17-->-- '''Website/{{SFDebris}} review of ''Film/{{Moontrap}}'''''

19Space. The final frontier. And a completely new environment for indulging in humanity's favorite pastime: sex!
20
21Many writers have turned their imagination to the subject of what sex would be like in zero gravity. The general consensus seems to be that it would be like a TwoPersonPoolParty without the water (examples involving ''more'' than two people are hard to come by, as no one enjoys dealing with the [[{{Pun}} three-body problem]]).
22
23Unfortunately, a bit of [[ArtisticLicenceSpace Artistic Licence]] is at play here. In zero gravity, the blood in your body pools higher up, and your heart shrinks as it gets used to doing less work, both of which are obviously bad for trying to maintain arousal. Zero gravity heavily reduces both the friction and resistance in the environment, subsequently removing most of the actual physical feedback people expect and are familiar with from sexual activity on Earth. The microgravity environment would also mean that the couple would be a slave to Newtonian physics, meaning that any movement is going to cause both partners to drift, then careen wildly around their spaceship, resulting in multiple possible injuries. All of these issues still apply to lesser extents in low gravity environments such as the surface of Mars or the Moon, so until we figure out ArtificialGravity this trope will likely remain a fantastical one.
24
25As of early 2016, this is not known to have been attempted in any actual spacecraft, despite the attempt of a porn studio in 2010 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 (though it was more likely to avoid having their company be associated with pornography). In June 2015, a porn website [[http://www.businessinsider.com/pornhub-is-making-a-sex-tape-in-space-2015-6 launched a $3.4 million Indiegogo campaign to fund a video of sex in space;]] exact plans were unclear, although they did claim to be "in talks" with launch companies before the funding campaign failed. There was one married couple that did fly together on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-47 STS-47:]] N. Jan Davis and Mark C. Lee, who had met and then married secretly during training, and told NASA so soon before the flight that there wasn't time to send a replacement. However, if they attempted this trope--which is itself highly doubtful--they aren't talking about it, and neither is anyone else. The closest anyone's actually come was a twenty second shot for a porn film that was done by the same means of simulating microgravity as the infamous "Vomit Comet" plane ride: fly to 11,000 feet and engage in a brief, steep dive. (No word on what this actually cost the production company.)

34[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
35* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'': [[spoiler:Mikazuki and Atra]] make love inside [[AutoErotica the cockpit]] of [[spoiler:Gundam Barbatos]]. At the time, they were on a ship in deep space, in a hangar where the ship's ArtificialGravity was either very low or off entirely.
36* In ''Manga/UQHolder'', [[spoiler:Touta and Karin]] have sex in the vacuum of space (they're immortal, so it won't hurt them) after the former recovers the latter from a very, very lengthy trip through the vast emptiness of space.

40* Referenced in ''ComicBook/AstroCity: Astra Special'' #2. The planet Reklak-4 is part of a nexus of multiple realities that is used as a galactic cultural hub and entertainment center. Some people like to use the recreational low-gravity zones for carnal experiments. Astra Furst's boyfriend tries to persuade her to indulge, leading to this exchange:
41-->'''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...\
42'''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... [[BlatantLies Or, uh, that's what friends have told me, anyway.]]
43* ''ComicBook/BlackMoonChronicles'': A variation where Wismerhill is carried by his WingedHumanoid lover Hellaynnea the succubus to have sex in the clouds.
44* Buffy and [[spoiler:Series/{{Angel}}]] do the "flying without a plane" version when Buffy develops (more) superpowers during the "Twilight" arc of the ''ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' 'Season 8' comics.
45* In ''ComicBook/LoriLovecraft: Repression'', Lori and Arthur Black Crow have sex while magically levitating. When Lori attempts to take control of the spell from Arthur, she loses control and the pair of them crash back on to the bed from the ceiling.
46* Several pin-ups in the collection ''[=MILFs=] From Mars'' from Eros Comix feature the eponymous [=MILFs=] engaging in hot girl-on-girl action in zero g.
47* Starfire and Captain Comet indulge in ''ComicBook/{{REBELS}}'' #18.
48* Happens to Franchise/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/LoisLane [[https://40.media.tumblr.com/519d6f39c7c1007e85805946f05108eb/tumblr_n8hyk0tRwN1sr9pgto1_540.jpg often.]]
49* ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan'' mentions this in an early issue of the series. Later, it becomes a major plot point.

