Don't you just love the blissfully floating couples in zero gravity love scenes? Like in this scene from a great movie called 'Supernova'. It's looks dreamy and romantic. And who
wouldn't want to have sex with the sultry James Spader, or sensuous Angela
Bassett in this scene?
Turns out that in zero gravity, having sex suspended in the
middle of a room isn't just a lovely affectation that looks good on the big
screen. It's a necessity. Space sex has some challenges, and the main one is
staying together. If you try to do it near a surface, like a bed, all your
bumping and grinding is going to bounce you right out of your lover's embrace
and against the ceiling and walls.
So, a solution for this is floating with your sweetie, or
sweeties (lucky you), as far away from everything else in your quarters as you
can get. Baring an attack on your battlestar by an alien ship, you should be
able to romp unencumbered by the annoyance of ratcheting off the furniture
.
But, alas, it's not so
simple. How do you get into the middle of the room? Pushing off a surface in
zero gravity will send you floating…all the way to the other side of the room.
With no gravity to stop your momentum, you'll keep going until you encounter
another object. And that, folks, is our solution. You get yourself and your
partner into mid-air bliss by launching off opposite walls and colliding in the
middle. Kind of cool, uh?
I love this for writing a sex scene in space. Like the scene
in 'Supernova' having my characters drift around in a roomy space with the
stars as their backdrop sounds like fun to write. They could get up to all
kinds of positions not possible with gravity smashing them against a surface.
For myself, I wouldn't have faith in my ability to
coordinate it correctly. Seems like it would take some practice in real life.
I'd worry we'd just end up bouncing around together, or would accidently get
separated and be suck in the middle of the room with no leverage to escape the
to the nearest surface. I think I'd prefer a sex sack. You know, a multi-person
sleeping bag strapped to a wall or something. Cozy, intimate. Does leave room
for much gravity-less gymnastics, but I could put in a suction pump to drain
the sweat droplets.
Which would you go for? Mid-air collision or sex sack?
