Such effects would be a result of factors including gravity changes, radiation, noise, vibration, isolation, disrupted circadian rhythms, stress, or a combination of these factors. Numerous physiological changes have been noted during spaceflight, many of which may affect sex and procreation. Santaguida and colleagues (2022) have further argued that space agencies and private companies should invest in this discipline to address the potential for sexual harassment and assault in space contexts. Dubé and colleagues (2021) proposed that NASA should embrace the discipline of space sexology by integrating sex research into their Human Research Program. Despite this, some researchers have argued that national and private space agencies have yet to develop any concrete research and plans to address human sexuality in space. Īs of 2009, with NASA planning lunar outposts and possibly long-duration missions, the topic has taken a respectable place in life sciences. The discussion of sex in space has also raised the issue of conception and pregnancy in space. If the couple have a combined velocity relative to other objects, collisions could occur. Some difficulty could occur due to drifting into other objects. Consequently, their actions will not change their velocity unless they are affected by another, unattached, object. According to the law, if the couple remain attached, their movements will counter each other. Human sexual activity in the weightlessness of outer space presents difficulties due to Newton's third law. Sex in space is a part of space sexology. Issues include disrupted circadian rhythms, radiation, isolation, stress, and the physical act of intercourse in zero or minimal gravity. The conditions governing sex in space (intercourse, conception and procreation while weightless) have become a necessary study due to plans for long-duration space missions.
