Jump ahead 50 years - the US is colonizing the moon and sending up teams of people - probably mostly men - to do construction. Would the US send up prostitutes as well?

I’m comparing this situation to California and Colorado during the various gold rushes, and the construction of the Hoover dam, and similar times where it was largely men who did the work (mining, construction, etc.) in locations far away from their families.

No matter how remote, somehow there were always houses of ‘ill repute’ and women available to suit men’s sexual needs.

If we eventually colonize outer space, I’m assuming that the construction workforce will be mostly male. Since transport to space and subsistence will be highly controlled (rocket payload weight, food, water, air, etc.), decisions will be made about who can go.

My question: will the government (or whoever is colonizing) send prostitutes to keep male morale (and other things) up?
