Apparently, researchers on Antarctica have protected sex about every 3 days.
Well, the article didn't exactly say that, but it did say that 16,500 condoms were delivered as a year's supply for the 125 scientists.
Oh yes, I did the math:
365 days a year / 132 condoms = 2.76 days per condom
The condoms are available at no charge. That's a nice yearly savings, but I don't know if that is enough compensation for having to spend an entire freezing winter in constant darkness being stuck with the same group of people.
Actually, since both partners would be from the group of 125 people, it could be more often since they'd each have 132 condoms for the year. With 264 condoms per year, we're looking at almost every day. After all, there is a lack of outdoor activities and sunlight. They have to find someone something to do!
Few people will have the opportunity to have sex in Antarctica, and even fewer will have a chance to have sex in outer space. NASA definitely doesn't kiss-and-tell; they won't say whether this has or has not happened.
There's been speculation for decades about astronauts having sex while on missions. Thanks to Space Weddings, it could be a confirmed occurrence as soon as 2011. For $2.3 million, couples can get married in outer space. If it's your wedding night, it's part of your honeymoon, and you're spending that kind of money, I think there is a good chance a couple would go for it.
You have about 3 years to wait for a sex in outer space update...unless an astronaut sex tape gets leaked.
