That sounds right to me.

I'm not sure I'd describe it as just a formality, because the legal and social ramifications are not insignificant, but I'd broadly agree with the above. Certainly they can have nooky, go see their mum, and so on. Not that all them do, mind you - the lone sociopath is not a wholly innaccurate description of certain Humakti, even though they aren't the norm. Being able to include both sorts within the cult is good for gaming, after all.
