In the meantime you'll have to answer the questions.

I find it really difficult peeing in a wet suit, especially when wearing it while submerged in water. How do you manage it in micro-gravity?

Can't suggest Mary Roach enough.   Packing for Mars.  For the most part..it's a book about vomit, bo, and pooping..... in space.

(and also sex - or the alleged lack thereof)

In it you'll find what you probably already knew..intuitively, but had never put to full thought or expression..that nasa had a multi page sop on the proper way to dig a turd out of your ass with your fingers in zero g.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
