    You could’ve dropped that archaic first sentence, lol. As a man, not all men™ have that “need”. Also women jerk it too. I’ve woken up more than once as my partner is in full paint mixer mode.

    For the topic at hand, here’s an article that goes into it a bit. Mostly just the “can you get aroused in space” angle. There is this bit tho:

        Well, if you had artificial gravity — like, a spacecraft/space station with some sort of rotating cylinder, so that you get a similar effect from inertia to what we get from gravity on Earth — you could effectively do it, though maybe you could quibble on whether it’d technically count as “falling”. Science fiction and such has presented that as something likely necessary if one needs to spend lots of time in space.