53%% Please do not wick the following work as its page was removed for violating The Content Policy, thank you.
54* Happens in Ethereum Gladiator, given there's no gravity outside the Nethercity's ecodomes.
55* ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'': Satan Girl is a Kryptonian clone and Mordru a powerful sorcerer, so a lack of atmosphere is no trouble whatsoever. Hence Satan Girl takes Mordru out of the planet in the fifth chapter and demands to be taken right there and then.
56* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': In this crossover Shinji is ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' and Asuka ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' (in the rewrite). In the epilogue they make love floating between Earth and the Moon. Given their bodies were modified with Kryptonian DNA with all it implies (flight, invulnerability, capability to hold your breath virtually indefinitely...) they had no trouble pulling it off.
57* A ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' fic by Talya Firedancer has Heero and Duo having sex in a spaceship. Lampshaded [[DeadpanSnarker rather snarkily]] by Duo when he sings a parody of ''Fly me to the moon'' after the deed is done.
58* A decidedly not worksafe, but surprisingly well-written [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine 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=].
59* In ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'', [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol Danvers]] and [[ComicBook/XMen Gladiator]] have sex in a Shi'ar starship.
60* In ''Fanfic/TotalCommand'', [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Izuku and Ochako]] tale advantage of the latter's [[GravityMaster Zero Gravity]] Quirk to have this in his dorm room.
61[[/folder]]
62
63[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
64* In ''Film/Cube2Hypercube'', 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.
65* A variation in ''Film/Dracula2000'' which used vampiric levitation. Lucy winds up turned when she is seduced by Dracula and they have sex which winds up going off the bed to the ceiling, due to Dracula's flying powers. [[VampiresAreSexGods She's so mesmerized]] that she doesn't notice Drac spouting fangs until he bites her.
66%%* Aki and Gray in ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin''.
67* A variation in ''Anime/HarlockSpacePirate'' which has Kei Yuki taking a zero-G shower.
68* Film/JamesBond and [[PunnyName Holly Goodhead]] [[DoubleEntendre attempt reentry]] in ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'', making Bond both a member of the MileHighClub and the 100 Mile High Club.
69-->'''Goodhead:''' James, take me around the world one more time!
70** Also in the novelization, Bond and Goodhead witness a couple on Drax's space station doing this.
71* The comedy ''Film/MovingViolations'' suggests the main characters, played by actors John Murray and Creator/JenniferTilly, have an intimate encounter in a weightlessness simulator.
72* ''Film/{{RoboCop|2014}}'' (2014): The news ticker on ''The Novak Element'' at one point mentions that the President has approved astronauts bringing hookers into space.
73* WordOfGod states that original scripts for ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'' had a planned sex scene between Cassie and Capa.
74* The sci-fi horror film ''Film/{{Supernova}}'' (2000) featured sex between several of the characters in zero-gravity areas of the Medical Ship.
75* In ''Film/ThankYouForSmoking'', there are plans to incorporate this trope into a movie. Along with cigarettes, of course.
76* Another vampire version in ''Film/UnderworldRiseOfTheLycans'', where a vampire and a lycan have gravity-defying sex while hanging off the edge of a cliff.
77* Private Media Group filmed a brief scene for the space-themed pornographic film ''[[PunBasedTitle 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.
78* Happens between Adam and Eden in ''Film/UpsideDown''.
79[[/folder]]

