scoop on space sex. It ran to press with a story about a French researcher that claimed the Russians and Americans had “sex in space for separate research programs.”

They quoted Pierre Kohler, “a respected French scientific writer,” who wowed the British paper and its wide-eyed readers with such juicy tidbits as “The issue of sex in space is a serious one. The experiments carried out so far relate to missions planned for married couples on the future International Space Station, the successor to Mir. Scientists need to know how far sexual relations are possible without gravity.”

 

The Guardian loved it, especially when Kohler went on to cite a secret NASA report about a shuttle mission experiment codenamed STS-XX. The mission presumably tested all sexual positions possible in space. Supposedly NASA had an endless line of volunteers for the mission. It’s dangerous work, but hey, someone has to do it.

 

The Frenchman continued with titillating innuendos such as “Two guinea pigs then tested them [twenty computer-picked positions] in real zero-gravity conditions. The results were videotaped but are considered so sensitive that even Nasa was only given a censored version.”
