I think it very appropriate that a possible geas be "never have children" or "never engage in coitus." However, I think automatic infertility upon inititation is too extreme.
Perhaps the source of the Humakti "Beserker" spell is such a geas? Maybe that's the attendant gift too: a re-usable Beserker spell. This, of course, avoids the question "Should the Humakti Beserker spell really be redefined as 'Death Song'?", which came up on the Digest several years ago.
I think it far more appropriate that infertility be a side-effect of some special Humakt heroquest. Or, perhaps some GMs might introduce the idea of gifts & geasa of increasing severity; only Swords could take them.
