Sex in Space

Sex in the workplace is looked down upon, but what if you cannot leave your workplace and are forced to be there for years at a time? This is a problem astronauts will face as they are travelling to Mars in the future. Humans are creatures that have hormones and want to have sex. On a long mission to Mars it will defiantly show up. NASA currently does not ban sex between crew members and has commented by saying "We depend and rely on the professionalism and good judgment of our astronauts," said NASA spokesman Ed Campion. "There is nothing specifically or formally written down about sex in space." NASA has not gone into any more depth about the topic of sex in space. A recent book written by a French astronomer, however, alleges NASA studied the feasibility of 10 sex positions in space during a space shuttle mission in 1996, though this claim has been discredited, and has been vigorously denied by NASA. We will have to see in the future if NASA will choose to deal with this topic or keep avoiding it until it just happens.
