Line 17:
As of early 2012, this has not been attempted in any actual spacecraft, despite the attempt of a porn studio to hire Spaceship One for the purpose. Virgin Galactic declined the offer, nominally on the grounds that accepting would make their company name exceedingly silly.

{{examples}}
Line 30 ⟶ 32:
* Appears in the ''MILFS on Mars'' pin-up collection from Eros Comix.
* Starfire and Captain Comet indulge in ''[[REBELS]]'' #18.
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* Happens in ''[[Ethereum Gladiator]]'', given there's no gravity outside the Nethercity's ecodomes.
* A decidedly not worksafe, but [[Better Than It Sounds|surprisingly well-written]] [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]] fanfic, "Nothing Like The Sun". Notable for being one of the few DS9 fics to center around the marriage of Miles and Keiko O'Brien.
== Film ==
Line 48:
* 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 (film)|Sunshine]]'' had a planned sex scene between Cassie and Capa.
== Literature ==
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
* In contrast to ''QI'', the novel ''Red Lightning'' has a scene discussing the ''advantages'' of sex in zero gravity.
* The ''[[BattleTech]]'' novel "The Price Of Glory" finished with the afterglow of such a scene, with the couple in question "turning gently".
* [[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
* In the [[Alan Dean Foster]] novelisation of ''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]'', Parker tells Brett about an inexperienced visitor to a zero-G brothel who started spinning during the 'act', and then started throwing up. In zero-G.
* 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.
Line 79 ⟶ 78:
* ''[[Dread Empires Fall]]'' has "recreation tubes" for the inhabitants of their starships. They work for ''up to two'' occupants and presumably have versions for all of the species that could be crewing their ships.
▲== Live Action TV ==
* 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?
* ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' references it while making fun of regulation numbers: "No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity". And again: "Hey, Pop-up Kama Sutra! Zero-gravity version, that's mine!".
* 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.
Line 96 ⟶ 94:
* In ''Grlz-R-Us'', a comic strip that ran in the skin mag ''Barely Legal'', the girls (and their frat boy partners) fantasize/hallucinate that they are having sex in outer space after drinking [[Wacky Fratboy Hijinx|spiked punch at a fraternity party]]. The strip was later included in the collection ''The Erotic Art of Reed Waller''.
* The ''[[National Lampoon]]'' had a pictorial zero-gravity sex guide, the NASA Sutra.
== Music ==
* 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.
* [[Mastodon]] performs a song about [[Intercourse with You]] in space. The title? ''Stargasm.''
== Tabletop Games ==
Line 110 ⟶ 106:
* There was a (PG rated) zero-G romance scene in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''.
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', when the heroes go into outer space because the Tower of Salvation goes extremely high up, an optional cutscene has (who else?) Zelos going on about this, and (who else?) Lloyd completely missing the point (Zelos didn't actually mention sex, which is probably why Lloyd didn't get it; Also because he's an idiot).
== Web Comics ==
Line 119 ⟶ 114:
* ''[[Unity]]'': Sam and Juni, sitting in an observation pod...
* ''[[Questionable Content]]'' had it discussed in [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2152 this] strip: apparently the main problems of "zero-G hanky-panky" are constant collisions as you tumble and pinball around the cabin... and (mood-)killer robots.
== Web Original ==
* Used a lot (not all the time due to artificial gravity) during space travel in ''[[The Journal Entries]]''.
* Shot down in the ''[[Cracked.com]]'' article [http://www.cracked.com/article_18547_6-reasons-space-travel-will-always-suck.html 6 Reasons Space Travel Will Always Suck]. Sex in microgravity will fail for at leats two reasons: a man needs gravity to make enough blood pressure for an erection, and embryos need gravity to develop properly.
