Vorlon sex? What kind of perverse fetish is this?

Actually, it's a somewhat serious and thoughtful piece.

We all know that the Vorlons are beings of Light. They have evolved beyond their physical bodies... meaning no sex. Now, EARTH: Final Conflict's Taelons are beings in transition. Their bodies are roughly 90% energy. They have evolved beyond sex. Yet, by doing this, they have unwillingly given up a very important element of their race. They can no longer procreate. There can be no more Taelons. There can be no children. There can be no future generations.

Could this be true of the Vorlons, as well? Have they given up on children? It was stated when Kosh was killed that it had been a long time since a Vorlon had died. Yes, they are practically immortal, but when one dies, is there no one to take his place?

Then, there's the nature of their evolution. 'River of Souls' portrayed it as if, all at once, a species goes to bed and in the morning they're being of pure Light. This cannot be. It has to be a gradual change. One by one, evolved members of a race move closer to this perfection. AN ENTIRE SPECIES DOES NOT JUST GET UP AND TURN INTO LIGHT.

So, what do you think. Can Vorlons have sex? Can Vorlons procreate?
