The article to read on this topic is Larry Niven's "Man Of Steel/Woman Of
Kleenex," which attempts to rationalize Superman's powers, and apply them
to the problem of mating with Lois Lane.  Several topics are addressed:

A)  Super-sperm flying right out of LL into the sky over Metropolis
B)  How a super-orgasm wouldd blow LL's head off
C)  What Kryptonite colors do what, and their appropriateness to the problem

A must read!!
