These cheeky articles about sex in space always get too much attention. This article makes it seem as though space in sex will fuel the entire space tourism industry. I don't entirely disagree on the subject - but I mostly disagree. Primarily I am including this article because Karen Moores points out a fact that had escaped my imagination; namely that the human heart does not work as hard in a zero-g environment as it will on earth. This results in lower blood pressure, leading effectively to erectile difficulties. She also points out the obvious problem with the laws of physics and trying to conjoin two bodies.
