I'd imagine such worlds have their fair share of cults though.

True, but what a lot of people don't realize is that slaanesh isn't the god of sex, s/he/it is the god of pleasure and excess. That doesn't just mean sex. People get this mixed up.

To put it this way, American style porn: perfectly legal, good morale boost for the troops, Japanese style porn: heresy!

**Grey Templar**

yeah, they basically have all the same things we do now.

Computer games(cogicator sims)

an Internet equivilant. each planet with this level of technology probably is seperated from other planets internets so the information on a planet by planet basis is strictly confined(and heavily regulated)

Telivision. heavy propaganda for sure. Soap operas, Dramas, Crime shows, educational TV, cartoons, News stories... everything we have now.

Restaraunt chains. In the Grimdarkness of the Far Future, McDonalds has over 9000 trillion served. Starbucks is, literally, Starbucks.

Imperial Worlds and Hive Worlds are pretty much just like ours in terms of entertainment options. Radio, television, bars and nightclubs, strip-clubs, dance-clubs, and so forth and so on. On some worlds, there may even be a carnivora or other blood-sport arena, or other, less-lethal sporting events for the populace to visit.

There's also outdoor activities, such as boating, swimming, skiing, fishing, hunting, camping and all that sort of thing, again depending on the world in question. Imperial worlds are more likely to have this as a diversion, as they're less densely-populated, and less toxically-polluted, as Hive Worlds.

Yeah but music is illegal and considered unholy if not about the emperor.

**Grey Templar**

nah, they will have music about everyday life.

Topping the Imperium's charts... Michael Boltgun, and his hit single, "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You (My Emperor)?"

I imagine every world, bar Shrine Worlds, with have something equivalent to a brothel or strip club.What exactly do you think the Guard is fighting for?

Not only that, but brothels are common enough that Commissar Cain felt no overriding need to worry about them, other than knowing where they were so he could pick up Guardsmen who were in trouble. I'm not too sure where the "Slaanesh is the god of excess=sex for pleasure is frowned upon" came from in the community.

I think you're forgetting what kind of community this is.

There are a fair few married, engaged, paired up folk here on Dakka. But a greater portion still is that of the unwashed teen masses.
