The “final frontier” presented on Star Trek is not exactly the final frontier astrophysicists are seeking to explore today. After sorting through all the sciencey stuff to reach our current point of exploration, a few deep thinkers began to consider the matter of sex in space.
That’s correct, our final
frontier is the serious study of boinking in space.
Sex in space poses more than a
few challenges. For one thing, in zero gravity, your partner will tend to float
away at first touch. Sustaining most
sexual positions will require some substitute for gravity. There is also the more indelicate matter of preventing
any hairs, fluids, and so forth from freely drifting about.
Furthermore, the plumbing
within our human bodies may experience problems. According to an article I read at
yahoo.com:
“A lack of gravity causes the
body’s fluids to shift around and affect multiple parts. Your muscles and
nerves—in all the important places—can experience physical pressure they’ve
never felt before. The whole environment can upend all the ways you know your
body to work—and that’s going to eventually affect sex.”
Sex is complicated enough here
on Earth, but sex in space is complex on several new levels. Some scholars at Concordia University in
Montreal, go as far as to advocate for the formation of an “intersectoral
advisory board” in which a range of specialists—sexologists, sex tech experts,
ethical advisors—could work together in creating a sex guide for future space
inhabitants.
This makes sense to me. As a species, where we go sex goes.