81[[folder:Literature]]
82* In the Creator/AlanDeanFoster {{novelization}} of ''Film/{{Alien}}'', Parker tells Brett about an inexperienced visitor to a zero-G brothel who started spinning during the "act", and then started throwing up...also in zero-G.
83* ''Literature/ArrivalsFromTheDark'': In ''The Faraway Saikat'', Ivar's bed aboard the Saikat station is little more than an anti-gravity platform he floats above when sleeping. Not sure how comfortable that would be. Also not sure how the bed keeps him from drifting out of the field and crashing to the floor. Ivar also uses it to sleep with a [[HumanAlien Kni'lina]] female.
84* In ''Literature/Artemis'', Jazz notes that the Moon is a popular destination for elderly couples looking to add novelty to their sex lives.
85* Science fiction and popular science writer Creator/IsaacAsimov 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.
86** In his short story ''Literature/ImInMarsportWithoutHilda'', Flora keeps her apartment at 0.4 of Earth's gravity because it makes [[ParentalBonus hugging]] better. As [[CharacterNarrator Max puts it]]:
87--->[I]f you've ever held a girl in your arms at 0.4 gees, you need no explanation. If you haven't, explanations will do no good. I'm also sorry for you.
88* The ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' novel ''The Price of Glory'' ends with the afterglow of such a scene, with the couple in question "turning gently".
89* Attempted and failed in ''Constellation Games'' by Leonard Richardson.
90-->"Man! Those suggestive docking sequences in sci-fi movies make it look so easy. Don't they teach you how to do this in astronaut training?"\
91"No, they just tell you not to do it."\
92"That's what they told us, in high school, but nobody listened."
93* ''Literature/DreadEmpiresFall'' 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.
94* 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."
95* ''Literature/GalacticMarines'': In ''Semper Mars'', Dr. David Alexander does this with his French observer during the long voyage between Earth and Mars. Finding room to do this in the cramped cycler is difficult but not impossible. They end up using harnesses to keep themselves from drifting away from each other during vigorous thrusts. There's also plenty of cleanup afterwards, trying to chase down all the fluid droplets before they get into some critical system. Apparently, there is also a space version of the MileHighClub called the Three Dolphin Club. In ''Luna Marine'', Alexander explains to his new lover that, when dolphins have sex, there is a frequently a third dolphin helping "push", hence the name.
96* The ''Literature/GaeaTrilogy'' novel ''Titan'' provides this line: "Cirocco liked space, reading and sex, not necessarily in that order. She had never been able to satisfactorily combine all three, but two was not bad." In the second scene, she is not reading...
97* ''Literature/HiveMind2016'': Characters sleep in floating 'sleep fields', akin to Literature/KnownSpace. Amber and Lucas share one once they become a couple.
98* In Creator/ArthurCClarke's ''Imperial Earth'', travelers from Saturn to Earth have a few hours of zero-gee halfway along, while the ship is flipping over to decelerate.
99-->No wonder that the most popular item in the ship's library these last few days had been the ''UsefulNotes/{{NASA}} [[Literature/KamaSutra Sutra]]'', an old book and an old joke, [[DontExplainTheJoke explained so often that it was no longer funny.]]
100** Before that, there was a cruise that had some... kinks... that took some time to recover from. Among them:
101--->... and everyone had learned a great deal, though not necessarily in the areas that the organizers intended. The first few weeks, for example, were mostly occupied by experiments in zero-gravity sex, despite warnings that this was an expensive addiction for those compelled to spend most of their lives on planetary surfaces.
102* In one of the ''John Grimes'' novels by Creator/ABertramChandler, a female purser tells Grimes that she got her job after the last purser broke her leg because she failed to obey the Golden Rule of space travel--''Stop what you are doing and secure any loose objects when the acceleration warning sounds''--though the ship's doctor avoided injury by landing on top of her. Grimes is about to ask what the purser and the doctor were up to that they couldn't stop doing, [[TooMuchInformation then quickly shuts up]].
103* In Creator/BenBova's novel ''Kinsman'', the astronaut characters consider founding the Zero Gee Club; like the Mile High Club, but higher.
104-->''"Think of the possibilities."\
105"Hmm. Three-dimensional."''
106* ''Literature/KnownSpace'':
107** 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.
108** In a nod to the problems involved, one character in ''Literature/{{Ringworld}}'' specifically turns the sleepfield ''off'' because "we need gravity for this".
109** Creator/LarryNiven discusses the difficulties in low-gravity sex in ''The Patchwork Girl''.
110* In ''Literature/ManifoldTime'', it's mentioned that one spaceflight saw frequent zero-g orgies because the astronauts had no better way to pass their time.
111* Something similar involving buoyancy instead of gravity occurs in Alida Van Gore's '' Mermaid's Song'': [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaid]] sex requires either a heavily padded cave or lots of searoom given the unavoidable propulsive effects of the undulations involved.
112* Mentioned in ''Literature/NakedLunch''.
