There is a fictitious account of NASA doing sex studies. It an official looking NASA report. It's on the internet, but I don't know the search terms for it. You can probably find it on snopes.com, through category browsing.
Nope. Though I do believe NASA has a policy for it, I don't recall what. They are also looking very heavily into this for future Mars missions. If you have coed crew stuck together for years in a tiny space, there's bound to be some tensions, especially from the potentially red-blooded male types that are often astronauts. Though they are also looking very hard into deciding what type of personalities would make the optimal crew.
I have actually heard about the zero-G pornography (or erotica, I don't know the difference). As far as actual sex in space, there was a married couple that went up but I don't think that space missions are as conducive to romance as one might think, what with the cramped conditions, other astronauts, and of course hygeine issues.
