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.

NASA scientists says-

Shouldn't it be "NASA scientist says-" or "NASA scientists say-"

I'm dyslexic and not native English speaker so I'm not sure. But it sounds weird when I say it in my head.

Than about the other thing: the subject. Doctors say it's necessary to ejaculated at least once a week to lower the chance of prostate cancer. Also, not doing anything about being horny is fucked up. I'm wearing a catheter for 4 weeks (one and half weeks to go) and it sucks so bad. Every woman I see makes me horny now, whenever I see something sexy like a bikini in a commercial or 2 people kissing during a show, I get a woodie, which hurts because I had surgery on my eurethra. Every night, the entire night, I have a woodie. I know, because the pain it causes keeps me awake. The longer the horniness is cropped up, the worse it gets. I know astronauts didn't have surgery down there, but not jurking off makes many men bombs of cropped up horniness. It can also affect concentration and performance of tasks. Men need their relief. As do women.

So, NASA scientists, why don't you invent a seed killing, particle capturing jerkoff sock for astronauts. It sounds stupid but it's oh so important.

Edit: about the Grammer, I was right.

Also, what a slop website.

I wanna see the cumball formed by ejaculating in 0 gravity.

What the hell is wrong with their website? Even when enabling Java Script and Disabelung ad/tracking blockers it still won't load

[-] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 hours ago

Wrong attribution to NASA aside, I think all adults know that there is much more surface tension than water in errr...the rope. Thanks Raiderkev for that awesome rundown in the comments.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 25 points 12 hours ago

Wasn't that a joke from some comedian?

I know this is science memes, but this is just straight up bullshit repackaged with a clickbait title

[-] Domoarigatomrrobato@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

It is, it was a bit in one episode of Conan's podcast, they even mentioned in another episode that some website reported it as true.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 125 points 17 hours ago

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 82 points 17 hours ago

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

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 8 points 7 hours ago

The chances of a solar particle hitting your RAM and causing a bit to flip are tremendously unlikely as well, but there's hardware made to prevent that from happening (I realize ECC does more than that).

[-] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 63 points 17 hours ago

I propose funding for an aerospace cock sock that could keep everyone safe from stray nut.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 12 hours ago

All of the greatest inventions which revolutionized key aspects of our daily lives have begun in aerospace engineering.

Pens that write upside down. Ice cream that doesn't melt. Cock socks that don't leak and are easy to clean.

This is why we fund NASA!

“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 100 points 16 hours ago

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.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 9 hours ago

Semen from various astropervs just floating around in the capsule sticking to peoples' faces, getting in their hair, etc.

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 46 points 16 hours ago

Also lady bits work like a vaccum, just sucking up all the stray dirt and food crumbs as well. Its why women are so good at staying at home.and vaccuuming, its literally natural.

👵 i made your internet. This bit is much older, 2006, it's got many variants that came after. Looks like gregnant was 2016.

well the article is from the future so we have to take their word for it

Damn, that's already after the butlerian jihad

[-] kinkles@sh.itjust.works 106 points 17 hours ago

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

[-] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 82 points 17 hours ago

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

[-] JayDee@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Thought you couldn't get it up in zero G - and even If you could, we don't actually know if the mechanisms needed to ejaculate would function in zero G.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Getting hard is a matter of hydraulic pressure; don't need gravity for your heart to pump blood. And ejaculation is a mechanical action, like swallowing.

This article is bullshit taken from a comedian's joke.

[-] jmill@lemmy.zip 15 points 8 hours ago

As far as I know, everything would work fine. If it's something you can do right-side-up, up-side-down, or prone, and in each orientation it works exactly the same way, it should work in zero G. It's just hydraulics anyway. Not gravity dependant.

[-] cobwoms@lemmy.blahaj.zone 60 points 17 hours ago

if you nut in space will it push you backwards

[-] idriss@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

nutting thrust is nothing compared to the poop fart

[-] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 30 points 17 hours ago

And since penises are usually not that close to the body's centre of mass it would also impart some rotation, unless the astrowanker has very good aim.

I'm going to make a bet that most female astronauts are going to take hormones to stop menstruation. Which will also stop ovulation.

I mean there are other reasons why this suggested is invalid . See other comments.

But I'm also pointing out this one.

[-] notabot@piefed.social 26 points 16 hours ago

Oh cum on, it's going to be really hard to handle that. Mind you, I'd be more concerned about the stray 'liquid' getting into machinery and shorting something, rather than accidentally impregnating three women at a time.

Fortunately we don't have to worry about this yet as "This article was originally published on 23 July 20222".

[-] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 23 points 16 hours ago

That reads as "male astronauts should not mastrubate in space". So it's absolutely fine for a female astronaut to rub one out. It's not like she's going to be ejecting eggs all over the place. Think of THAT OnlyFans.

[-] ElectricAirship@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 14 hours ago

The female astronauts shouldn't have dressed that way /s

[-] deranger@sh.itjust.works 22 points 17 hours ago

Female astronauts could accidentally get impregnated by stray fluids.
