I just saw a segment on the news a few days ago about this. The call it the 30 mile high club. NASA claims as far as they know it has not happened yet. They are somewhat concerned about future missions though where crews may be in space for up to 6 months. It's only human nature. They said they might provide condoms on longer missions in the future. I know if I was a single man in space I'd definitely go for it.

There is virtually no privacy in the shuttle or the ISS except during washing and bodily functions; and then there's only room for one. So I doubt it.
However, after a few months of abstinence, I'll bet there's a LOT of sex when they get home again!
When we finally go to Mars, the crews will be gone from earth for at least two years. So I think the sex issue is one that NASA will have to take seriously. It's not good to have your crew too cranky from lack of booty. But it's also not good for jealous rivalries to flare up.

As Lodar says while an merchandise such by using fact the return and forth is in orbit, that's in unfastened fall. there is gravity pulling it in the direction of Earth, extremely much as much as there is on the floor, and that's falling, besides the fact that if it keeps lacking by using fact it is going so rapid. each person interior is falling on the comparable speed, so as that they look weightless. it rather isn't any longer something to do with the air, or vacuum, it rather is with regards to the fee and trajectory. A airplane (or for that count number a curler coaster vehicle) can commute for a short while in a ballistic trajectory that leaves the occupants curiously weightless. yet basically in area, in vacuum, can a vessel pass rapid sufficient to maintain doing that consistently without hitting the floor.

Well, given that usually Mission Control has them scheduled so tightly that they have trouble finding time to look out the window at the earth below, and you're in a space not much bigger than an airplane cockpit with anywhere from 3 to 5 other people probably watching, I'd say their opportunities are rather limited....

No, and it would take a pervert to even think of something like this! They are under observation from Mission Control 24/7.
