A quick short comment on why astronauts should NOT have sex in space


"On the other hand, keeping such [sexual] acts private is likely to tax even the most resourceful astronautic couple. Spacemen and spacewomen are constantly monitored for pulse and temperatures. 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."

Other items highlighted in the article are things like pregnancy and jealousy.

There are those who would argue that zero gravity sex is a selling point... I seem to remember one of the blurbs about the virgin atlantic space plane touting 'enough privacy for the hundred mile high club'... but I could be wrong.
