Toys in space

Sex Tips & Talk

Watching the news tonight there was a piece about the space station and new crew arriving. They are going to be there for 6 months. This got me thinking do you think they take toys with them. Could they take electrical items?
What do you think?

I guess you’d have to be very careful about bodily fluids drifting off and getting into things, plus it’s not possible to wash anything while they’re up there either! Maybe they have to go down the strict celibacy route? :scream:

Now i’m imagining spheres of sperm floating majestically to the tune of Thus Spake Zararthustra!

Boringly pedantic spoilsport answer:
Everything an astronaut takes into space in their “personal preference kit” has to be cleared by NASA, and the pack must not exceed certain limits on dimensions and weight.

This page is pretty interesting too!

would ‘thrusting’ toys work with that equal and opposite reaction stuff?

Provided you were braced against some part of the superstructure, I guess it would work fine. If you were free-floating, though, it might impart enough directional thrust to push you along …very, very slowly! :rofl:

Just read about “off gassing”, that’d rule me out completely especially with the amount of onions and chillies I eat :slight_smile:

6 months would be a long time to go without any form of sexual relief, but I just can’t see much being approved for flight, and aren’t astronauts vitals monitored 24/7? This would rule out any chance of privacy for a quick wank…

Six months in mixed company and not a single fumble? Dammit, they’re only human! My money’s on sex-drive killing drugs… :wink:

I’m not sure whether knowing your every move was being watched would be a turn off or turn on…?

Maybe the guys just take an extra few pairs of socks lol.

Or tell the techies monitoring their vitals that they are going to “exercise” hehe

There’s supposed to be a mass of condoms at Olympic stadium villages, which makes sense. World’s best athletes all getting together would be hard to resist! I can’t see why the elite astronauts can’t get up to enjoying their body for science… They need exercise after all!

I would need some medication to do that, I get very pissy with out sex and I doubt anyone would enjoy it.

I bet they get meds.
Anecdotally, I have heard the WW1 soldiers were given bromide to curb sex drive - same ingredient is used in some modern day anti-depressants.
A few on this forum have mentioned a lack of drive while on medication. I guess everyone has to work out the advantages and disadvantages.
