Fucking In Free Fall
You really have to wonder how it would go in a comfortable space habitat. I mean, would anybody ever get any work done? Or would they spend all their time on zero-gravity sex?

I’ve read it speculated that the energy cost to keep space habitats comfortable is minimal compared to the other costs, so they expect that space habitats will be shirtsleeves temperatures, or higher, so perhaps everyone will wander around in just shorts?
In the zero-g portions, wandering around is likely to involve a lot of ping-ponging off interior surfaces, so I could understand if people want to be more or less fully clothed. But I can easily imagine some sort of formfitting coverall of thin material, something artificial that doesn’t shed fibers to gum up the environmental systems.
Real world example: The ISS. Note how the crew wear basically full-body covering? Note that there are no laundry facilities on the ISS, that clothing is worn for a period of time and then consigned to the fire (put in a supply capsule that re-enters without a heat shield) despite the huge cost of boosting it to orbit. Temperature control already exists, keeping it warmer would not be an issue.
The reason is the clothing traps the dead skin etc that comes off our bodies, keeping skin exposure to a minimum is a hygiene issue.
I would imagine that the technical difficulties would mean that most microgravity canoodling will be done with the help of a lot of velcro garments and wall-coverings.
From what I’ve read, Hug is most likely right. Zero-gee sex takes a lot of work, because you’re likely to go flying away from your partner. Zero-gee play, including a lot of touching and tossing a ball around could be good foreplay, though!

In space, an extra pair of arms might come in handy to get a nice connection with good leverage.
Lois McMaster Bujold addressed the problem when she wrote a science fiction story, Falling Free, about a group of people bio-engineered to live successfully in a weightless environment. They had two sets of arms instead of a set each of arms and legs. It’s PG rated, but a good little read.
