NASA should consider sex in space

An NAS report has suggested that NASA consider the ‘relationship’ problems that might develop during extended missions in space. A mission to Mars would have to last several years, so the crew would likely get restless.
Personally, I think Larry Niven has already provided the answer to this little problem. In Ringworld, 1970, he posited the existence of a ship's whore on long trips. On a small ship, without enough room or enough people for everyone to do their own thing, how else are you going to stop the crew from going stir crazy?
