Sakura should be able to form a contract since it's basics of basics for a magus. But without contract, only sperm carries prana.

Either it's because Rin is superior magi and Sakura a shit one in terms of actual ability, or they simply have sex because they are a couple.

"Should be able to"? Yeah, probably.

But, it's pretty clear from the HF True ending that that is not what she is doing, because contracts only need to be formed once, and it's made clear that they have to have regular sex so Sakura can dump prana into Shirou.

Well, I assume it is because Rin is a far better-trained magus, yes, but that doesn't change the basic fact that a contract lasts until you break it. She cannot be forming a contract because she has to keep doing it.

And, no, it's not just "they're a couple", it's made abundantly clear in the HF True ending that Sakura actually needs to have regular sex with Shirou in order to release her excess prana (and ensure he has enough of it).

I asked BL experts since I trust their judgement.

Except that Rin gives Shirou prana by forming a contract with him, which only requires her to have sex once. Sakura is clearly shown to need to have sex with Shirou on a regular basis in order to dump prana into him.

Hey Mike, I know it sounds impossible, but do you know what perfectly functioning couples participate in? Sex. You know what you sex gives you besides prana? It feels good.


So, no, it's not done the same way as Rin. Don't ask me why that is, or how it works, but Sakura definitely does not do the same thing Rin did.


"
Sakura's body still has after-effects from Angra Manyu.
Even with the contract broken, she's still a Holy Grail.
She was connected to Angra Manyu, so she's still connected with the other side.
Vast amounts of magical energy are collecting in Sakura's body, and she has to periodically let it out.

It's because of that magical energy that she can keep Rider, even after the Great Holy Grail's destruction.
But she still can't use it all, so she must be giving the surplus to Shirou.
Shirou's current body has a very weak Magic Circuit, so he would return to how he was before without her help."

There's literally nothing that says they aren't doing what Rin did, and even less that says that he needs poon frequently.

And perfectly functioning young couples often do it often.

Nope, Brah, Kat. I distinctly remember that it is said that she needs to have sex to give Shirou prana. It is also stated that they're "doing it too much", which implies that is definitely not the only reason they have sex, but it is a requirement nevertheless.

I'm at work now, so I can't check, but when I get home I'll look through the HF True ending to find the part that supports my point. Your quote does not prove me wrong, it simply isn't proof that I'm right.

I'm literally quoting the novel, I couldn't give less of a shit about what you do and do not remember.

Also stop being unproductive at your workplace.

You're quoting part of the novel. That doesn't mean that what I am saying is not mentioned elsewhere, so it does not in any way prove me wrong.

I would get fired if I browsed internet during work hours for any reason other than what the employer specifically expects me to do so.

We can take it to debate thread, but the general consensus is that employee in return for pay should devote his attention during work hours what your employer expects you to do since the contract is binding for both sides.

I'm now self-employed (accepting commissions from clients), but during one of internships if I just went on browsing internet instead of helping students under my care nobody would blink an eye about me getting fired because I obligated myself to do this.

Yeah, there's a reason you don't work for a Company with work ethics. Browsing Japanese porn game forums in your working hours. How disgusting.

I have flexible work hours due to being self hired, but once I get a commission, farewell to Cross Effects, farewell to BL, goodnight sweet Crusader Kings 2, I'm doing my job swift and efficiently because my client trusts me (I got even positive recommendations from my former employer. I worked for shale oil industry lobbyists and they even let me write a letter to American ambassador) even if it means I have to write stuff for 24 hours straight (my record).
