While humans imagine themselves going to live on Mars, We-Vibe, specialist in sex toys, and American scientists, have begun to study the question of sexuality in space.
Sex holds a major place in the life of a human being. In 2021, if these questions are central to people’s health, the subject still remains taboo in certain areas. Space is one of them. Do astronauts, astronauts, cosmonauts and other taikonauts have sexuality? And if so, how does it unfold? Difficult to answer these questions. However, faced with the prospect of seeing space missions lengthen, and even the possibility of going to live on Mars become more concrete, we will have to find an answer. We-Vibe, one of the world leaders in the manufacture of sex toys, and the American researchers of the company Erobotics Research Consulting, began to look into the subject and published their first report – relayed by Futura Sciences – this Wednesday, September 22.
The report is titled “Sex Tech in space? The relevance of sexuality in space for audiences and agencies” and begins to address the first solutions to continue having sexuality in space, whether as a couple or alone. Abstinence can obviously be considered. But difficult to imagine possible on a mission of several years. The use of sex toys also seems possible.
Sex without gravity, is it possible?
“Facilitating masturbation or partner sex could help astronauts relax, sleep and relieve pain”, underlines the report, which however puts things in perspective and poses several questions which will call, in the future, of precise scientific answers. How, for example, to make love without gravity? “Without sufficient gravity, bodies cannot attract each other.” There are many problems of intimacy and logistics, in order to make love with a partner.
We-Vibe and Erobotics Research Consulting believe, in their first results, that technology should help solve a lot of these questions.
