An SMBC comic listing "Bad arguments for having sex in space." In one panel labeled "Romantic weekend getaways!" a flame-haired man says "As soon as we both stop puking from motion sickness, I'm gonna rock your BLURGGHGHHHHH!" while vomiting on his partner. In a panel labeled "Crazy new positions!" one figure complains the other isn't being the propeller on the "sex helicopter" like in the book; the other replies that conservation of angular momentum keeps spinning them the opposite way, explaining "all the burning." In a panel labeled "Unearthly ambience!" two figures by a round window note it smells like poop because in microgravity poop floats, making the cabin "like a fishbowl." Finally, under "The one good argument for having sex in space," after a banner reading "That was awkward and humiliating," a figure raises a finger and declares "Microgravity is to blame!" The joke: zero-G gives you a built-in excuse for bad sex. Votey: a caption "Unless you were into it..." followed by a speech bubble bluntly replying "Nope."
