I wouldn't have thought that they would do. IMG, they hang about defending the stead (including its non-weaponthane blokes) and travel in exactly the same warbands as everyone else. They're no more likely to be among women than Ernaldans, and probably less so.

I figure that, being of Dara Happan origin, when they say 'celibate' they bloody well mean it. Sure, Heortling and Praxian blokes may assume that, because they're not shagging *them* they must be doing it with each other, but I that's not true IMG.

Erantha Gor, or whatever the heck her name is these days, is both anti-male and anti-fertility, so I can see them being an outlet for lesbianism. Heler too, of course.

Again, DH background. When they say 'no shagging', they mean it.
The Gor types are mythically infertile. They'd be opposed to having sex because it's a procreative act. If it doesn't resemble the procreative act, it may be OK. Yelmalio and Yelorna, being DH in origin, are opposed to sex, IMO, because it's just too enjoyable! It mires you in the earth, and all that squelchy, yucky stuff. So they'd be just as much against oral sex and homosexuality as any other sort.
YGWV... if that's not conciliatory to mention here :p
Damn... am I even allowed to say 'conciliatory', or does that make me sound too intellectual for this list? Hmm...
