And if they do, where do they throw out the condoms? You sure don't want stuff leaking out and floating around in zero gravity!!

wow, think of what that would feel like in zero gravity.. sweet.

I'm guessing that yes, the 200-mile-high club already has members. It's only a matter of time before NASA sends up a husband/wife team or something like that to investigate the effects of being isolated in space on all aspects of a marriage. If we were to ever colonize other planets, you'd need to know about that. If NASA doesn't do it, it will definitely happen when space tourism becomes common. There'll probably be a line of couples at the lavatories during the zero-g portion of those short space-shots.

The space station is a place of science and research. Everything is tested there from new and hopefull miracle drugs to simple ways humans react to zero gravity. For lack of better words, if you think it's been done, it probably has been done. As far as the condom thing, maybe they use them, maybe they don't. But you can answer your own question by asking yourself, what happens to the stuff when they go to the bathroom? I'm sure they have some sort of trash receptacle up there.

Good question! But, I don't think that NASA would allow that to happen. The Russians have only sent THREE women into space (Valentina Tereshkova, Svetlana Savistkaya, and Elena Kondakova). Elena was the only cute one (the other two were dogs--I guess Laika wasn't the ONLY one).
But, seriously, it would be interesting to conduct "reproductive experiments"--having sex while whizzing by at 17,500 mph., and 250 miles above Earth!
That 250 miles, BTW, is far less distance than the 900 miles from Houston to Orlando that AstroNUT Lisa Nowak traveled, (in a diaper), to confront the woman getting in the way of her MAN! So, distance-wise, it would NOT be a record, but, speed-wise, BOY, would THAT be an experience!

There's been no comment from NASA on that front; (and yes - it *has* been asked), but they have been doing some research in the area, as far as psychological & relational areas go.
I personally think it'd be fun, but while the rendezvous & docking procedures would be great - I can imagine maintaining a 'hard dock' would be a challenge...

I seriously doubt they do. I don't think relationships are allowed at NASA and definitely not between nationalities. But who's to say that the blood would rush to the "appropriate" places in zero gravity anyway!!

space porn is the next leap in adult videos, NASA is missing out on a huge revenue source, imagine the new positions you could invent from zero gravity sex.

call the space station and find out.

I'm sure something happens up there once in a while ..and who says they use condoms?

There is not yet any OFFICIAL membership in the Hundred-Mile Club.
