...wear a condom.
If we ever colonize space we're going to have to take steps to improve radiation shielding. Earth's atmosphere protects us well from radiation. Our current spaceships, not so much.
And some people are concerned about space tourists trying zero-G sex. Zero-G sex might not result in conception, but if it does, the cosmic radiation could cause birth defects. Attempts to develop mouse embryos in space have not gone well, microgravity decreases testosterone levels and sperm production in male rats, and female rats mated during spaceflight have had early pregnancy loss.
In other words, wear a condom. We don't know exactly what might happen, with the most likely consequence of space conception being miscarriage. But...well.
Wear a condom. Take precautions. And if you don't feel like sex up there, it's the gravity, baby.
