    I’m finally reading The Expanse books and in the opening pages of the first book there’s a joke about how a freshly implanted prosthetic arm doesn’t quite feel like yours until you get used to it, and in that interim you can jerk off and it will feel like a hand job. And the book goes from there.

    FWIW, those are Stormtroopers, not Clone Troopers. Stormtroopers were mostly volunteers. Clones were booted out of the service.

    Because of all of the orgies

    Edit: oops, they are clone troopers

      These look like Gen 2 clone troopers right? The eyes are still connected, whereas stormtroopers have individual eyes. But they’re not Gen 1 since they don’t have the long crest on their helmets. Also, it looks like they’re in imperial style architecture, so that’s confusing.

    Sooooo, you’ve stroked the junk of two hundred thousand men with a million more on the way?!

    Wow, that’s gay.

    One of the clones is trans right - “Sister” in a newer book?

    Have any of the books gone into the sex lives of the clones? You’d think that the way that they are raised and trained would set up a “Sacred Band of Thebes” kind of thing naturally.

    There’s a deserter in Clone Wars that has kids and a family iirc, so they can fuck. Jango reads as bisexual to me, so maybe all the clones are inclined to be bisexual.

      Iirc, it was common for the Kaminoans to remove sexual drives from the species they cloned, but it was specifically stated that doing so in humans made them terrible soldiers. So yeah, they fuck

        Geonosians didn’t make the clones, the Kamino did. Geonosians are the bug-like species that the empire xenocided after the war, once they stopped needing the labor to produce droids.
