I have already written about procreation on the red planet and about sexual mores. So what about the deed itself? How different, if at all, might sex be on Mars? Well it would be more bouncy, that is for sure. Mars gravity is only a little more than a third that of Earth but a man or a woman's mass remains the same. Action and reaction being equal and opposite, then sexual manoeuvrings will have a good deal more bounce. The consequence might be that a certain concentration on rhythm (not the rhythm method!) and control might be needed to stay coupled, as it were. More people might also be encouraged into positional variety. The ease of trying out the offerings of sex manuals, and of course the Kama Sutra, is likely to be considerably enhanced by one-third G. Stamina and strength requirements for the more exotic arrangements will both be much reduced in a Mars colony.
Will sex be better, worse, or equally good and bad, in a martian environment? I really could not guess. And perhaps this is a good point to stop speculating, before I become charged with a prurient interest by the less open-minded of readers!
