Interesting information.
Shortly after that astronaut went nuts not too long ago, Slate ran an article on zero-g sex. Link is here - http://www.slate.com/id/2159265/
It should be completely safe for work, by the way.
The article mentions that while there have been no confirmed liaisons in space, there have been a few times when something *might* have happened (as in "something theoretically could have happened", not as in "something likely happened but no one's talking about it").
The article also talks about other, more physical issues involving zero-g sex, ranging from lack of privacy and space, to issues brought about by the fact that the couple is in low gravity. As for "human testing" of conception - I'm sure it's only a matter of time before some country at least tries it. Not all nations are as strict on the ethical concerns involved, and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a nation that has the capability to put a man and a woman in orbit decides that the usefulness of the information (perhaps to judge the viability of a long-term lunar settlement) outweighs any ethical concerns.
