    They’re going to need a padded room. I suspect sex in zero g is not what people expect it to be.

      Well, the hotel is on the Moon rather than in space, so it’s not really zero-g, just reduced. I think it’s like one-eighth Earth’s gravity?

      A bit more.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_of_the_Moon

      The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is approximately 1.625 m/s2, about 16.6% that on Earth’s surface or 0.166 ɡ.[1]

        Oh god, they literally have one of those simpleshow videos in a Wikipedia article…

        What I’ve never understood is the difficulty with blood pressure, as in you don’t have gravity pulling the blood down to the nether regions, making it hard to keep an erection. But how is that any different from when you’re lying down?
