Gene Wolfe question

I have a couple of questions about There Are Doors by Gene Wolfe, behind a cut due to a plot spoiler...
I don't own a copy and don't feel the desire to read it again but nonetheless the following has been bugging me slightly...

OK... in the other world men die after having sex (or something).
Can anyone remember
a) if this is any sex or special 'I want you to have a baby' sex?
b) if it is explained how women can have more than one child?
