Why did Emps make the Space Marines Asexual?

Why did Emps make the Space Marines Asexual?

because he eats their testicles for dinner.

Because GW are a bunch of immature manchildren who can't trust themselves to handle issues of sexuality in an acceptable manner.

>why does a wargame not focus on sexuality?

Because The Astartes are married to their duty.

Not what i'm asking, but okay

Simple. It's in order for them to focus more on their job and things related to their job. Also Astartes see sex and sexual interactions as a big waste of time. A waste of time that could be used to purge, kill, purge, slay, purge, annihilate, purge, genocide and purge the enemies of the Emperor and the Imperium.

That too.

They could purge chaos by fucking it away

Marines are already dangerous enough without throwing sexual frustration upon them.

He didn't want astartes to take over humanities role as leaders of the galaxy

There's no place for romance in a galaxy devouring war.

To discourage them from wanting to play house. Because that's all it would come down to fluffwise if that particular pandora's box were ever opened. Your question, along with female marines would just lead to Space Marine lore watered down to a 9-to-5 job with week-ends off and fucking dental. Don't even pretend the hacks they call writers wouldn't shovel this shit down our throats when they couldn't even find it in themselves to not wank psykers everywhere, to the point that for many, inquisitor and psyker are damn near synonymous.

They're weapons of war not sex. In addition to that: He probably wouldn't want them to breed.

>They're weapons of war not sex.
What would it look like if the Emperor made human weapons of sex?

FATAL 40k

Like Slaanesh, except practical and efficient.

The volatile chemical cocktail pumped into their bodies to mutate them into supermen makes them infertile. They could probably still have sex if they really wanted to, and I think I recall something about space wolves doing it as a tradition type deal, but without the ability to breed why would they bother? Besides, they're weapons, not sex toys. Such things would distract them from their duties.
Emperor's children started doing the dirty as soon as they began to fall to chaos, what with that theatre orgy. Slaanesh surely couldn't have mutated them that fast, so it seems likely that their bits are still intact at least.

>without the ability to breed why would they bother?
The internet being 90% porn tells me many can see the appeal of sex without the need to breed. It would be an unnecessary distraction, for sure, but not being able to pop out mini-marines wouldn't stop them(or really anyone) from indulging in it.

Because Emps only approves of the purest form of love: yuri.

Because you don't want your supersoldiers to be able to reproduce on their own. Same reason why he never made any female space marines.

Admittedly they probably wouldn't be able to conceive with regular women *anyway*, but you don't want to tempt fate.

So they couldn’t replace natural humans

>Why did Emps make the Space Marines Asexual?
Because humanitarians believes that lack of testosterone makes you a good soldier

To make it harder for Slanesh to tempt them. Duh.

Because he only wanted them to support humans rise to power, not replace them

Well that fucking failed.

>Admittedly they probably wouldn't be able to conceive with regular women

I dont see why not.

One Astarte would repopulate a local village and maybe pass the geneseed compactibility to the children.

Another point is to prevent planet favorism, why bother recruiting from many worlds when your kids from your chapter can do. Inbreeding destroys the foundation of a faction like a slow rot

No, i get why you would want to prevent it, that wasn't what i was questioning

Aint got time for that shit.

I figured it was because they'd technically count as mutants, which are sterile.

Even if that weren't the case, and the gametes hadn't been screwed around by the gene-seed, any offspring would just be regular humans.

Which might still be enough of a problem for Emps to try and hypnotherapy it out of them.

It's exactly what you asked

You might want to go back to school, because you're lacking in reading comprehension

>I need to put sex in everything I do because I am totally over it.

So GW doesen't have to menition sex explicitly in their kiddy diddy setting.

So they don't literally and figuratively fuck around and instead serve as walking, talking murder machines.
Their entire existence is dedicated to nothing but war.

'Cause they are warrior monks in SPEZZ.

>without the ability to breed why would they bother?

You virgin.

For what purpose does your walking killing machine need to waste time on sexual intercourse? It's a distraction from their function. It's like asking why you don't build boltguns with a dildo attachment.

He didn't. He made them tacticosexual. They get off on warfare. This is why chapters tend to fetishize different styles of warfare.

Because they have one very specific job: do war good. Getting laid doesn't contribute to that.

For reasons like pic related.

Notice how much of Catholicism he appropriated? Yeah. Now ask the question again when you get less retarded.

If that is not possible (it usually isn't) then just accept that you are too much of a windowlicker to understand.

...

Honestly it was probably done to prevent a repeat of the Iron Men. By ensuring the Marines would forever be dependant on humanity, they couldn't go full Iron Men and try to displace/replace mankind. The fact that such an idea failed is something that's very 40K-esque.

In fairness the game dates back to the 80's, when that kind of attitude was the norm in most of the West, especially Britain and America

Because like all heightened aspects of humanity, the Space Marines with functional "need to breed" would fucking Steel rain onto a world, bust down the doors of the poor peasantry, and violate the women folk once a cycle or so and bust a nut so hard, it becomes as loud as that one orgasming Nigra sound we all hear in micspam.

