Love seeing mbmbam references in the wild

Lol. Chances for accidentally short circuit something with stray fluid are much much higher than creating a new human this way.

it's highly unlikely, fluids stick together and make drops in the air which you can easily see and avoid. and also, come on, women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm floating through the air is even less likely that women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm swimming in the water of the public swimming pool ...

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good point, don't wank in the swimming pool either.

[–] NightShot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about wanking in the hand lotion at least ?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Well I guess that's fine. It's a long time since I was at school but I don't think hands can get pregananant.

There's a research grant to be had here.

The point of thrust is offset so you'd spin around uncontrollably.

false article, but fun fact!

astronauts on Mir got porn sendt up, as well as having a small supply of alcohol for special occasions.

aaand nobody got pregnant.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm not looking to have a baby, but I gotta admit that if I were an astronaut and the one-in-a-million chance of getting impregnated by floating sperm happened, that'd be incredible. I'd have the first baby conceived in space! What a cool story to have in a family's lore.

Of course, that's provided it survives the rest of the trip.

You are a bold one.

And the daddy is an astronaut too! Not bad.

It's a valid emergency propulsion method and I'm sick of being told it's not.

One day I'm gonna save a space station, that will show them.

there should absolutely be a shitty trash movie about this.

People venturing outside of our atmosphere are advised against pleasuring themselves in zero gravity.

The reason? Female astronauts could accidentally get impregnated by stray fluids.

Seems all they have to do is invent some kind of nutsack.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 111 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Is it just me or does this seem tremendously unlikely and easy to prevent?

This website is complete junk.

[–] kinkles@sh.itjust.works 137 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think the bigger problem is the female astronauts slonking around the cabin crotch-first

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 111 points 3 days ago

Female astronaut: Here I go clam slammin in the cabin.

Am I missing a joke or something? "Stray fluids" aren't just forcing their way into people's vaginas.

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 116 points 3 days ago (4 children)

“Three female astronauts can be impregnated by the same man on the same session… it finds its way,” Smyth replied.

Not buying it at all... I'm not saying it's impossible but the odds must be astronomical (no pun intended) just for one pregnancy... not even in a million years. Life finds a way, I know, but come on!

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 131 points 3 days ago (18 children)

No, it's true. Female astronauts usually float around up there with their twats out; spread wide open to air it out, and nearly every time a male astronaut blasts some rope, it floats straight to it obviously.

Jack off with a condom. Problem solved. That or make a designated jack off Suit that keeps all your fluids on one spot. A full body condom if you will. I know some here are born with one, but it wouldn't hurt to have an extra layer.
