How strict are the Adepta Sororitas generally when it comes to sex and/or masturbation? I know some convents look the other way but i want teh general consensus on the subject, not the outlying ideas
Allowed under holy oath and/or matrimony? Celibate? Forbidden completely from partaking in any carnal desires?

they're not celibate or banned from sex. they're just typically too wrapped up in training/war and prayers too have time for it. there are examples however, such as in one of the Cain books a cannoness is sleeping with a guard commander.

There isn't actually definitive canon. We do know that it is unlikely they are celibate because of examples in black library books where they get laid.

If we go by old Fluff they are A-OK with banging as long as they bang a 100% confirmed human, or in this case, super-human

Depends on the order and subsect, I think. They serve the church and the church is stupid-diverse in exact details of the Imperial belief system. Likely dependent on regional deviations.

A central tenet of all human beings in the Imperium is that the Imperium forever needs more bodies.

Reproduction is encouraged at every turn, lest the Emperor's war machine run out of grist for the mill.

>Heresy!
>Not sure if heresy
>That's forbidden love!

Can confirm this. Love those books.
It's worth mentioning that it is a secretive thing. Cain finds out and thinks it over and doesn't tell anyone.

Only their chamber militant may have some kind of prohibition, mostly because being preggers would put them out of action for a while.

On a tangential note damn that must feel good even through the armor. I once sat like that on a 40mm Bofors when the gunner took a shot on a dare and that made me feel all tingly and flushed the rest of the day.
That rush of adrenaline and endorphins was a real doozy. Got chewed out like crazy afterwards but it was worth it. Only so many ways a girl can get off while on duty in the army.

it's only secretive because she's in command. and a surpisingly loose ass if memory serves. i think she drank and smoked as well.

Holy shit, this is like 'sex in the imperial palace' tier stuff.

What books is it again?

Ciaphas Cain, Hero/Defender of the Imperium.
My favorite 40k books by far (second place is Eisenhorn). Space Marines are way too samey as characters to get attached too, and guardsmen suffer that problem to a lesser degree.

Having seen and heard a 5 inch gun go off I can't imagine how you can sit on the barrel of a howitzer and not get fucked up.

Power Armor would probably make it survivable but doing it without the helmet on would be asking for a lethal dose of the EEEEEEEEEEEs

be fair, if you survive long enough in 40k to get into command, you'd start to live your life after being through all the shit she must have seen.

She's not sleeping with a guard commander, she's sleeping with the bursar at a schola.

whatever. the point is she is sleeping with a guy and that the sisters aren't banned from sex.

You're too busy dreaming about the Emperor, fighting heretics and training to have sex.

Correction, you're too busy being raped, mindbroken, and infected by genestealers

Does the Adeptas Sororitas have nunneries, where all the pregnant Sisters go to have their children?

Black Library isn't canon. There's no canon information saying that sisters are allowed to engage in any sort of sexual activity. Therefore, assuming they are allowed is just magical realm shit.

it's as cannon as anything else you tard. if you go by that logic, the codices and rulebook aren't your cannon.

A hilarious jest, my friend.

Surely, no one would be enough of a faggot to insist on this Black Library Isn't Canon meme in seriousness.

I suppose although I imagine the violent shock of the explosion would still be dangerous.

That said, assuming you are in fact some crazy army/marine grill that did this I have quite the boner and have no shame in saying so.

That's a logical fallacy right there, ignoring any claims on canonity.

If there's no information on something, there is, quite simply, no information on it. It's incorrect to assume that because no information exists on it, it doesn't occur. It's tempting, but in order to indicate that something doesn't occur, you need to find data where it should occur but doesn't. Simply because you can't find it or it isn't written about doesn't mean it doesn't occur.
If you allow for that fallacy, it could extend to almost anything.

You could have made claim that it would be illogical or improbable for them to have sex and cite their Monastic inspiration and origins, but that is purely guesswork on your part.

Here's a tl;dr if you somehow didn't read the above:
>tl;dr: Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

If black library isn't canon, then half the fluff and even special characters in the rulebooks and codeces aren't canon either.

The official word from GW is that only things that they publish in rulebooks and codices are actual canon. BL is just stories, but it's not like GW doesn't borrow stuff from there. Auspexes and Vox transmission came from Dan Abnett's books before it got in the IG codex.

if you're going down that avenue, then not even the codices and rulebooks are cannon as everything is down to interpretation and misinformation told by the narrator.

A) codeces and rulebooks don't cover everything. So even if no sororitas book ever covers the subject of sex, that does not confirm nor debunk the theory that they have sex. Even with black library it doesn't even give evidence that it's a common practice

B) I'm calling bullshit on that and requesting source. There codeces and rulebooks reference shit started by black library books all the time.

