The 0g-SPOT Podcast is a conversation about sex, intimacy, and what it really means to be human in space. Eric Ingram, a space accessibility advocate and wheelchair user, and Alicia Topolnycky, an intimacy coordinator for 30+ film, TV, and theatre projects, come at the topic from very different angles. That is kind of the point. We talk about the things space agencies do not put in mission briefings. What happens to arousal in microgravity? How does disability change when gravity disappears? What does privacy look like inside a spacecraft? And if millions of people are heading to orbit, are we designing for real humans or just astronauts? It is light. It is curious. Sometimes it is ridiculous. But underneath it all is a real question. If we are expanding into space, how do we bring all of ourselves with us?

    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 EarthThe 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 EarthAlong 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/

    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 healthWhether masturbation could help astronauts manage stress on long missionsHow privacy changes when your coworkers are with you 24/7Designing space-friendly sex toys and pleasure devicesThe engineering challenges of fluids, batteries, restraints, and sanitation in orbitWhy preparing for intimacy may become part of preparing humans for spaceAlong 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. About our guest Jordan D'Nelle is a physician assistant and the host of the podcast Vaginas, Vulvas, and Vibrators, where she explores women's sexual health, pleasure, intimacy, and relationships. She combines her medical background with approachable conversations that help people better understand their bodies and build healthier relationships with sex.

    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 trainingThe relationship between cortisol, oxytocin, and life in spaceWhy orgasm and ejaculation are not the same thingHow disability and microgravity could reshape intimacyDesigning the ultimate space intimacy environmentWhy imagination may be humanity's most important space technologyWhether 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/

    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 intersectFrom 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. About our guest Dave Brody is a science journalist, filmmaker, and documentarian who has spent decades covering space exploration. He is the former Executive Producer of Space.com, previously hosted Inside Space on the Sci-Fi Channel, and has produced documentaries including Children of the Sky and Mars Calling: Manifest Destiny or Grand Illusion?

    Quickie - May 23, 2026 - Tom Cruising to Orbit

    What would it actually take to film the first intimate scene in space? In this Quickie episode, Eric and Alicia react to reports that Tom Cruise wants to film a movie in orbit that includes an intimacy scene. That raises a much bigger question: How would intimacy coordination even work in microgravity? From actor embodiment and consent to restraint systems, floating camera shots, and the practical realities of movement in zero gravity, this conversation explores the strange intersection of filmmaking, psychology, and space. We get into: • How intimacy coordination changes in microgravity • Consent and embodiment in an unfamiliar environment • Why restraint systems may become necessary • The conflict between cinematic visuals and practical space sex • What the first believable intimate scene in orbit might actually look like Because eventually, somebody is going to film a movie in space. And eventually, that movie is going to include sex. 🔗 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/

    Can humans actually get erections in space? Apparently… yes. In this Quickie episode, Eric and Alicia react to an astronaut’s firsthand account of waking up aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery with what he described as an “intense” erection in microgravity. From NASA’s historical discomfort around discussing sex in orbit to the physics of thrusting in zero gravity, this conversation goes from hilarious to surprisingly scientific very quickly. We get into: The astronaut memoir that confirmed erections in space Why NASA historically avoided conversations about sex The physics problem of thrusting in microgravity CPR harnesses and why the research may already exist Why sex in space keeps becoming a real engineering discussionBecause if humans are going to live in orbit, eventually someone is going to ask the obvious questions. And apparently… someone already did. 🔗 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/
