That NASA has done a zero-gravity intercourse experiment.

The 50th shuttle mission had married couple and it included spacelab. A pressurized and habitable module that could be isolated from the rest of the crew. Even before launch they were asked if it would happen, and denied it, as NASA has afterwards as well.

It doesn't help that several of the listed experiments was about human health, developmental biology and included animals and eggs to study ovulation, fertilization, cell division and growth.

They still won't let them have ANY alcohol in the US section of the ISS.

Given how US society treats alcohol, that seems reasonable. Our overall relationship with alcohol is pretty masochistically abusive.
