Out-of-this-world sex could jeopardise missions

Ellison says NASA should study the likely effects of taking couples up on long missions, as well as issues of sexual orientation and fertility. She suggests individual differences in sex drive could also be used to choose crews for Mars missions.


The last time I read anything on the sex-in-space issue, NASA was considering using some kind of anti-aphrodisiac.

Why don't they just send their crews up with Real Dolls? ;)

"Wouldn't it be cool to be the first people to have sex in space?"

I am pretty sure I read somewhere about two Russian cosmonauts (Man/woman) claiming this prize. Of course, I don't think they had any way to verify their claim.
