Sci-fi writers have been all over it, but hard data is hard to come by because the only way to get low g environments on earth is to put a plane into a semi-parabolic dive. The effect doesn't last long (if it does, it's not a happy ending) and while I'm certain someone rich and bored has tried it, I haven't seen reports.

My guess is it would be hard to coordinate. There are a lot of forces involved and in free fall they'd all have opposing reactions that are hard to compensate for. Gravity does usefully help keep things pinned down. I suppose you'd compensate with restraining straps and elastic...

I can think of interesting experiments involving magnets, but the practical problems are likely staggering.

IIRC, there is a company in Florida that offers ballistic flights for erotic purposes -- also certified membership in the "Mile High Club."

I suspect there is a bunch of data somewhere, but sequestered by Privacy clauses in the contracts.

Hands needs to learn, "don't press 'Submit'" when he's pissed.

ps: "pissed" in Oz is drunk, not mad or angry...

Or suck it up and fucking deal with what comes with shitposting.

I thought the ISS had articficial gravity? Either way, I would hate to work there for xyears and not get laid.

Adam (meaning man) and Eve (meaning woman) were planted in the Garden (probably in Kyrgyzstan because apples) and as the ET-alien {JHWH} was too terrible-awesome to behold in person, relied on angels (messengers) to carry word back and forth. The serpent (meaning reptile -- was probably a talking lizard) was, to A&E, only another messenger bringing a rules update. Alas, A&E are betrayed by {JHWH}!! They've no option but to steal {JHWH}'s starship and head for Tau Ceti IV to start a new life under friendlier stars.

Their escape maddens stranded {JHWH} who gains vengeance-in-its-mind by cloning A&E (tossing in Lilith and the Nephilim) and besetting them and their offspring with curses, sin, and all sorts of unholy shit. Meanwhile, the original A&E settled-in nicely in their exile, raised good descendants, and turned Tau Ceti IV into a nice paradise (meaning enclosed garden). Will they ever return to rescue Earthbound humanity? Can they overcome orange-haired demons?

Far out, man.

No; not from what I've read.
It is a gravity-free environment.

Well, not *really* zero-gee but effectively so, with Earth's gravity balanced by orbital velocity. Without gravity the ISS would go flying off. But I digress. ISS is not spun for artificial gravity. Cosmonauts float around listening to their bones decalcify and internal fluids gel. And they fart a lot. Not exactly erotic, hey?

Shitposting? Huh? I did a nice analysis.

Iggy Stardust time. Bye now!

Is this one of the reasons for the underwear that reacts to methane and changes the fart to something less unpleasant ?

Those would be better than someone sticking a charcoal canister up your ass.

ACTIVATED charcoal, sir. The de-activated kind ain't worth doodly-squat. But maybe a bunch of those pine-tree car-scent thangs would work, the kind featured in REPO MAN. They glow, too. Just what we need on a space station. Just be careful not to let any giant iguanas or other big lizards on board. Their anal emissions stink something awful.

Back to space-station sex. As I mentioned, a real SS designed for long-term habitation will be spun for artificial gravity. I propose a special sex room that extends from the axis to the rim, encompassing all gravitational zones. A couple (or trio or more) with tab-A-into-slot-B connectivity start weightless and are steadily drawn down into increasing gravity for firmer penetration. Cue the pounding when they hit bottom.

NOTE: Zero-G will be best for long oral-genital daisychains.

I remember reading about them having some sort of gyroscopic systems to induce gravity.

Did he really...? Oh that's just peachy. Our only interraction based off responses to his deleted post I never read. bwahahaha I guess he is a dick...a petty dick. I was right.

Not from what I have read. The gyros referred to are for 'orientation', so the sails are pointing at the sun for power (about 4kW each, I think).
