Well slanesh is a daemon, wich is pratically a reflect of some feeling on the warp that grew enogh. In this case, IT is the desire.
So, when a form is needed, slanesh will assume the most desired form in the vicinity. Male in a convent of sisters, female in the barracks of IG, blob with tentacles in the planet of tentacled blobs, a heavy pelt coat in the hills of a frost planet, or a meal in the city slums.
When talking about slanesh, only 2 things are sure: it will take the best form to solve your desires and it will do that in a amazingly way, whyle drinking in your soul.

My take on Demiurgs (enjoy the reading):

So pretty much Sarina Valentina with horns. I'm scared.
Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

Anyone else wanting to add?

I see Slaanesh as an androgynous god that represents excess in EVERYTHING. Not just sex, but violence, decadence, emotional highs, mental conditions, everything.
Of course, it ends up being represented as boobies.

And that is what then entire previous page was pretty much about.

Plus I believe he often gets called 'he' in the codex/army book. So...male
all though slaanesh is dubbed "prince", it is a demon uncomprehendable by an average mortals eyes. also, prince is merely another word for tyrant, which can be a term used for either gender.

I'm glad someone said it. None of the daemons really have a gender, they are given form by the imagination of their supplicants. I'm sure there are some aliens or isolated humans somewhere that have a matriarchy and view Khorne as a female.
That's disturbing: "Boobs for the Boob God!!"
lol

Instinctively I think of Slaanesh as a "he", I think because I read somewhere that his preferred form is an impossibly beautiful androdgynous male with shining blonde hair or something. So I guess like male Galadhrim elves in LOTR in black leather bondage gear
However, I know he's an it, so my image might change once that becomes lodged in my mind. Either way, (s)he rocks.

I guess. Still like Nurgle though.

I'm in the neither camp when I think about it. Slannesh is what the creature looking at it most desires it to be. Thats all part of the allure.
However, when the idea of slannesh first jumps into my brain my knee jerk reaction is that it is female, then the rest of my brain kicks in and it quickly becomes basic Slannesh once again.
See pics of my Orks, Tau, Emperor's Children, Necrons, Space Wolves, and Dark Eldar here:
I think of Slaanesh as male, and I even know why. In one of the Chaos Space Marine Codexes in years gone by, there was a picture of a male Space Marine - naturally missing his chestplate to show off his truly fabulous muscles - displayed under the Slaanesh fluff section. Because I was young, I naturally assumed this guy to be Slaanesh - much like I assumed the Chaos Marine Sorcerer under the Tzeentch section to be Tzeentch. I believe the section also described Slaanesh as, "The Prince of Excess."
