It's from "Time Enough for Love", specifically in the first of the sections 
titled "Excerpts from the notebooks of Lazarus Long" (page 242 in the ancient 
copy on my bookshelf). The original quote, however, does not have a 
contraction of "it's". It is actually, "It is better to copulate than never".  
I don't know why I thought it was important to answer this one, but there you 
go <insert appropriate smiley here>. 

Take care out there.