113* Newt Gingrich's books talk about the possibilities of having your wedding night in space. Creator/AlFranken, in ''Radio/RushLimbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot'', made fun of this, pointing out that it would probably be quite awkward in reality.
114* In ''Literature/TheNightsDawnTrilogy'', the Lady Macbeth has a fold-out zero-g sex cage. It's probably not a unique piece of equipment.
115* Mention is made of this happening in Travis S. Taylor's ''On to the Asteroid''... in a room on the spaceship that live-streamed video to Earth 24/7. The people talking about it mentioned that the audience for the unintended space porno would have enjoyed it more if the space tourists who pioneered zero-g sex had been sexy young actors rather than middle-aged out of shape businesspeople.
116* In ''Presumed Dead'' by Rick Kennett, a female soldier stranded on an alien planet is watching some [[InstructionalFilm boring holographic lectures]] on her computer to kill time. She activates one titled ''[[UnusualEuphemism Space Fittings]]'' only to find it's [[PornStash zero-G porn]].
117* In contrast to ''Series/{{QI}}'', the novel ''Literature/RedLightning'' by Creator/JohnVarley has a scene discussing the ''advantages'' of sex in zero gravity: "So the basic or 'missionary' position in free fall is for the girl to wrap her legs around the guy and lock her feet together, and for the guy to hold his legs out straight and try not to let his curling and uncurling toes shove the two of you all over the place." But Ray and Evangeline use "positions emphatically not for the beginner."
118* The ''Literature/RedMarsTrilogy'' 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''.
119* ''Literature/RendezvousWithRama'': An EatingTheEyeCandy version when Commander Norton mulls the effects of zero-gravity on female anatomy.
120-->Some women, Commander Norton had decided long ago, should not be allowed aboard ship; weightlessness did things to their breasts that were [[DistractedByTheSexy too damn distracting]]. It was bad enough when they were motionless; but when they started to move, and sympathetic vibrations set in, it was more than any warm-blooded male should be asked to take.
121* Eric Idle in ''Literature/TheRoadToMars'' describes it as "like having sex ''inside'' a water bed."
122* ''Literature/SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish'' describes Arthur and Fenchurch having TheirFirstTime while flying. It's not technically zero-g but the Hitchiker universe's [[GravityIsAHarshMistress method of flight]] makes it effectively the same thing.
123* In ''Literature/TheSparrow'', Anne and George have one suggestion: duck tape.
124* Creator/SpiderRobinson goes into heaps of detail in his ''Literature/{{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.
125* Inevitable on Gemworld in the ''Literature/StarTrekGemworld'' duology.
126* Characters do have sex in space aboard spacecraft and both deep space and orbital facilities in the ''Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse'' and ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends''. Normally this would be done under artificial gravity, however artificial gravity in the Star Wars universe is variable both directionally (outer decks on both Death Stars have gravity following the curve of its hull like on a planet or moon with inner decks all being oriented one way, Super Star Destroyer ''Lusankya'''s prison wings are upside down relative to the rest of the ship, and ''Millennium Falcon's'' gunwells have gravity at angles to the rest of the ship) and in field strength. This makes gravity manipulation to spice up one's sexual encounters a very real possibility. Not to mention that Force users [[PowerPerversionPotential can levitate both themselves and others]]...
127* ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'':
128** Inverted in ''Falling Free'' 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.
129** 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.
130* In one ''Franchise/TheWitcher'' novel, Geralt reminisces some Yennefer's "experiments", including use of a levitation spell on them both.
131* ''Literature/{{Worldwar}}'': This is justified in the ''Colonization'' books, since the ''Lewis and Clark'' is on a lifelong mission in the Asteroid Belt, and her crew is never coming home. Condoms are a must, though, since no one wants to experiment with trying to bear a child in zero-g. It helps that their jumpsuits are designed to "zip together". Even then, there is plenty of cleanup afterwards. When the guy is incredulous at the latter fact, the girl points out that there's ''always'' cleanup after sex even in gravity, it's just that guys normally don't bother. In the final ''Homeward Bound'' book, by the 2030s, humans have habitats in orbit of Earth and the Moon. Presumably, this trope is a regular occurrence there.
132* ''Literature/ZonesOfThought'': The problem of obtaining leverage during zero-g sex is mentioned in ''A Deepness in the Sky''. Also, one of the protagonists in ''A Fire Upon the Deep'' thinks that zero-g sex isn't what it's cracked up to be (again largely due to the difficulties of obtaining leverage safely).
133[[/folder]]
134
135[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
136* ''Series/TheBoys2019'': In "[[Recap/TheBoysS0205WeGottaGoNow We Gotta Go Now]]" Homelander and Stormfront are last seen while having sex in mid-air via his flying ability.
137* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
