Episode 11: Missionary Control
What happens when BDSM meets orbital mechanics?
Sex and intimacy coach Andre Lazarus joins Eric and Alicia to discuss how communication, consent, restraint, psychology, and even kink could influence the future of human relationships in space.
From safety checklists to commercial space stations, this episode explores why intimacy may become just another mission requirement for life beyond Earth.
Episode 10: How I Met Your Martian
Will humans still be human after generations on Mars?
Evolutionary biologist Scott Solomon joins Eric and Alicia to explore how living beyond Earth could reshape our bodies, attraction, reproduction, and even what defines our species.
From larger brains and changing microbiomes to pheromones, Martian babies, and the ethics of engineering humanity's future, this episode asks what happens when evolution leaves Earth behind—and whether love can survive speciation.
Episode 09: Handling Your Own Payload
What does solo sex look like in space?
Eric and Alicia are joined by physician assistant and podcast host Jordan D'Nelle to explore masturbation, pleasure, privacy, and sex toys in microgravity.
What begins as a conversation about solo sex quickly becomes a surprisingly practical discussion about astronaut wellbeing, spacecraft design, and how future space habitats might support one of humanity's most universal experiences.
From stress relief and pleasure protocols to custom toys, vending machines, and dedicated "sex booths," this episode imagines what it would really take to make intimacy possible beyond Earth.
Episode 08: 69-Mile-High Club
What if astronaut training included learning how to reduce stress through pleasure, embodiment, and sexual wellness?
Eric and Alicia are joined by Erica LeRoy, founder of Creative Body Release and It Doesn't Have to Be Hard, for one of the most unexpected conversations we've had yet.
Together they explore how astronauts prepare for every imaginable scenario except one of the most human experiences there is. The discussion spans movement, disability, oxytocin, orgasm, stress, and what a spacecraft designed for human intimacy might actually look like.
It starts with the "69-Mile-High Club."
It ends with a conversation about what it truly means to prepare humans for life beyond Earth.
Episode 07: The Three Dolphin Problem
Has sex already happened in space?
The official answer is no. The rumors tell a much stranger story.
Longtime space-tourism advocate Samuel Coniglio joins Eric and Alicia to explore the unofficial history of intimacy, alcohol, adult entertainment, and private human spaceflight.
From alleged astronaut encounters and the Three Dolphin Club to Russian cognac, zero-gravity pornography, commercial space stations, and an actual cocktail glass designed for microgravity, this episode looks beyond the sanitized history of human spaceflight.
Some of the stories can be documented. Others remain rumors. Together, they reveal how commercial spaceflight could finally make room for the human activities government programs have spent decades avoiding.
Episode 06: Spaceflix and Chill
What happens when humanity starts treating space as just another place to live?
Veteran space journalist and filmmaker Dave Brody joins Eric and Alicia to discuss the future of intimacy beyond Earth, from commercial space stations and rotating habitats to ethics, journalism, accessibility, and how we'll tell the story of the first generation to truly live in space.
It's a conversation about far more than sex. It's about what it means to become a spacefaring civilization.
Quickie - May 23, 2026 - Tom Cruising to Orbit
In this Quickie episode, Eric and Alicia explore what it would actually take to film the first intimate scene in space.
Using reports about Tom Cruise potentially filming an intimacy scene in orbit as a jumping off point, the conversation dives into embodiment, consent, restraint systems, and the challenges of making intimacy believable in microgravity.
Because filmmaking in space is not just a technical challenge.
It is a human one too.
Quickie - May 9, 2026 - Erections in Space
In this Quickie episode, Eric and Alicia discuss one of the most obvious but least publicly discussed questions about sex in space:
Can astronauts actually get erections in microgravity?
Using astronaut memoirs, historical NASA reporting, and some surprisingly practical engineering comparisons, the conversation explores how intimacy in orbit may be less hypothetical than many people assume.
Because eventually, biology always shows up.
Quickie - April 27, 2026 - The Daily Show Talks Sex in Space
In this Quickie from April 27, 2026, Eric and Alicia react to a Daily Show segment exploring sex in space, including the infamous two-person “two suit” and the realities of making intimacy work in microgravity.
Part reaction, part analysis, part chaos.
Because every time this topic resurfaces, it raises the same question.
Why are we still not taking it seriously?
Episode 05: Set Your Phasers to Vibrate Part 2
In Part 2 of Set Your Phasers to Vibrate, the conversation shifts from science fiction into reality.
With Rod Roddenberry and Garrett Wang, we explore AI, digital identity, and the future of intimacy in a world where technology can simulate connection.
From virtual partners to questions of consent and ownership, this episode asks what happens when the line between real and artificial begins to disappear.
Because even as technology evolves, the need for real human connection remains.
