The Muppets reference was deliberate -- I'm glad some of you enjoyed it. Sex in space would be awkward: because of Newton's second law, thrusting would push the couple apart. Some sort of bondage would be required. Yes, folks, kinky sex is the only kind you could have. There's also the problem of -- and I'm struggling to phrase this delicately -- droplets of liquid floating around the ship and getting in people's eyes and short-circuiting the electrical equipment and stuff like that. On the up side, whips would be just as effective as gravity plays almost no role in the action of a whip. (To see this, compare the difference in sensation between being struck with a whip and having one dropped on you from a few feet up.)
