Also, In zero g, would the money shot end up propelling the dude in the opposite direction? The percentage total body weight that is expelled is small compared to the overall, but based on simple momentum calculations there should be some change in momentum on the larger body...
Yes, there would be - kind of like how an octopus moves.
Not much of a change though.
Maybe DrPizza can use this as a sample problem in his physics classes. :laugh:
What great timing! I just started conservation of momentum today.
It won't work. The body will absorb most of the energy imparted on it by the ejaculation.
Yes, the body will absorb the energy, and start moving as a result. In reality, internal damping effects would perhaps cancel out any acceleration that may occur - for example, model the person as a simple beam, and they may begin to vibrate at the center as a result of the force imparted by the ejaculated material. Thus there would be motion, but the person would remain stationary.
Plug that model into some FEA software, and you could run a modal analysis to determine the frequency at which the oscillations might be likely to occur, as well as where the vibration nodes would be located.
Assuming the person is a "rigid object"

, then the person would begin to move.
Assume some values for the mass of the person and the mass of the ejaculate, as well as some velocities.
Calculate the momentum of the ejaculate, and you can get a force out of it, which would be imparted on the person.
F = ma
Solve for acceleration.
If you want to get really tricky about it, the spasms in an orgasm occur at approximately 0.8s intervals. Model that as a discontinuous function, and use a Fourier Transform to get an equation for the line; maybe add in some damping effects to account for the fact that the force imparted declines with each peak.
Then you can graph acceleration versus time.
See? This could turn into a problem employing some reasonably advanced calculus and sophisticated engineering software.
(Have I gone too far?)