138** [[MusicalEpisode "Once More With Feeling"]]. At the end of Tara's love song "Under Your Spell" she [[LoveFloats 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.
139** Buffy and Angel during the "Twilight" arc in the Season 8 comics.
140*** This is, of course, in the issue "Them F#©%ing (Plus the True History of the Universe)".
141* ''Series/CarnivalRow'': Jonah engages in something similar with Tormaline, who's a Faerie-as the two have sex, she bats her wings to lift both of them off the bed. This experience seems to be a part of the appeal that Faerie prostitutes have, since they also fly down to be viewed by potential clients.
142* 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 ''Series/CountdownWithKeithOlbermann''. He struggled (without success) to keep a straight face. They showed clips of a History Channel documentary about the subject in which two speculative experts postulated that "One thing everyone does agree upon is that one or more of the mating partners needs to be restrained."
143* ''Series/CowboyBebop2021''. After experiencing her first orgasm, Faye Valentine is eagerly doing research on the subject of sex (though Spike Spiegel points out that the mens' magazine she's reading is not exactly an authoritative source). He leaves her reading up on the art of "pontooning in zero-gravity".
144* Not quite genuine Zero-G, but a couple on ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' 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.
145* ''Series/DefyingGravity'': Done with the Cranes in the pilot.
146* Also in the pilot of ''Series/TheExpanse'', Jim Holden is introduced having zero-G sex with the ship's navigator. However gravity returns when the ship starts its engines and [[MomentKiller they're both thrown to the floor]].
147* In ''Series/TheMagicians2016'' Kady and Penny have sex in mid air, though it's done by levitation here.
148* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'':
149** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E1InThroesOfIncreasingWonder In Throes of Increasing Wonder...]]": Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac have sex while the pair are floating vertically just above the ground.
150** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E6LikeAngelsPutInHellByGod Like Angels Put in Hell by God]]": There's a brief moment where Lestat and Louis levitate horizontally over their bed during lovemaking.
151* Dave's sexual fantasy on ''Series/NewsRadio'' is making love on the Space Shuttle...with a space prostitute.
152* Newlyweds on a space-tourism shuttle have sex in a storage cubicle on ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'''s "Joy Ride".
153* This subject came up on ''Series/{{QI}}''. Creator/StephenFry pointed out three drawbacks to this: your you-know-what will be smaller, you have problems maintaining contact and there's the danger of fluids drifting around the cabin and getting into equipment. Not that this deterred Bill Bailey and Alan Davies from vividly describing the possibilities of space porn in front of an embarrassed Stephen Fry.
154--> '''Bill''': [[PizzaBoySpecialDelivery I'm here to fix the turbo-thrusters]].\
155'''Alan''': Then you'd better come through to the sleeping module.
156%%* In ''Series/QueerAsFolkUS'', Justin has an AwkwardlyGayDream where he and Brian have zero-G sex.
157* ''Series/RedDwarf'' 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!".
158* The ''Series/RedShoeDiaries'' episode "Weightless". A beautiful astronaut, trapped in a dying spacecraft a million miles from home, makes tender love for the last time with her co-pilot as she ruminates about the sensual path of her life that led her to the adventure of outer space.
159* The idea was floated (if you'll pardon the pun) in ''Salvage'', the pilot for the TV series ''Series/{{Salvage 1}}''. However, being a PG sort of show, nothing comes of it.
160* In the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Melora," the titular character is an alien from a planet with very low gravity, and it is strongly implied that she and Dr. Bashir get it on in her quarters with the gravity turned off.
161* ''Series/{{Taken}}'': In "Charlie and Lisa", the title characters Charlie Keys and Lisa Clarke have sex in zero gravity aboard one of the alien ships.
162* Sloane on ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy2019'' can manipulate gravity, and uses this to have sex with Luther.
163* This came up on a particularly good game of ''Press Conference'' on the British version of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', in which Tony Slattery had to guess who he was - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZBNyAFllyo the first man to make love in space]] - by the questions Stephen Frost, Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles asked him. In case you even needed to be told, there were {{double entendre}}s galore.
164* Magician Creator/LanceBurton 's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjHiX_F9-v4 levitation]] in ''Lance Burton: The Legend Begins'' featuring him and his female assistant under the blanket. [[https://youtu.be/NKb08-aAgfc?t=638 An alternate version can be seen here, starting from 10:38.]]
165[[/folder]]
166
167[[folder:Music]]
168* There are a few FilkSong 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.
169* Arjen Anthony Lucassen's song "The Space Hotel" from the ''Music/LostInTheNewReal'' album mentions making love in zero G.
170* Music/{{Mastodon}} performs a song about IntercourseWithYou in space. The title? ''Stargasm.''
171[[/folder]]

