Sex, the final frontier: Nasa acts to ensure that astronauts don't follow their urges

By Charles Arthur, Technology Editor

29 April 2004

In the First World War, frontline troops who were away from their loved ones for long periods famously had bromide put into their tea to reduce the distraction of their sexual drive. But yesterday it was suggested that such measures might be taken a lot further - to Mars, in fact.

Dr Rachel Armstrong, speaking yesterday at a British Interplanetary Society symposium on the Human Future and Space, said the US space agency Nasa was considering how to deal with the natural urges of astronauts travelling on long journeys such as a three-year trip to Mars, where the six-strong crew would be likely to include two women.

I personally feel they are taking this issue to the extreme. I don't think they should chemically sterilize people to keep them from having sex in space. It just feels wrong to me like they are taking away someone's right to choose to make their own decisions.And as far as murder occuring that's possible but I mean really do they just want to turn the whole world into robots like the Matrix? People need and have to be able to make their own decisions.

A lot could happen in three years in a tin can headed to a dead planet. Futile exercise in the first place.

i suppose you could just keep pressing the suction button, it would be similar to those suction penis sex toy things..

i guess that depends on how strong the suction is. if it ended up being too strong then that would be embarrasing for the guy who tried it, not only would the entire world know he tried something like that, but his penis would be floating around space somewhere.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
