Well, actually gravity isn't simulated on the Space Station. Although the Japanese do have a centrifuge designed to go on station, I'm not sure it's big enough for people to be in.
It is certainly possible, but very unlikely. For one, there are camera's throughout most of the station which monitor the astronauts around the clock. Their schedules are also fairly rigid so there isn't a lot of time to "screw" around.
However, I have heard of some funny stories from some of the astronauts concerning shuttle missions. On one flight (I'll not provide names to protect the innocent) had an airforce guy and among the crew, two other Navy guys. One of the Navy guys had become motion-sick upon reaching orbit. In order to keep him from vomiting he required a shot of (vistaril). The shot is typically given in the buttocks. And having had a shot of it before, it hurts. It hurts really bad. Okay, it feels as if someone is forcing lava under your skin. Anyhow, the sick Navy guy had to drop his shorts and then hold on to a restraint to keep from moving around. The other Navy guy, who was going to give the shot, kept asking the sick one to be still so he could stick it in. Then the sick one in anticipation of the pain began chanting somewhat loudly, "Stick it in, Stick it in!" Over and over. Upon receiving the shot a large moan of pain burst out. Seeing as the airforce and Navy have a rivalry it was all the commander could do to keep from flying around laughing. Naturally it was very funny hearing it from the commander.

I'd have to ask my sister-in-law who works with them at NASA, but I don't know if they'd be very forthcoming with that particular information.
They don't have to stay in their suits while on the Space Station, so I guess it would be possible, especially while gravity is being simulated. So, I guess it's possible.

I heard about a married couple going on a space shuttle mission together but they were officially required to refrain from "marital relations"

They refuse to officially answer that question, so we'd have to ask an astronaut directly when they are a little tipsy.
