From Wikipedia:
"The wardroom is the officers' mess in a warship. ....It provides a
place of recreation as well as being a dining room . .... Wardrooms have
rules governing etiquette. Traditionally considered taboo are three
topics--politics, religion, and sex ...."
IIRC the custom goes back to the 18th Century Royal Navy. A lot of
experience behind it.
