I wonder if anyone care.
And for all we know Fry and Leela never had sex.

They have shown various characters' sexual encounters in other episodes, and since Fry's love for Leela is a main point of the show, I do believe they would have shown it in some episode.

Yeah, but nobody (not even Fry or Leela) knows what happened in the time slip from before their marriage up to their divorce.

This thread is old but in the light of recent comments on the Cartoon Network - I don't think she's pregnant it would have been apparent by now I think. Did they sleep together before their wedding in Time Keeps on Slippin' - I think probably yes. But part of the joke is that neither of them can remember so it doesn't matter anyway, we can only wonder. Originally posted by Teral: And she never had sex with Chaz. Adlai is somewhat uncertain. She does describe Adlai as "my boyfriend" at dinner which would tend to imply more, afterall she was apparently going to sleep with Chaz on their first date: "Confidentially, I may not make it back tonight", so I think she would have had the time with Adlai.

I just suprised that Leela didn't notice two things when she was dating Adlai: One, this guy, who she just re-met not too long ago, wants her to have his baby. Two, does she even remember how babies are made? When I first saw the episode, I thought I saw a pattern forming right there.

To be honest, Leela does seem pretty easy, in general. Pity-sex with Zapp Brannigan? How she quickly stepped over her own principles to have a shot at the gay beach bully in When Aliens Attack? The way that she and Alkazar ended up in bed together even though she realised early on that he wasn't a nice guy? Leela's always ready to have sex with total strangers at the drop of a hat. Including her nasty, married, boss at Applied Cryogenics. Including Sean, the guy who treated her like crap and cheated on her with other people's couches. I think part of it is due to her crushing lonliness and the desire to prove to herself that she's grown up. She wants adult relationships, and she interprets being adult as having lots of sex. Which would make it very surprising if she didn't have sex with Fry. But pregnancy... in the words of another easy Groening creation, Edna Krabappel: Hah!

She only needs to prove to herself that she's a person worthy of being loved. Good point. I suppose I just tend to assume that deep down all such people have child-like insecurities that are exacerbated by low intelligence. My apologies. But Leela is still easy. Whatever the reason.

Leela is not a slut. (I object to that word anyway, as a promiscuous man gets to be a 'stud' and is admired while for women it's somehow supposed to be a point of shame...but I digress).
Leela is not "easy." There are clearly a number of plot contrivances specific reasons for all the guys she has sex with. Let's examine them, point-by-point, shall we?
With Zapp Brannigan, it was pity. This only proves that she's compassionate.
With the beach bully, she only said she'd go for a walk with him, and only after she found out he was a professional bully (an actor playing a bully, in other words), not a real bully.
With Ipgee (her boss at the Cryogenics lab) it was stated that she did NOT know he was married because he never wore his ring. And it only said she asked him out, not that she propositioned him.
And Alkazar? Since part of my current story is based off this episode, I can assure you from repeated watchings - Alkazar was careful to keep his polite, noble, sad act going until she slept with him - only then, on the morning after, did he reveal his inner jerkwad. Plus, Alkazar presented himself as the only other member of her species left in the universe. The only hope of her race's survival (she believed) was having children with this polite, sad, noble, lonely man. That's not being "easy." That's being biologically healthy enough to act for the survival of your genes.
Now, Sean...she was in a long-term, committed relationship with Sean...and clearly finding someone else's couch fibers on his butt surprised the hell out of her (listen to her muttering in TDHAIP) and signalled the beginning of the end.
Adlai was another committed relationship. Again, not "easy" behavior. (Even if we had proof that she slept with him, which, from the tepid kiss he gave her on their first date, seems unlikely to me. )
The only time she approached "easy" in my opinion is in "Why of Fry," with Chaz. And hey, if a guy is going all out and totally focussed on impressing me, I'd find that pretty sexy, too. (Once Leela realized he was only interested in impressing himself, through her, and was actually an insensitive jerk with all the depth of spilled milk on linoleum, she gave him what he deserved...in spite of the fact that he was still just as "important" as he'd been before. )
In conclusion....I do not find Leela to be "easy." Fry is easy. Amy was easy when we first met her (but then, she's in college, and lots of people go nuts with the thrill of the collegiate social life). But given Leela's track record as we've seen it presented, she is just a normal adult woman who has a healthy sex drive, who's a little emotionally vulnerable, and who hasn't sworn an oath of celibacy.
And damn right I'll defend her when I see her getting unfairly bashed, see if I don't! (Resolute glare)

Seriously though who the hell doesn't have sex before marriage?(besides religious freaks and gays who have sham marriages e.g. Wacko Jacko and Tom Cruise) Anyway I think Fry and Leela most likely did do it during the timeskip but don't remember it, I heard a rumor that she did get pregnant but she had an abortion and ate the fetus for dinner. Seriously though Leela getting pregnant is a bad bad idea, she wouldn't be half as wankable if she was preggers.

As lonely as Leela is and as important as family is to her - if she ended up being pregnant, she'd be a single mother before she'd give up her child. Since we didn't ever see here with a child (and taking breaks to breast-feed), we can safely assume that she never got pregnant. Leela isn't easy, but she does throw herself, heart and soul, into relationships in the hope that they'll become something lasting and meaningful. As for her and Fry - she dearly loves him as a friend, but he's not what she wants in a mate. Besides, she's (porbably) afraid that if they dated and things didn't work out, she'd lose her best (and some could argue, her only trustworthy) friend - something she's not ready to give up. In a lot of ways, Fry is more important to her than dating material, and in other ways, he aggravates her to her wits end. You know, things that friends do to each other. BTW, welcome back Shiny. Does this mean that your home computer woes are over?

I kid; I'm a shipper too, and flamin' well proud of it, thankyouverymuch! To drag my own post on-topic: Did Leela and Fry do the horizontal-fandango during the time-slips? Possibly. Perhaps even probable, but there's no way to know. Did Leela become pregnant as a result? Also possible; remotely possible, unlikely even, but possible. But we'll never even have a chance to know unless until we get the movies. I'll, uh... I'll just ooze back out under the door now...

Wow. Some folks think Leela is "easy" because she, well, enjoys the company of men, especially when she thinks they're important (Chaz), "normal" (Adlai), or the last hope of the Cyclops race (guess who).
On the other hand, when Fry makes out with the "radiator woman from the radiator planet", or does snu-snu with the Amazonians, or gives in to the "dirty boy fetish" of Morgan Proctor, do we consider Fry "easy"?
Well, OK, we do. But Leela and Fry are scarcely the only promiscuous members of Planet Express. Prof. Farnsworth did the nasty (in the past-y and the present) with Mom. *shudders* Bender has had his share of interfacing (Planet Express Ship, Angelyne, Bea Arthur the fembot/femputer, to name a few). And before she met Kif, Amy dated quite a few men/organisms.
About the only happily married couple in Futurama are Hermes and LaBarbara -- and that's after LaBarbara left Barbados Slim. Fortunately, this allows Hermes to make snarky remarks about his coworkers.
In short (too late), there's a lot of nookie going on in Futurama. Sex makes for good plots, and it's not just Leela who's wanging chung.
Oh, and to get back on topic: It's possible that Leela and Fry did the horizontal mambo in between scenes in TKoS. But it's obvious from later episodes that they didn't procreate. Maybe it just wasn't Leela's "time of the month", or they used protection, or any number of present or future prophylactic methods came into play.
But does it matter? If neither Leela nor Fry remembers getting it on together, did the tree fall in the forest? Um, I mean, did Fry's wood stand firm? Um, I mean, if nobody remembers any details of their possible union, how would that affect anything in their lives?
