<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>Even if a couple physically finds a way to "couple" in zero gravity, I don't think I'd want it to happen. Astronauts already suffer from bone degradation when they spend time in zero g. And then there is the matter of cosmic radiation. I'd hate to have a couple conceive some mutant with extremely brittle bones and no hemoglobin, or some weird stuff like that. <br /><p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br /> Though i'd hate to see any bad outcome of such an event, i cant help but wonder what positive effects zero G conception could have. Would zero G affect the ease with which conception occurs? Could there be a key to preventing bone loss in such an experiment? Could the act of sex, which is noted as one of the best forms of exercise for both mind and body, affect the mental state of astronauts in a positive productive capacity, as well as overall mental health?<br /><br /> Sex has a way of waking up alot of primal elements in our bodies. It's affects are still not entirely known.<br /><br /><br /> Btw, to get around the bouncing away effect, just do it in a smaller area. That way both can do some work, though very little effort in zero G. To get around fluids floating around, perhaps a shared wrap that either traps or soaks up the fluids, to later be removed. This same wrap could also provide the elasticity for the "bungie" effect to assist in the act. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"<font color="#333399">An organism at war with itself is a doomed organism." - Carl Sagan</font></em> </div>
