Sex is always popular, but also maybe not such a good idea for
people who aren't really confident in their
relationships/boundaries.

Anyone remember the very beginning of Stranger in a Strange Land?
I just can't think it's a good idea to be cooped up for weeks at
a time with someone you've suddenly decided maybe you *don't*
want to play with that way any more.  Or that people would be
sanguine about their SO's shipping out with other people in a
service situation if that was going on as a matter of course...
