Virgin turns down sex in space

Close encounters of the lurid kind
Friday, 3 October 2008, 10:54

VIRGIN GALACTIC, the Space tourism organ of Richard Branson's empire, has refused to whore itself out by turning down a million dollar offer to allow a porn film to be made in space.

Virgin Galactic, whose commercial White Knight Two plane is set to start shooting off into space late next year from New Mexico, apparently turned down a million dollars "up front" to let man boldly come where no man has come before. "That was money we had to refuse, I'm afraid", prudishly noted Virgin Galactic president Will Whitehorn at an International Astronautical Congress.

The million dollar indecent proposal was actually fairly generous considering VG says it plans to extort $200,000 a person for a disappointingly short two-hour flight including around only five minutes of weightlessness.

But VG is obviously not hard up for the cash, with 280 punters having already deposited $40 million in anticipation (money shot or what?).

Some important questions remain, however, about whether sex in a gravity-free environment would even be possible, with some studies claiming it would not, as blood flow to the lower extremities is exceptionally weak during weightlessness. Not helpful when trying to hit that zero g-spot.

So it seems that porn fans will just have to satisfy themselves with weight(less) dreams for the time being, until Deep Throat Space Sixty Nine or 2010: a Space Orgy become a reality sometime in the future. µ

Free float

Considering the innovative positions some people invent to have sex, including upside down, I don't think that blood flow will be a problem.

On the other hand, fluids tend to free-float in zero-gravity. Good luck keeping the camera lens clear from sweat and... other substances.

Pop this cherry!

I see nothing wrong with it... it is one of those who cares... why not. The issue I see is that you would need to be turned on before they fire that 90 second burn at something like 5Gs and hold that until you hit weightlessness and then finish before your five minutes are up. I think that would just be too much pressure to have a chance of working.

Besides NASA has been sending up man and woman teams for something like 20 years, so I have a feeling there are zero-G pornos out there already... maybe they need to offer NASA $1,000,000 instead to get them to release the videos. :-P

The XXX Prize

Apparently the XXX Prize is offering $10 million for the first adult film shot in space.

So paying Virgin $1 million and pocketing the other $9 million sounds like a sound business proposal...

What God says:

BLASPHYME!! What has Mankind become?! Does the wrong doing of Adam and Eve couse through our veins (when it was only ment to be their blood)?! Space is God's realm and such an act will be Diabolical, Devilish, Inhumane, Unnatural, Non-Kosher, Un-Biblical and a breaking of the COVANANT!

1. Thou Shan't Commit Adultery(Especially in space)

2. Thou Shan't Steal (By copying and redistributing Porn movies)

3. Thou Shan't Look At What Is Not Thees' (Then, Ye Will Be No Different Than The Jews Of Old? Having Sexual Intercourse Whileth Thy Wife Is Pregnant?)

5 Minutes?

Five minutes of weightlessness for sex in space? What are they going to do with the remaining 3 minutes?