C) 40k has no canon because everything is canon. All accounts tell the same stories different ways.
The Tau empire sterilises human populations.
They only did it once on a conquered hive world.
They have never done any sterilisation.
All 3 of those statements are true because their cases are documented everywhere with different accounts, outside of black library

>She'll never make you wear an Emperor's face mask when he was in his prime and have a long and passionate sex with you.
She'll never make you wear Horus' face mask and stomp your balls while fucking your ass with her ceramite plated Ogryn tier strap on dildo, while also whipping your back and keep telling you to repent.
Just kill me. Kill me right now.

The only thing the Imperium is not short of is bodies.

What it needs is trained bodies, equipment, ships and better infrastructure to support them

Cain's Last Stand.

IIRC the SoB even run a Bene Gesserit like program to artificially increase the numbers of Imperial heroes by sexing up Imperial soldiers and agents that survived impossible situations.

If you want Spess Mhareen books with actual characters rather than just bolter porn go for Legion of the Damned and Rynns World.

At best a sister of battle might be fucking a Cadian during joint deployment.

At better best a SoB might be taking it in all three holes from a group of Catachans as thanks for rescuing her and her squad from a near ambush in the jungle.

At bestest best a SoB might be getting gangbanged by the Emperor's Companions in His throne room as she finalises her canonisation ritual.

At besterst burst A hospitaller might take off everything but her greaves during a medical examination and bid a guardsmen to have sex with her, showing little to no emotion as she clinically measures his sexual (and therefore physical) abilities.

But that's probably not canon outside of a particularly horny sister that has the freedom to bend the rules within her hospital, so at that point why even consider it?

Why do you people keep saying "best" when nobody has mentioned a Sister getting licked by a dying daemonette during a frantic close-quarters melee, thinking nothing of it, and slowly over the next several months finds her thoughts turning more and more toward lust and depravity as she slowly but inevitably grows a thick futa cock. Ever-increasinly desperate to hide her condition and lying to herself that she can still do her job and control her penetrative desires, she fails to notice her battle-sister's condition becoming more and more flustered and aroused in the sweat-laden haze of the armory after missions; a result of the pheremones she secretes in the stink of battle in growing amounts. The tension grows thicker and thicker in the armory, and secure in their innocence, none of the Sisters knows quite why, their faith-laden guard not up and ready among none but other daughters of the Emperor. How long will things build before someone - everyone - cracks and the desparate and terrible slaking of thirsts begins?

i don't want to be anywhere near you

Please kill urself alone

I hate traditional games

...

Could a Sister take on a Catachan guardsman in a hand-to-hand fight?

It still comes down to a woman fighting a man, so the answer is "no".

Here's your (you).
In armor, definitely. Out of armor, possibly - Catachan guardsmen are some of the toughest dudes around, but a Sister of Battle will probably have had more actual training, plus better nutrition (I'd image Sisters get the good rations, while the grunts get corpse-starch/soylens viridians).

Catachans are Death Worlders. They have a natural advantage in fights against people from other planets because their bodies have been specialized over generations for the very act of life itself being a deadly test of strength and will.

You would get this. And it would probably end up the same result too.

a: Correct, there's a galaxy full of worlds for the players to develop their own interpretation. Going hard on the canon like this is a bit ridiculous. People can believe whatever they want in order to have fun with their friends. I don't think they ever dropped the open-ability of the universe's canon since Rogue Trader, which is why we have Felinids, and the furries had a field day.

That kinda wraps up c, too.

As for b: from a redshirt like 10 years ago, sue me. Over the internet.

>from a redshirt like 10 years ago
Not him but this should be taken with a grain of salt. GW tells their redshirts jack shit. Even then, the info they get is from their sales rep, not higher up staffers. So I am still not buying it.

From the very 1d4chan:

This particular stance by GW is detailed by Gav Thorpe, who has been both a games developer and an author:

"[...] is the job of authors and games developers to illuminate and inspire, not to dictate. Perhaps you disagree with the portrayal of a certain faction, or a facet of their society doesn’t make sense in your version of the world. You may not like the answers presented, but in asking the question you can come up with a solution that matches your vision. As long as certain central themes and principles remain, you can pick and choose which parts you like and dislike."

By your same logic, all Sororitas are turbo-sluts as there's no canon information saying they're not allowed sexual activity either.

Therefore, assuming they're celibate is magical realm bullshit. Look up chastity belt fetishism.

>typical Elysian in over his head.

There is propaby some splinter order that takes all chirdren made by sisters and nurse them. Later they send it to Schola Progenium to be Imperium best.
Also Imperium is vast so there are some planet on wich Sisters Nurcery are sought by Nobles or comon folk as a symbol of status and devotion.
