    Lol. Chances for accidentally short circuit something with stray fluid are much much higher than creating a new human this way.

    it’s highly unlikely, fluids stick together and make drops in the air which you can easily see and avoid. and also, come on, women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm floating through the air is even less likely that women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm swimming in the water of the public swimming pool …

      The chlorination of a public swimming pool is deadly to sperm, so I imagine the chances on a spaceship are a lot higher.

      Also “easily seeing and avoiding” is just not realistic. You don’t have eyes on your vulva that are focused on checking for stray sperm globs 24/7.

    People venturing outside of our atmosphere are advised against pleasuring themselves in zero gravity.

    The reason? Female astronauts could accidentally get impregnated by stray fluids.

    Seems all they have to do is invent some kind of nutsack.

        The chances of a solar particle hitting your RAM and causing a bit to flip are tremendously unlikely as well, but there’s hardware made to prevent that from happening (I realize ECC does more than that).

        All of the greatest inventions which revolutionized key aspects of our daily lives have begun in aerospace engineering.

        Pens that write upside down. Ice cream that doesn’t melt. Cock socks that don’t leak and are easy to clean.

        This is why we fund NASA!

    I’m not looking to have a baby, but I gotta admit that if I were an astronaut and the one-in-a-million chance of getting impregnated by floating sperm happened, that’d be incredible. I’d have the first baby conceived in space! What a cool story to have in a family’s lore.

    Of course, that’s provided it survives the rest of the trip.

    “Three female astronauts can be impregnated by the same man on the same session… it finds its way,” Smyth replied.

    Not buying it at all… I’m not saying it’s impossible but the odds must be astronomical (no pun intended) just for one pregnancy… not even in a million years. Life finds a way, I know, but come on!

      No, it’s true. Female astronauts usually float around up there with their twats out; spread wide open to air it out, and nearly every time a male astronaut blasts some rope, it floats straight to it obviously.
