== Comic Books ==
* In the ''[[XXXenophile]]'' story "Watch This Space," the characters figure that it'll be about twelve hours before their escape bubble is picked up, and they decide to occupy the time with a marathon session of zero-g lesbian lovemaking. One of them comments that in freefall she prefers to do it with another woman because there's less thrusting and bouncing than there is with a man.

* Happens to Cherry Poptart multiple times in the story "Space Cookie" in ''[[Cherry Comics]]''.
* Referenced in ''[[Astro City]]: Astra Special'' #2. Astra's boyfriend tries to persuade her to indulge, leading to this exchange:
{{quote| '''Matt:''' But hey - If they can do localized anti-gravity... I don't know, maybe these guys don't care, living in a cosmic place like this. But I'm from Earth, I'm a guy. Seems to me no-gravity would be pretty interesting for, y'know...<br />
'''Astra:''' Sex? They live on planets here, Matt. They do have gravity. Trust me, you're not the first to think of it. They actually have rooms for that, up near the top, where the effect is the strongest. But it's messy, it's awkward, you smack into the walls a lot, and then you have to clean up and it's kinda gross. }}

* ''[[Dracula 2000]]''. Although this used vampiric levitation instead of zero g space.
* Also done in ''[[Underworld Rise of the Lycans]]'', where a vampire and a lycan have gravity-defying sex while hanging off the edge of a cliff.
Line 44:
* The comedy ''Moving Violations'' suggests the main characters, played by actors John Murray and [[Jennifer Tilly]], have an intimate encounter in a weightlessness simulator.
* Private Media Group filmed a brief scene for the space-themed pornographic film ''[[Just for Pun|The Uranus Experiment]]'' in a Russian aircraft flying a parabolic track (similar to NASA's Vomit Comet). ''The Uranus Experiment'' features around 20 seconds of actors Sylvia Saint and Nick Lang (who portray astronauts living on a space station) having sex in freefall. The scene was controversially nominated for a Nebula Award (as a protest against the Nebula Awards' Best Screenplay category), but did not win.
* Aki and Gray in ''[[Final Fantasy:
* In ''[[Thank You for Smoking]]'', there are plans to incorporate this trope into a movie. Along with cigarettes, of course.
* In ''[[Cube]] 2: Hypercube'', two characters, feeling that their deaths are inevitable, have sex in the center of one of the cube rooms that has zero gravity (and possibly accelerated time) until they apparently die of dehydration and eventually desiccate. One of the other characters, moving through cubes with different time flows, comes across their mummified corpses still entwined and spinning in the middle of the room.
* [[Word of God]] states that original scripts for ''[[Sunshine (

* Science fiction and popular science writer [[Isaac Asimov]] made conjectures in writing about what sex would be like in the weightless environment of space, in 1973 in ''Sex in a Spaceship''. He anticipated some of the benefits of engaging in sex in an environment of microgravity. He also mentions 1/6-gee sex in the final chapter of ''The Gods Themselves'', which takes place on the moon.
* In Ben Bova's novel ''Kinsman'' the astronaut characters consider founding the Zero Gee Club; like the Mile High Club, but higher.
Line 62:
* 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.
* The ''[[
* [[Spider Robinson]] goes into heaps of detail in his ''[[Stardancer]]'' trilogy, including pointing out that a couple making love ''unrestrained'' in zero gravity will inevitably end up bumping gently against the air vent -- and any foolish enough to try to avert this by turning off the ventilation will suffocate in their own exhalations.
* In the [[Alan Dean Foster]] novelisation of ''[[Alien (
* Newt Gingrich's books talk about the possibilities of having your wedding night in space. [[Al Franken]], in ''[[Rush Limbaugh]] is a Big Fat Idiot'', made fun of this, pointing out that it would probably be quite awkward in reality.
* Something similar involving buoyancy instead of gravity occurs in Alida Van Gores '' Mermaid's Song'': [[Our Mermaids Are Different|mermaid]] sex requires either a heavily padded cave or lots of searoom given the unavoidable propulsive effects of the undulations involved.
* In one of ''[[The Witcher]]'' novels Geralt reminisces some [http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Yennefer Yennefer]'s "experiments", including use of a levitation spell on them both.
* [[Vernor Vinge]] mentions the problem of obtaining leverage during zero-g sex in ''[[
* In ''[[The Sparrow]]'' by Mary Doria Russell, Anne and George have one suggestion: duck tape.
* The [[Red Mars Trilogy]] mentions that this happens frequently on the initial voyage to Mars. One of the Russian characters also apparent experimented with many forms of zero-G sex while on ''Novy Mir''.
* In ''[[Known Space]]'', zero-g sex is far from uncommon, due to zero-g "sleep fields" which work anywhere. At least one character thinks the sleep field is the greatest invention since sliced bread... But prefers to sleep on a traditional mattress.
* In [[Stephen Baxter]]'s ''[[

* Inevitable on Gemworld in the ''[[Star Trek Gemworld]]'' duology.
* Mentioned in ''[[Naked Lunch]]''.

* This subject came up on ''[[QI]]''. Fry pointed out three drawbacks to this: your you-know-what will be smaller, you have problems maintaining contact and there's the danger of stuff drifting around the cabin and getting into things. Not that this deterred Bill Bailey and Alan Davies from vividly describing the possibilities of space porn in front of an embarrassed Stephen Fry.
* This came up on a particularly good game of ''Press Conference'' on the British version of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?
* ''[[
* The idea was floated (if you'll pardon the pun) in ''Salvage'', the pilot for the TV series ''[[Salvage 1]]''. However, being a PG sort of show, nothing comes of it.
* The ''[[Red Shoe Diaries]]'' episode "Weightless".
* ''[[Defying Gravity]]'': Done with the Cranes in the pilot.
* This topic was the focus of the [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/vp/38008691 final story] on the night of June 29, 2010's ''[[Countdown
* Dave's sexual fantasy on ''[[News Radio]]'' is making love on the Space Shuttle...with a space prostitute.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' [[Musical Episode|"Once More With Feeling"]]. At the end of Tara's love song "Under Your Spell" she [[Love Floats|levitates into the air over her bed]], and it's strongly implied she's doing it so an off-camera Willow can perform cunnilingus on her.
* Steven Spielberg's ''[[Taken (TV series)|Taken]]'' miniseries did this with the mating of the two [[Half Human Hybrids]] who produced Allie.
* Not quite genuine Zero-G, but a couple on ''[[CSI New York]]'' got busted for public indecency because they were having sex while bungie-jumping. It's strongly implied that this is the female jumper's personal favorite kink.

* There are a few [[Filk Song]] treatments of the subject, perhaps the best-known example being [http://www.ovff.org/pegasus/songs/docking-maneuvers.html "A Reconsideration Of Anatomical Docking Maneuvers In A Zero-Gravity Environment"] by Diana G. Gallagher. She makes a good point and gives another good reason (in addition to the existing ones) for restraints.
