Missionary Control | 0g-SPOT Ep. 11
Can humanity have a healthy sex life in space? In this episode of the 0g-SPOT Podcast, Eric and Alicia are joined by sex and intimacy coach Andre Lazarus to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of becoming a multiplanetary species. As commercial space stations become reality, conversations about intimacy can no longer be ignored. Together they discuss: Why BDSM may unexpectedly help solve problems in microgravity How restraints, Velcro, rope, and communication could make sex in space safer The psychology of kink, power, and connection Why astronauts will still need intimacy, pleasure, and human connection How consent changes when a mission costs millions of dollars What commercial space stations might mean for relationships beyond Earth The conversation also explores military deployments, mission planning, eye contact, oxytocin, roleplay, safety checklists, and why "Missionary Control" might become an actual department someday. Turns out the hardest part of sex in space might not be the physics. It might be the communication. About our guest Andre Lazarus is a sex and intimacy coach, surrogate partner, BDSM practitioner, and relationship educator. He also appears as a sex expert on the UK television series Virgin Island. His work focuses on helping people build healthier relationships with intimacy, communication, consent, and pleasure. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/
How I Met Your Martian | 0g-Spot Ep. 10
Could you fall in love with a Martian? In this episode of the 0g-SPOT Podcast, Eric and Alicia are joined by evolutionary biologist Scott Solomon, author of Becoming Martian, to explore one of the biggest questions humanity may someday face: What happens after we settle another planet? From genetics and attraction to reproduction and evolution, the conversation examines how future generations born on Mars could become physically, biologically, and culturally different from the people who stayed on Earth. Together they discuss: Could humans eventually become a new species on Mars? Would Earthlings and Martians still be attracted to each other? How gravity, radiation, and microbiomes could reshape human evolution Why larger brains, different skin colors, and even new body odors might emerge The ethics of selecting the first Martian settlers Whether genetic engineering should play a role in humanity's future beyond Earth Along the way, they explore Neanderthals, pheromones, Martian sheep, sci-fi predictions, and what it truly means to remain human as we spread across the solar system. Because someday... your soulmate might not be from Earth. About our guest Scott Solomon is an evolutionary biologist and professor at Rice University. His research focuses on evolution and genetics, and he is the author of Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds, exploring how future generations of humans could evolve as they settle other worlds. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/
Handling Your Own Payload | 0g-SPOT Ep. 9
What happens when astronauts need a little alone time? In this episode of the 0g-SPOT Podcast, Eric and Alicia are joined by Jordan D'Nelle, physician assistant and host of Vaginas, Vulvas, and Vibrators, to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of long-duration spaceflight: solo sex. The conversation starts with masturbation and quickly expands into privacy, stress relief, sex toys, spacecraft design, and the practical realities of human pleasure in microgravity. Together they discuss: Why solo sex is an important part of overall health Whether masturbation could help astronauts manage stress on long missions How privacy changes when your coworkers are with you 24/7 Designing space-friendly sex toys and pleasure devices The engineering challenges of fluids, batteries, restraints, and sanitation in orbit Why preparing for intimacy may become part of preparing humans for space Along the way, they invent vending machines for space toys, debate the ideal "sex booth" for a future space station, and imagine what pleasure technology might look like once humans begin living beyond Earth. Because if we're designing spacecraft for humans, we should probably design them for all of humanity.

69-Mile-High-Club | 0g-SPOT Ep. 8
If humans are going to live in space, should we actually train for intimacy the same way we train for spacewalks? In this episode of the 0g-SPOT Podcast, Eric and Alicia are joined by Erica Leroye, M.Ed, founder of Creative Body Release, sexological bodyworker, movement educator, and host of It Doesn't Have to Be Hard. Together, they explore what preparing for intimacy in space might actually look like. The conversation goes far beyond mechanics. We discuss embodiment, stress, oxytocin, astronaut health, disability, pleasure, and whether sexual wellness should be considered part of human performance during long-duration missions. Along the way, we imagine what the first true "sex spacecraft" might look like, debate whether astronauts should train for pleasure before launch, and discover that maybe the best piece of equipment is the human body itself. In this episode: Why training for intimacy may not be so different from astronaut training The relationship between cortisol, oxytocin, and life in space Why orgasm and ejaculation are not the same thing How disability and microgravity could reshape intimacy Designing the ultimate space intimacy environment Why imagination may be humanity's most important space technology Whether you're here for the science, the psychology, or the inevitable "69-mile-high club" jokes, this episode asks a surprisingly simple question: If we're preparing humans to survive in space, are we also preparing them to thrive? About our guest Erica Leroye, M.Ed is the founder and Chief Erotic Officer of Creative Body Release, a sexological bodyworker, movement educator, and educator focused on helping people reconnect with their bodies through pleasure, movement, and sexual wellness. She is also the creator of It Doesn't Have to Be Hard, a community dedicated to men's sexual health and whole-body wellbeing.