173[[folder:Print Media]]
174* The ''Magazine/NationalLampoon'' had a pictorial zero-gravity sex guide, the NASA Sutra.

179-->'''Imca:''' ....Ummmmmm, why don't you retire in space. You can make a [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace movie out of it]]. "Pimps in Space".... "Bitches in Space".... Whatever you want to call it. [--Not that I would approve of those but negotiation....--]\

186* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}: Biotech'' mentions, for no apparent reason, that the modifications that would make someone especially useful as an engineer on a starship also open up all kinds of kinky possibilities.

190* A [[http://www.snopes.com/risque/tattled/shuttle.asp spoof document]] claims that NASA had conducted experiments on the feasibility of sexual activity in zero-gravity environment.

194* There was a (PG rated) zero-G romance scene in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''.
195* In ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' you can choose to have a one-night-stand with [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Peebee]] in the ''Tempest's'' escape pod with the artificial gravity turned off.
196* In ''VideoGame/TheSims4'', sims can woohoo with other sims in a rocket they have built, ascending into space on a cloud of hearts.
197* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', 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).

201* ''Webcomic/TwentyFirstCenturyFox'':
202** An anthropomorphic cow couple at least on their way to fulfilling this trope. Their activity was largely offstage.
203** Cecil, Barb, and Beth had their honeymoon in space for [[http://techfox.comicgenesis.com/d/20041006.html a reason]].
204** [[http://techfox.comicgenesis.com/d/20120227.html Later on,]] Jack and Jenny are getting in on the experience.
205* Discussed in [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2152 this]] ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' strip: apparently the problem of zero-G sex isn't just physics, but killer robots as well.
206* In ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'' a group of Core marines going into space are ordered not to try joining the [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20180201.html "million mile high club"]] as it would make a mess and probably get them hurt.
207* ''Webcomic/{{Unity}}'': Sam and Juni, sitting in an observation pod...

211* Shot down in the ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' 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.
212* Used a lot (not all the time due to artificial gravity) during space travel in ''Literature/TheJournalEntries''. And in keeping with the way the series is written, it is also mentioned that it can be quite awkward, particularly for those new to the process, and that it offers some unique possibilities. [[spoiler: (Ken doesn't normally like suspension bondage, but with microgravity available, he once puts a centaur in suspension bondage.]]
213* This [[http://web.archive.org/web/20041214143005/http://www.space.edu/LibraryResearch/sex.html essay]] by John Sturgeon deals with the RealLife limitations and possibilities of sex in space.
214* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_in_space Wikipedia]] also discuses this topic.

217[[folder:Western Animation]]
218* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Sterling Archer and [[spoiler:Pam, whom he had stowed away specifically for the purpose]] in "Space Race Part 1". Prior to this, Archer accuses the BigBad of trying to get his mother into the Million MileHighClub after seeing them flirt with each other.
219* Discussed in ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'' when Jay and Missy collaborate on a crossover SlashFic set in space, and Jay insists they include a zero-gravity sixty-nine scene.
220* Peter Griffin of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' once masturbated in space. He later said that the inside of the shuttle began to look like a snowglobe after a while.
221* ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' has a magazine called "Zero-G Juggs" that Scruffy is often seen reading that plays with the idea of this trope, even if only the name is shown. Use your imagination.
222* In ''WesternAnimation/InsideJob2021'' this is why JFK lead space exploration efforts. Since he had already experienced all forms of Earth-based sex, he wanted to see what sex in space was like, culminating in the moon landing. However, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, alongside the other astronauts landing on the moon, ran off to start a free-love sex cult, requiring the moon landing to be faked to save face.
223--> '''JFK''': We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because I am hard.
