**Grey Templar**

in the Ultramarine omnibus, Uriel is the descendent of one of the 1st company who died during the Battle for Maccragge.

it implies that his ancestor was either chosen AFTER he got married/hooked up(unlikely since recruits are chosen at age 12 in Ultramar) OR he had the kid during training.

possably, Initiates would have sex. they arn't fully Astartes yet.

I'm pretty sure that was his uncle or something...

So, if I gather the last few points that have been raised:

SM probably have (most) of their sexual desire removed during their training. Probably during their indoctrination.

BUT,

this inhibition can be removed. Either by living with normal women on a regular basis (which would probably bring sexual desires back sooner or later) such as the salamanders or the SW, or by an allegiance to the Dark Gods, which destroys the mental indoctrination of the marine, and thus the sexual inhibition.

Because we all want to know what a SM does in his spare time.

Clean his Bolter, pray to the Emperor - a Space Marine never has time for procreation according to the daily ritual

0400 Morning Prayer
0500 Morning Firing Rites
0700 Battle Practice
1200 Midday Prayer
1300 Midday Meal - Dudes gotta eat - no time for a quickie here
1315 Tactical Indoctrination
1500 Battle Practice
2000 Evening prayer
2100 Evening Meal -
Chapter Masters may even permit the brethren to partake of alcoholic beverages at this time if the day's activities have been expertly done.
Dude needs a beer - no time for a quickie here either
2130 Night Fighting Exercises - This could be the only chance dude has
2315 Maintenance Rituals
2345 Free Time
"Consider (the) magnitude of your duty at your leisure, but act without hesitation when (action) is required." In honour of this Space Marines are permitted a short period of leisure each day to consider the magnitude of their duty to the Emperor.
So more prayer then
0000 Rest Period Begins - Not here because
Extended interference with the circadian rhythms of sleep has been shown to impair efficiency and induce personality disorders. To prevent this Space Marines enter a dreamless fugue state for four hours per day when not on campaign.
