Thread 96172593

This is a real, honest, actual 40k question.

Can Space Marines have Sex?
I don't recall any scenes I've read (so far) nor in the lore (so far), but with decades of writing, surely there is a canon answer?

>>96172593 (OP)
in terms of their dicks being functional on paper yes, but in practice they are so heavily indoctrinated that most simply do not have a sex drive which when combined with them spending almost every waking hour either training, fighting, or some spiritual/chapter related duty it almost never happens, that being said we do have the space wolf (Logan the Trickster if I recall correctly) heavily implying he had sex with a rogue trader lady, but due to the fact his title is the trickster we can't know for sure how real it is, also you have the obvious emperors children shit

>>96172593 (OP)
Lore is usually vague and at times contradictory.

Shocking, I know.

>>96172593 (OP)
They get them cut off because they're useless and the last thing the Imperium needs is Space Marine dynasties.

>>96172593 (OP)
The Emperor's Gift seems to imply that most Marines (at least as far as the Grey Knight POV character is concerned) are not even remotely interested. Bjorn is apparently an exception:

"The Dreadnought stepped back, releasing her cheek. ‘No finer sight on any world than a frostborn maiden. Especially a beauty with black hair. Rare back when I had eyes to stare, and surely even rarer now.’

I stared at the towering figure, wondering if there was some difference in the process by which gene-seed was once cultivated compared to the method now. He seemed to be able to determine that Annika was attractive. I wasn’t sure I could make that perception myself..."

I think this is the same book that the Grey Knight showers with the fem inquisitor's retinue and she flirts with him. Naturally he's just too autistic to get it.

ADB is such a cancerous writer holy shit

But theyre only enchanced through geneseed which is implanted. I dont think anything the geneseed provides would carry over to the child.

I'm sorry we didn't get 9 full pages of a dreadnought x human female sex anon

>this is a real, honest, actual question
>what if thing, but sex?

>>96173108
Yes.

>>96172593 (OP)
The answer is Yes but also no.

Marines have all the necessary anatomy for sex to happen but the Space marine creation process has rendered them infertile. Most of them probably don't even know what sex is frankly.

>>96172593 (OP)
Yes but they exclusively have gay sex with each other to boost morale.

Space marines don't really fuck because they're indoctrinated from a young age into it and probably don't get to experience a true sexual awakening unless they're already implanted with the organs at an older age. Some of the more zealous or bloodthirsty chapters probably forgot what sex was.
Probably not unheard of in chaos space marines but some emperor's children interactions certainly implies it
Tau have a government mandate on when and how much they can fuck but it doesn't applies to other races in their empire
Deldar I don't need to say it of course they fuck
Im unsure about craftworld eldar but im inclined to say no because they are too focused on the path system and not falling for Slaneesh again
Harlequins would fuck if their role demanded it
Orkz don't know what human sex is about and only reproduce through spores
Tyranids only build themselves via biomass and the hivemind and don't reproduce sexually. Im unsure about if the genestealer's kiss is sexually acquired but anyonr with it breeds and breeds hapla bug children extremely often.
Admech use birthing vats and early indoctrination it's likely their doctrine hates sex
SoB don't have to take a vow of celibacy but nost of them don't have sex freely
LoV use only birthing vats and it's likely they don't even have dicks because their forms are perfected exclusivly for mining and making profits
Custodes just go back to SM
Inquisitors FUCK, Rogue Traders FUCK and ship captains FUCK
Guardsman can't resist but go on turbo sex mode the moment they get on a mixed regiment but during their duty they probably don't fuck often

>>96176898
Do knights and chaos knights fuck? Are they stuck to it or can they get out at will?

>>96176948
Almost certainly do, how can you continue your lineage without fucks?

>>96172593 (OP)
They can, they don't have any sexual desires though, but there are instances of space marines raping (usually chaos marines) so they can if they want to but the majority simply have no desire to

>>96172593 (OP)
Quite a few space wolves have been known to smash, and I believe this was after they got a bunch of the implants as Scouts or whatever the Woofs call them

>>96176898
Craftworld Eldar have sex but their numbers are severely limited by how many spirit stones they can procure from Crone Worlds.

>>96173040
Which makes them double useless. Not only are they normal humans, they could fuck with the established Imperial nobility with their claims to lineage. How many Terrans can claim (in)direct descent from a primarch?

>>96172722
>>96172593 (OP)
Considering all the hormones and extra organs they get, they're literally nazi transmen from outer space.

>>96172593 (OP)
I dunno ask /40kg/

>>96173097
We had to make room to talk about tranny Imperial pilots and gender nonbinary orks, you see

>>96177809
I thought there was something fucky about their reproduction process like birthing 1 kid would last around 100 years or something

>>96172593 (OP)
They can't reproduce without modification or mutation, we know that much, both rulebooks in horus heresy and Bile in novels notes it.

Sex, they probably can't do it without those moddifications as they are in effect chemically castrated, but if modified, they could do it.

>>96172593 (OP)
Most of them get borderline sexual gratification from combat and half of their astartes anatomy are hormonal organs that activate in high stress scenarios. Even if they could have sex it would unlikely be as exciting as being knee deep in the intestines of a tyranid warrior while screaming bloody murder. Slaanesh even gets half of it's renegade marines from the same pot of recruits that Khorne draws from with marines who are particulary more murderboner hungry than the average assault squad. The tendencys are there to be drawn from.

...modified?
