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.

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

I mean, do female astronauts/cosmonauts regularly float naked in the space station?

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).

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

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days 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!

These guys never heard of a "posh-wank?"

Edit: a posh wank is when you jerk it wearing a condom. Its also helpful if ur guy that doesnt like "the feel of condoms"

I never beat my meat at Oxford. What’s a posh-wank?

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

A wank whilst wearing a condom

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Jacking it with a condom on

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago

With a condom is what I have heard. Expensive hence posh I guess!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 16 points 3 days ago (4 children)

That's when you eat your cum so you don't have to clean up right?

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's a normal wank...er...right? Right?

Thats just normal recycling

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait why would I jack a coat if I already have a condom on?

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 2 points 1 day ago

You're fine. Just wrong direction.

[–] dangercake@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

Yeah but you have a side salad with it

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago

I could Google it but I’d rather hear it from you since, no, I have never heard of a posh-wank.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Have they actually done a fluid simulation, I still hold the position you can't bukake in space or microgravity as it where

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Semen isn't gravity fed so I don't think the lack of it would make a difference.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Idk I think semen can have a little gravity, as a treat
