With civilians entering space more frequently, scientists are predicting intimacy in space is bound to happen, and some saying it will happen within the next 10 years. NASA says it has never happened yet. While it is not banned, astronauts who enter outer space have a code of conduct on what they can or can't do. This is on top of the current rule that married couples are not allowed to venture into space together.
Orbital space tourism may happen more often with growing technology and trips to space. These trips would last days or weeks, so passengers may find themselves in an intimate outer space interaction. They're calling it the "Kármán Line Club." Similar to the Mile-High club, the Karman Line is 62 miles up and marks the beginning of space.

· Blood circulation in zero gravity may make it difficult for men to perform… your blood goes to your chest and your head.
· What if you get pregnant? We have no idea if it’s safe to grow human embryos in space.
