it's highly unlikely, fluids stick together and make drops in the air which you can easily see and avoid. and also, come on, women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm floating through the air is even less likely that women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm swimming in the water of the public swimming pool ...

Good point, don't wank in the swimming pool either.
What about wanking in the hand lotion at least ?
Well I guess that's fine. It's a long time since I was at school but I don't think hands can get pregananant.
Urban legend, dude wanked in the hand lotion and sis used it as lube or something.
The chlorination of a public swimming pool is deadly to sperm, so I imagine the chances on a spaceship are a lot higher.
Also "easily seeing and avoiding" is just not realistic. You don't have eyes on your vulva that are focused on checking for stray sperm globs 24/7.
Haha imagine a female astronaut free breeze for the lolz. Maybe even the reason the male astronaut is cranking.
Clothes they are wearing clothes.
Lol. Chances for accidentally short circuit something with stray fluid are much much higher than creating a new human this way.
I'm not looking to have a baby, but I gotta admit that if I were an astronaut and the one-in-a-million chance of getting impregnated by floating sperm happened, that'd be incredible. I'd have the first baby conceived in space! What a cool story to have in a family's lore.
Of course, that's provided it survives the rest of the trip.
This is how we get Space Jesus

You are a bold one.

There's a research grant to be had here.
false article, but fun fact!
astronauts on Mir got porn sendt up, as well as having a small supply of alcohol for special occasions.
aaand nobody got pregnant.
