I don't really see a problem with these two characters having a more intimate relationship, as could be surmised from that scene in episode 22. But, clearly, most fans do. I suppose that letting it be very vague and "in the eye of the beholder" is the most sophisticated way out, really.
And, honestly, laying out a real-life parallel here: people with AIDS do have sex most of the time. They just use protection - or their loved ones do not really care about it. What should be different here? I mean, we don't even know if it's all that transmissible of a disease. Maybe they'd be alright, even if they did do it? Just wanna see how it turns out.

Dunno, suppose it goes with the level of tolerance, eh?

God, no... then I'd have to actually read his posts?

You know, that was probably the only reason I did try to watch Macross 7, the Jenius' offspring. If only more of the original cast were there, as well...

While I do find the idea of Alto and Sheryl hooking up in a moment of strong emotions and boiling hormones to be very hot, I don't think they kissed this time. Only an asshole director would build up a romance for this long and then gloss over a pivotal moment like their first kiss (okay, their first consensual kiss on both sides) with a pan-out. And I would like to think that Kawamori is not an asshole.

Since there is really not a direct word in Japanese that can sums up the phrase "lets make love", you camouflage it by other means. When Sheryl said, in that situation, "give me courage", it pretty much meant "lets make love". - Tak

Judging from Alto's appearance, it wasn't very rough or passionate sex. Matter of fact, it doesn't even look like he took off his clothes, and I doubt he's got enough imagination to...try other stuff. If they did have sex, it was probably brief, awkward, and just not very good. An experience Alto won't want to repeat any time soon, and probably not with a woman.

The whole mood of the scene, the downbeat music, etc. suggests something like "they made love desperately in the quiet dark, seeking a momentary solace in each other's arms." Which is understandable why Sheryl may have doubts about if it was really love. And please, don't spoil the scene with a explicit shot for the cheap thrill in the extended cut, Mr Director.
