people when they think of space they

people when they think of space they typically imagine zero-g where

typically imagine zero-g where

typically imagine zero-g where everything is floating but that’s not a

everything is floating but that’s not a

everything is floating but that’s not a prerequisite for being in space if you

prerequisite for being in space if you

prerequisite for being in space if you have a rotating Space Station by way of

have a rotating Space Station by way of

have a rotating Space Station by way of this centrifugal force of the rotating

this centrifugal force of the rotating

this centrifugal force of the rotating wheel you can create any fraction of

wheel you can create any fraction of

wheel you can create any fraction of gravity you want even 1g which would be

gravity you want even 1g which would be

gravity you want even 1g which would be equivalent to earth right on that outer

equivalent to earth right on that outer

equivalent to earth right on that outer perimeter so if you could be in space

perimeter so if you could be in space

perimeter so if you could be in space and on that perimeter in 1g and it is no

and on that perimeter in 1g and it is no

and on that perimeter in 1g and it is no different than what you’d be doing here

different than what you’d be doing here

different than what you’d be doing here on earth at all but if you don’t rotate

on earth at all but if you don’t rotate

on earth at all but if you don’t rotate up and you’re sort of drifting towards

up and you’re sort of drifting towards

up and you’re sort of drifting towards your destination you are weightless and

your destination you are weightless and

your destination you are weightless and then everything is different if you’re

then everything is different if you’re

then everything is different if you’re having sex in a weightless environment

having sex in a weightless environment

having sex in a weightless environment you need things like straps you’re

probably some people who are fully equipped with this anyway but I’m just

equipped with this anyway but I’m just

saying you begin to see the

saying you begin to see the manifestations of Newton’s laws of

manifestations of Newton’s laws of

manifestations of Newton’s laws of motion you’re there floating in space

motion you’re there floating in space

motion you’re there floating in space and then you you move towards someone

and then you you move towards someone

and then you you move towards someone and they just sort of bounce off and

and they just sort of bounce off and

and they just sort of bounce off and then you know the movement is sort of

then you know the movement is sort of

then you know the movement is sort of preserved there’s no friction there’s no

preserved there’s no friction there’s no

preserved there’s no friction there’s no so there you go so if you want to sort

so there you go so if you want to sort

so there you go so if you want to sort of get together stay together you need

of get together stay together you need something to like to keep you together

something to like to keep you together

something to like to keep you together during all the normal body movements

during all the normal body movements

during all the normal body movements that we characterize having sex in space

that we characterize having sex in space

that we characterize having sex in space so yeah just just bring a lot of leather

so yeah just just bring a lot of leather

so yeah just just bring a lot of leather belts to keep things strapped down and
