    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.

    It’s a valid emergency propulsion method and I’m sick of being told it’s not.

    One day I’m gonna save a space station, that will show them.

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

    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.

    NASA scientists says-

    Shouldn’t it be “NASA scientist says-” or “NASA scientists say-”

    I’m dyslexic and not native English speaker so I’m not sure. But it sounds weird when I say it in my head.

    Than about the other thing: the subject. Doctors say it’s necessary to ejaculated at least once a week to lower the chance of prostate cancer. Also, not doing anything about being horny is fucked up. I’m wearing a catheter for 4 weeks (one and half weeks to go) and it sucks so bad. Every woman I see makes me horny now, whenever I see something sexy like a bikini in a commercial or 2 people kissing during a show, I get a woodie, which hurts because I had surgery on my eurethra. Every night, the entire night, I have a woodie. I know, because the pain it causes keeps me awake. The longer the horniness is cropped up, the worse it gets. I know astronauts didn’t have surgery down there, but not jurking off makes many men bombs of cropped up horniness. It can also affect concentration and performance of tasks. Men need their relief. As do women.

    So, NASA scientists, why don’t you invent a seed killing, particle capturing jerkoff sock for astronauts. It sounds stupid but it’s oh so important.

    Edit: about the Grammer, I was right.

    Also, what a slop website.

          I figured. Personally, it makes a difference to think of the word in amore concise cognitive meaning to distinguish them. They’re so fine a line of a vowel, even between those two parituclar such.

          I cna read what you do write well enough to see that you do think well and we would all likely benefit from your development. You’re good enough as it is to see that you will.

    false article, but fun fact!

    astronauts on Mir got porn sendt up, as well as having a small supply of alcohol for special occasions.

    aaand nobody got pregnant.
