How do astronauts solve their six-month sex problem?

The six-month sex problem of astronauts can be completely solved through willpower restraint and psychological adjustment. After all, astronauts undergo rigorous training and six months is not a very long time.

Recently, NAS (National Science Association) submitted a report recommending that NASA study the sexual life of astronauts in space. This matter is related to the "life and death" of the trip to Mars. NAS Chairman Pelinkas introduced: In 2000, RKA (Russian Space Agency) conducted an eight-month ground simulation training on the International Space Station.

Unable to bear the heavy mental pressure, the two astronauts fought with each other. Another male astronaut forced a kiss from his colleague, a female astronaut, due to sexual impulses. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, RKA immediately ordered that door locks and other protective devices be installed between the male and female astronauts’ capsules in the training base.

Therefore, Pelinkas pointed out: Experiments have proven that the presence of female astronauts can reduce the psychological stress of male astronauts. Moreover, sex life in space is actually not a scourge. Once properly resolved, it is possible to create a "stable or normal" interpersonal relationship, which will help the progress of space missions.

Based on this, Pelinkas suggested that NASA could send couples and husband-wife astronauts to perform space missions together to facilitate the normal physiological needs of the astronauts. Or by sending all astronauts over 50 years old, this problem may be perfectly solved.

Simon Dube, a psychologist at Concordia University, said in an interview with the "Washington Post": "So far, there is no research on the development of intimate relationships in space. There is no research on the development of intimate relationships in space. Research on human sexual function and health experience in space. Therefore, the impact of long-term space life on crew members is unknown.”

But the author checked the information and found: In May 2007, French science writer Pi. El Kohler was interviewed by the British "Guardian" and published relevant articles. He said: NASA and RKA (Russian Space Agency) have completed experiments on humans having sex in space! Once the article was published, it immediately aroused widespread response.

Pierre Kohler pointed out: In 1996, NASA conducted a space experiment mission code-named "STS-75". The content of the mission is: testing sexual behavior in space. Interestingly, the reporter looked up the mission numbered "STS-75" from NASA's official website and found that it does exist! However, according to the list, the astronauts participating in the experiment are all men. In 2001, NASA sent an astronaut couple to space to conduct related experiments, but the results were not optimistic.

Three months later, the two people returned to the ground and were told that state secrets must be strictly kept, and this special experiment was sealed. In August 2006, because President Bush began to talk about the Mars immigration plan, the Space Agency only revealed the tip of the iceberg on this matter.

In 2020, Lawrence Barincas, professor of anthropology at the University of California, said in an interview: If humans plan to establish bases on other planets, then the issue of astronauts’ space sex life will be a matter of life and death! He emphasized: Astronauts are undoubtedly very professional! However, sex is one of the most basic biological instincts, just like hunger and thirst.

For long-term missions, research shows that a mix of men and women is the best mix. The duration of a mission is approximately 3-5 years. It makes no sense to say that after spending 3-5 years together in a closed environment, the astronauts had no thoughts about sex or any deviant behavior. Therefore, NASA and other space agencies should face up to this problem!

But after avoiding the topic for many years, NASA is now more open to it. An official representative of NASA said: Our main concern is ensuring the long-term health and safety of astronauts in space. If more in-depth research on reproductive health in space is needed in the future, NASA will take appropriate steps to assist with training!

Currently, scientists say that a new discipline called "space sexology" needs to be introduced. Dube and other experts published a study last year saying "we need to learn how to safely reproduce and establish enjoyable intimate lives in space"! Maybe, in the near future, space babies will be born.
