There are really 3 possibilities 1) they can't have sex (but then why seduce him - Maeve seemed strong enough to take Harry without needing the mantle defenses),
--- End quote ---
Because who Maeve is. Listen to Sarissa, she seduces people to let the mantle kill them. It probably turns her on. Of course she does not need to do it that way but she wants to do it that way.
--- Quote ---2) they can always have sex (but then why didn't she get pregnant with Slade and become Queen)
--- End quote ---
That would take away the sexual frustration and I think that is a mandatory aspect of the job, maybe even part of her power. Part of the balance anyway.
--- Quote ---or 3) Nemesis allows Maeve to have sex in addition to lying (but why not just get pregnant and destroy the mantle).
--- End quote ---
Doing that would have taken away much of Maeves motivation to get rid of Mab so I do not think Nemesis would do so even if it could.

Molly can not talk about her not being able to have sex. It is part of fairy mistique and so on. If Molly can not talk about it the winter knight mantle can not know about it because the knight should not know about it.
So the mantle telling Harry to take Maeve proves nothing.

Logically speaking this is not 100% true, given the transactional nature of the Fae and their restrictions regarding Debt. To them there is a vast difference between "she cannot Tell because Mortals are not meant to Know it, ever" and "She cannot Tell because she is does not have Clearance to simply Give Away that sort of very powerful Knowledge".

Sure but some things are clearly in the first category and Molly owes Harry enough to tell him some things in the second category if needed.

I would think that only a direct and specific question asked by someone that the mantle-bearer owes a debt to would allow that question to be answered.
