In the Comic Books, Kryptonians and humans did have children together.
The Earth Two Superman and Lois had children in the eighties. And the current Superman apparently had children, as "The Last Scion of Superman" appeared in the mid nineties when DC did their millionth episode thing.

This is a very good question, and there are multiple answers. However, since you've asked it based on the movie timeline, let me see if I can help you out.
In the Superman Returns movie, the only reference they make to Lois and Superman playing "Bed Twister" is when her fiance' asks about her story, "I Spent The Night With Superman". However, to anyone that has actually seen the first movie, this was the name of the article that Lois wrote after she had her first interview with the S-Man on her balcony. The same scene where they go flying, and where fans all around rue the cheesy poem, 'Can You Read My Mind?".
So, that leaves the question of even if Lois and Supes did do "it", when did they? Now in the second Superman movie, the best answer lies in the plot point of after he got rid of his powers, him ans Lois spent the night together. Okay, maybe. Since he was inded human, that could be it. But that still gets a little touvhy. Especially since, with the release of the Richard Donner cut, it shows that the original intent was for him and Lois to spend the night together before he lost his powers.
Now here comes the interesting qwuestion. Lets assume that she got pregnant from when he lost his powers. Okay, that would classify him as human. Which means his DNA is...dtay with me now...human. So little Superboy wouldnt have any powers, because both his parents are...say it with me now....human!!
If you go along the assumption that they did have sex while he had superpowers, you come to the infamous question that you asked...how did they do it? The answer of course, is, very carefully. Lol. We have to suspend our belief enough that Superman can mate with a human, but his strength alone could, in all seriousness, kill her. So he would have to be careful. But that leaves Lois with a Kryptonian baby inside her for nine months. When that boy kicks, you can bet that she feels it.
Hope that helps

You're all forgetting that in Superman 2 he underwent a transformation in the chamber that stripped him of his powers and basically turned him into one of us (human).
We all saw the part where he and Lois were in that huge bed of his in the Fortress of Solitude.
What did you think was happening (or happened as the case may be) with the two of them naked or nearly naked beneath the covers??
Just because he was made human doesn't mean that his basic DNA didn't stay intact. Perhaps the boy is similar to him in that respect. You know, a hybrid. He has SOME of his father's strengths and weaknesses as well as his mothers.
Edit:
Okay,... taking heavens_buddha's response into consideration, let's re-think the DNA.
By the way... The Richard Donner Cut can't be taken as canon since it really never saw the light of day until recently. Granted, I liked his version a lot better except for the redundant "cop-out" ending that repeated the first movie's ending
Other than that,... lets continue.
PERHAPS... his Kryptonian DNA wasn't stripped from him. Instead it could have been made inactive like recessive genes.
So now we can figure that he was mortal like a human but still carried the recessive genes of his Kryptonian heritage. The baby would still be a genetic hybrid. So there's really no reason to think that when the baby kicked it would have injured Lois in any way. After-all from what we can gather the child in question was sort of fragile as it were in the present. Eye-drops, inhalers, etc... he was damn near an asthmatic. Maybe the "powers" passed on to him by his father were merely latent and it took an event like seeing his mother being beat around for them to manifest through strong emotional responses to stimuli.

Well by the fact that there is a child somehow it did work out. But how?
1) Kryptonian and Humans come from the same bases species. The super powers is a mutation that does not occur until later in life (like John Byrne's take) - This works unless you consider the first movie in the 1970's when a naked super baby is lifting a vehicle.
2) If we discount the first movie, could it be that Superman's genetic material adapts to the host (mother's) body. This would work well as Kryptonians could then reproduce with a broad range of humanioids.
3) Jor-El (Superman's father) knowing he was going to earth altered his genetic profile (in line with my second answer).

Well that and the fact that the child is described as "fragile" by Lois at the start is weird. When was he conceived? They really didn't make it clear where this fell into the Superman mythology. I thought I read that this movie was supposed to be after the second Christopher Reeves Superman movie but it didn't quite match up.

I thought I saw something where they talked about changing Superman's back story a little to allow him to have a child to try and make him seem more human for the movie because they didn't feel people could relate to things he was going through like they could with say Batman or Spider-Man. Which doesn't make much sense to me but oh well thats Hollywood for ya.

To my thinking, Superman is biologically a man like any other. Remember, it is his "dense molecular structure" that gives him his super powers here on Earth (and could account for his son's early fragility). No one was super strong or able to fly on Krypton. Remember Zod (Superman II) and his sidekicks being surprised by their powers as they approached our Earth and sun?
** Edit: Ahh,..you're coming around to my thinking on it, "Lighthawk.." Superman does clearly appear to be "mankind", albeit with "molecular" differences that affect him here on Earth. And it was the stimuli of the moment that allowed the child his burst of strength. He has not reached full development (I wasn't born able to balance on a bicycle).
Joking aside, I'm sure Superman would have the sense to be gentle during lovemaking, "heavens_b".

who says the biology doesnt mix? in the comics, in a possible/potential future (in the ''armageddon'' mini-series and cross-overs) lois did become pregnant by superman... but when the baby kicked, it killed her... so at the end supes hooked up with maxima, because her womb would be strong enough....

Nope. Sorry i do no longer out the homestead lots and visit the action pictures. I stay at homestead and hire them. Yeah yet i decide directly to work out click beacause that looks humorous. I hear it has a stable ending thats no longer humorous. that's a seroius ending.

Lois Lane is a super woman herself. I can't believe she banged Superman!
Holler!