So yeah, Space marines would more or less breed top-notch human specimens at the cost of possibly killing a mate, or causing lowered rep with a given planet, unless the populace was conditioned to totally cuck-out before-hand, anyone defending their household being deemed a traitor to the Imperium, unless they actually kill the marine and therefore take said marines place, as some weird form of adoption/compensation

I mean, if I had my way, that's why I'd have sororitas- it's basically the go-to place for devout dedicated women who have trained their entire lives to service Angel-dick.

Because Space Marines were never intended to replace humanity.

This.

They are meant to defend it. Not replace it.

>Scifi warrior monks
>Hurr durr why aren't all the space marines having sex with all the sisters of battle?

That is some pretty severe artifacting.

Because it adds to their more than but still less than human motiff

In-universe reason: The Emperor intended standard humanity to inherit the galaxy, not genetic monstrosities for war. He didn' twant them corrupting the gene-pool

Meta-reason: GW doesnt want to sell sex to kids

The Emperor didn't think anything through. He just did things as the opportunity arose without any consideration of the consequences.

This is the only sensible explanation that fits all of his decisions.

Because in the Grim Darkness of the Future there is Only War. Space Marines exist for war. They have no other purpose. Anything else is superfluous, a waste of time and resources. Space Marines aren't humans, they gave that up. They're instruments, tools. Do you ask why your hammer doesn't fuck your saw?

He didn't want them to be the new master race and replace humanity. Astartes are a tool, not a species.

To maximize T levels at all times. No fap for centuries.

>i like this bolter
>this is a nice bolter

Had had no idea Alan Moore posted on tg

>1: Space Marines are modelled after chrostian monks of yore, wherein celibacy was part of your devotion

>2. Marines reproducing could lead to a super-mutant like situation, where the superior gene-species tries to exterminate the imferiir humans. Big E wants humanity to ascend his level, and his mutated super warriors are infact a corruption of the perfect human form and entirely incapable of evolving. (This is also why there aren't female marines; human wombs likely can not bear marine children, whule a marine's cpuld become the crucible for humanities destruction)((REMEMBER TBE THUNDER WARRIORS?1?))

>3. The astartes making process probably just leaves the marine sterile, either as a side effect or intentionally to control behavior and/or eliminate a weakness.

>4. Same reason Slaanesh lost their job to a rat.

>Notice how much of Catholicism he appropriated?

You mean none?

To keep the eldar a dying race

Space Marines would just have normal human babies, if they even could reproduce. The worry there is that they'd favor those children for Space Marine selection over others and either lose their children in greater and greater numbers as the centuries wore on, making them easy prey to the powers of chaos. Or simply doom the Space Marine Project altogether. They were created as weapons to be used for a limited time until the real end-goal could be enacted. They were not made to form their own little pockets of humanity nor to be *that* vulnerable to secession and/or chaos.

Well shit, then Guilliman is working around the clock to undo his dad's plan.

In order to remove most of the human behaviors that could get in the way of them doing what they must do, as pointed out here They are meant to be tools after all, with only enough of human in them to not make them mindless automatons.

His dad was quite incompetent at handling his ludicrous amount of power

Because he didn't want to create a race of novus-homo who risked eradicating the previous homo-sapien race they were protecting. They are living weapons, not a species.Jesus with how much trouble they already have with space marines getting bitter about being living weapons serving an inferior race of man now let them reproduce and you've got a walking 1488 situation.

I laughed. Thanks user. Have a (you).

Pretty sure the Space Wolves arent if Bjorn, Lukas, Ragnar and Russ himself are anything to go by.

In several books people fuck

I can't breed and i still have sex.

It is possible that they have a gene-seed defect and a memetic indoctrination "particularity" that allows them to retain some sort of sexual capacity. Was it ever pointed out if they are capable of producing normal offspring? Or are they capable of sex but unable to reproduce?

It is possible that the Salamanders also have this kind of defect which could be one of the reasons why they feel closer to their human population, they share some of the basic instincts that baseline humans have. In the case of Salamanders it is mere speculation.

Read Fulgrim.
Altough it states that, at least the Emperor's Children, are incapable of having sex, the rest of the human crew of their fleet was very capable of it and so were the Xenos.
It's not a main thing, we're not talking 50 Shades of Grey here, but they don't avoid the subject either.
And since we're talking Fulgrim and with him comes Slaanesh, you will find gore filled orgies, rape and even a hint of scat in the book.
For real.
It's quite disturbing to see the how Primarch, Astartes and humans spiral into madness as Slaanesh keeps corrupting them and like most of the Horus Heresy books, it's quite disheartening to see how the bigger tragedy could been avoided but everything always goes wrong.

The same reason why certain cultures trusted eunuchs in positions of power
Less likely to betray a dynasty to form your own if you literally can't
Marines can and do betray the emps, but certainly not for traditional bloodline reasons

chaos marines are a problem already and you want a sign on them saying "Slaanesh goes here"?

He didn't want to allow the possibility that they could replace humanity. Hell, he probably was planning to take them out back and shoot them once the Great Crusade was over, like he did with the Thunder Warriors.

Astartes were never meant to replace humanity.

>why didnt the emperor create 7 foot 400 pound rape machines?
