Feb 23, 2017 at 17:56 comment added Carcer @Steve-O: you're thinking of the Space Marine's recommended schedule as dictated by the Codex Astartes which is held to by the Ultramarines and many (possibly a majority) of other SM chapters but is by no means a universal truth. Most of the other significant chapters are not Codex-compliant in many ways. The Space Wolves for instance are known for throwing great feasts and such in the manner of stereotypical norsemen rather than cloistered monks. It's also not necessarily a given that the multitude of serfs who support SM chapters will be male.

Feb 23, 2017 at 16:27 comment added Steve-O Could they father a child? Maybe. I'm not aware of any castration process in the change from human to Space Marine. That said, they are warrior monks so I don't know that they would father a child. I recall a bit of fluff in one of the books (from 3rd ed?) that detailed the average Space Marine's schedule when he wasn't out on a mission. IIRC, between the praying and the training they had all of about one hour of "personal time" - and no nearby women to speak of.
