Zero-G Spot: Difference between revisions

** Inverted when a girl specifically engineered for free fall (with a second pair of arms instead of legs) wonders how 'downsiders' can have sex without bouncing apart, since they have no lower hands to grip their lovers with. Her downsider lover explains that gravity has its uses. She also points out that condoms sure beat chasing bodily fluids around the compartment with a hand-vac.

** At another point in the series, Miles acquires a zero-g "bed," and decides to give it a whirl, musing on the rumors of the fantastic nature of sex in zero-g. He crawls out a few minutes later after deciding that the bed smells like "at least three" people had recently been investigating those same rumors.

* Eric Idle in ''The Road To Mars'' described it as "like having sex ''inside'' a water bed."

* In contrast to ''QI'', the novel ''Red Lightning'' has a scene discussing the ''advantages'' of sex in zero gravity.

* In [[Stephen Baxter]]'s ''[[Manifold Time]]'', it's mentioned that one spaceflight saw frequent zero-g orgies because the astronauts had no better way to pass their time.

* In [[Peter F. Hamilton]]'s ''[[The Night's Dawn Trilogy]]'', the Lady Macbeth has a fold-out zero-g sex cage. It's probably not a unique piece of equipment.

* Mentioned in ''[[Naked Lunch]]''.

* In the sci-fi book ''Fallen Angels'', one of the spacemen (who have lived most of their lives in orbit, and so have severe issues with living in gravity again) wonders how people make love in G. His observation? "They probably don't need Velcro."
