to quote from the gene seed article, progenoid glands section:

"These germ cells grow and are stored in the Progenoid organs, much like sperm cells or egg cells are stored in the testes and ovaries of normal men and women. When properly cultured by the Apothecaries of a Space Marine Chapter, these germ cells can be gestated into each of the 19 gene-seed organs needed to create a new Space Marine. Thus, for most Astartes, their Progenoid Glands represent the only form of reproduction they will ever know, though the DNA passed on will be that of their Primarch, not their own."

GW uk website "e whole purpose of the progenoid organ is to provide gene-seed to enable the Chapter to continue. It is not possible to create a zygote in any other way"  from http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/4427.page

if we move to http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?21305-Can-Space-Marines-have-sex Space Marines don't come with the Chem Geld talent so a temptation for nooky could still work. One the other hand it takes them a while to get their armor on and off so for this to be an issue the seducer would have to have some kind of tech use and armorer skills and probably some familiarity with astartes armor to be effective. It's also worth noting, in the current fluff, space marines are grabbed just before girls become neat and thrust into an all male society devoted to killing things. Most likely, they'd be into dudes and that makes some people oogy. I'd use that to shut it down if you don't want to deal with it. I think there was supposed to be a mention in one of Ragnar's books that he still likes the ladies, but it was a divergence supposedly unique to the Space Wolves.We also have to consider that Sex Drive and reaction is based on hormones, how the gene therapy influences that is anybody's guess.

The first part about Psycho indoctionation is also true, that is how marines learn to operate their wargear, their role in the imperium and so on.. basiccally you take a healthy hardy male, ram gene seed organs into him, put him through hypno induction, training, point him at a target and let him loose and then for the emprah he will think about war and only war (and his wargear) and the Imperium!

Sidenote: I find in existence that is only aimed at ending up torn apart,, rent limb from limb, shot, cooked off or however violently you wanna go into it, not really somehting desireable.