LIVE from Austin - The Three Dolphin Problem | 0g-Spot Ep. 7
What has really happened behind closed hatches in space? In this episode of the 0g-SPOT Podcast, Eric and Alicia sit down with longtime space-tourism advocate Samuel Coniglio to explore the unofficial history of pleasure, privacy, alcohol, and commercial human spaceflight. Sam has spent more than two decades advocating for space travel that goes beyond government astronauts and research missions. He takes us from the experimental rockets of the 1990s and the first paying space traveler to private space stations, orbital hotels, and the moment space tourism finally becomes ordinary. Along the way, we investigate some of human spaceflight’s strangest stories and persistent rumors: Did a married astronaut couple secretly consummate their relationship in orbit? Have astronauts found private corners away from Mission Control? What was the alleged Three Dolphin Club? Did a 1990s adult film really capture sex in zero gravity? Why did Russian cosmonauts reportedly bring cognac instead of vodka? Could future space hotels finally make intimacy beyond Earth possible? We also discuss why NASA has historically resisted commercialization, what changes when private companies control the spacecraft, and how everything from alcohol to adult content could become part of the space-tourism economy. Sam even brings along a zero-gravity cocktail glass, inspired by the same physics astronauts use to drink coffee in orbit. Some stories are documented. Some are rumors. All of them reveal something important about the parts of human spaceflight that official histories tend to leave out. Because wherever humans go, humanity follows. About our guest Samuel Coniglio is a longtime space activist, author, and member of the Space Tourism Society. His work focuses on commercial spaceflight, space tourism, off-world lifestyles, and the everyday experiences that will shape life beyond Earth. He is the author of Creature Comforts in Space, which explores how people may eat, drink, relax, travel, and live as spaceflight moves beyond government programs and becomes part of ordinary human life. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/
LIVE from Austin - Spaceflix and Chill | 0g-Spot Ep. 6
When humans finally begin living in space, who gets to tell the story? In this episode of the 0g-SPOT Podcast, Eric and Alicia sit down with veteran space journalist, filmmaker, and documentarian Dave Brody to explore how sex, intimacy, reproduction, and even adult content may shape humanity's future beyond Earth. After decades covering the space industry, Dave brings a unique perspective on why conversations about sex in space have remained taboo, how commercial spaceflight could change that, and why the public narrative matters just as much as the science. Together they discuss: Why commercial spaceflight changes everything The ethics of researching sex in space Artificial gravity and designing habitats for intimacy Long-distance relationships between Earth, the Moon, and Mars Neural interfaces, haptic technology, and the future of intimacy Why journalists and filmmakers will shape how the public views sex in space How disability, accessibility, and space design intersect From rotating space habitats to OnlyFans in orbit, this conversation explores what happens when humanity begins living beyond Earth and why telling those stories responsibly matters. Because someday, sex in space won't be a headline. It'll just be life.

Set Your Phasers to Vibrate Part 2 | 0g-SPOT Ep. 5
What happens when sex, technology, and identity collide? In Part 2 of Set Your Phasers to Vibrate, Eric and Alicia continue their conversation with Rod Roddenberry and Garrett Wang, moving beyond Star Trek and into the realities we are rapidly approaching. From holodecks to AI companions, this episode explores how technology is reshaping intimacy, desire, and even love itself. Together they discuss: AI generated intimacy and the question of consent Ownership of identity in a world of digital replicas Virtual relationships and emotional attachment Whether love with an AI can be real Why human connection, communication, and presence still matter As science fiction becomes reality, the questions become less hypothetical. If we can create perfect digital partners, what happens to real relationships? And what does love actually mean when anything can be simulated? 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/
Set Your Phasers to Vibrate, Pt. 1 | 0g-SPOT Ep. 4
What does Star Trek get right about sex in space? In this episode of 0g-SPOT, Eric and Alicia take a detour into science fiction to explore how one of the most influential space franchises of all time has handled intimacy, relationships, and human behavior in orbit. They are joined by Rod Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, and Garrett Wang, known for his role as Ensign Harry Kim on Star Trek: Voyager, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends fandom, philosophy, and some very real questions about the future of space. Together they discuss: How Star Trek approached sex and relationships across different series Why intimacy is often implied but rarely explored directly The role of repression and cultural norms in shaping space narratives Isolation, long duration missions, and what actually happens when humans are stuck together in deep space The holodeck, alien intimacy, and the realities of desire in a sci-fi universe From glowing alien encounters to holodeck fantasies, this episode asks a simple question: If Star Trek imagines the future of humanity, why does it still struggle to show one of the most human parts of us? And more importantly, what does that mean for the real future we are building? 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/
Max-Q Glow Up: Feeling Sexy in Space | 0g-SPOT Ep. 3
Looking good in space might be harder than you think. Microgravity changes the human body in strange ways. Fluids shift upward, faces get puffy, hair behaves differently, and traditional showers are not exactly an option. Suddenly the idea of getting ready for a first date in orbit becomes a much bigger challenge. In Max-Q Glow Up: Feeling Sexy in Space, Eric and Alicia are joined by Shalini Vadhera, founder and CEO of Ready Set Jet, to explore confidence, attraction, and personal presentation beyond Earth. Together they discuss: How microgravity changes the way our bodies look and feel Grooming and hygiene in an environment without normal showers The psychology of confidence and attraction Beauty, self expression, and identity in space What getting ready for a date might look like in orbit Because if millions of people are heading to space one day, someone is going to have to figure out how to get ready for date night. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/
Let’s Get Physical…In Orbit | 0g-SPOT Ep. 2
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. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website:https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧All platforms:https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/ #HumanBodyInSpace #SpaceMedicine #Microgravity #SpaceScience #AstronautHealth #SpacePodcast #FutureOfSpace #LivingInSpace
