Before we can talk about sex in space, we need to understand what space does to the body.

In Let’s Get Physical…in Orbit, aerospace medicine physician Dr. Sheyna Gifford joins us to break down the biological realities of microgravity.

We discuss:

• Space adaptation syndrome (yes, most astronauts vomit)
• Fluid shifts and “puffy face”
• Hormonal changes, including testosterone fluctuations
• Sleep disruption and elevated cortisol
• Gastrointestinal changes in orbit
• The stress and privacy constraints of spacecraft environments

Space isn’t romantic by default.

It’s loud. It’s bright. It’s physiologically disruptive.

If intimacy is part of the human experience, these changes matter.

This episode builds the biological framework for understanding pleasure, arousal, and connection beyond Earth.
