Holiday Extra: A City on Mars
Savage Lovecast
Exploring Sex and Procreation in Space
The hosts delve into the challenges and considerations of living and reproducing in space, discussing the lack of mention of recreational sex in a book by the interviewees, the historical context of space exploration, and societal attitudes towards sex in space. They explore the concept of an all-male international space station and the idea of situational homosexuality, as well as proposals to send a rubber woman and a porn collection to a Soviet space station. The hosts also discuss the book 'A City on Mars' which presents a sobering perspective on space colonization, and highlight the lack of consideration given to the challenges of sex and procreation in space, including ventilation issues, carbon monoxide buildup, and the difficulties of sex, gestation, and childbirth in a weightless environment.
