In space, everyone can hear you moan

A Very Scary Fairy Tale Fraught With Conservative Values: From Scooter Libby’s novel or roman a clef (!) The Apprentice.

At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest. 

Child-raping bears aside, there’s so much more: copulation with a downed-deer, creative urination… Can you bear to read more … ? [Shakespeare's Sister is all over it].Wouldn’t you so much rather be reading NASA’s new potboiler about the risks of sex in space? Or as the Guardian warns:

A spot of high jinks in orbit is likely to fuse most remote sensors - and confuse mission control. In space, everyone can hear you moan.
