Note from Rachel - I've known Lauren and Emira via email/the internet since way back in the days of their site Soapboxgirls, and was thrilled to see they'd written The Boss of You.

We Must Have Space Sex For Moon and Mars Astronauts, Says Scientist [Space]

In a move that's been obvious since the film Barbarella hit the planet, a scientist's research is pointing to the need for sex in space. But it's for a scientific and sensible reason: avoiding frustration on long-term space missions, when crew-members are crammed into a spacecraft, and living in ridiculously close proximity with no possibility of escaping outside for a spot of fresh air.
