“What do you mean you don’t do it? Everybody does it. I love to do it. I just did it and I’m ready to do it again.” - Mel Brooks in “History of the World Part I”
SciGuy, Eric Berger, from Chron.com posed a few interesting questions recently on his blog, namely has anyone ever done “IT” in space. Now, I know many geeks out there might see this question and think, “Well, I’m in IT and I can tell you that getting into space is all about technology, so of course IT has been done in space.” The IT is not “Information Technology” there, Big Boy. We’re talking about sex, coitus, doing the deed, f*cking, hitting it, banging, doin’ the nasty…you get the idea.
Here are his thoughts:
And now, for the big question: has anyone ever had sex in space before? Possibly. The crew of STS-47 included a married couple, N. Jan Davis and Mark C. Lee, who declined interviews after the flight. But whether it actually happened is only answered by a universe of rumor, innuendo and legend. There’s been no kissing and telling — yet.
Finally, might some astronauts have masturbated? Not only is it possible, it’s probable as at least one mission physician recommended it to the astronauts out of concern for infected prostate glands.
There is most definitely a thing as too much information. Yeesh. If dudes were jacking it in space, I don’t want to know about it.
And, let’s face it, the first advanced use of the interweb after the trading of Star Trek collectibles was porn. So, I’d be more shocked if someone HASN’T had sex in space. As for masturbation, most of the astronauts have been men. Nuff said.
“Space Nookie” = The name of my future band. As soon as I learn how to play something . . .
