Well, can anyone actually confirm this by finding the book/pages?
Not point argueing if it's not really there.

Said book does not exist, because it simply isn't valid lore. I'm not sure where Rensin got it from (some fanfic or something?), but Gnomes did not 'evolve in such a way that they can't have sex'. Like Dwarves and Humans, they too are the result of the Curse of Flesh, which was supposed to make Azeroth easier to assimilate.
Nothing in lore has ever suggested that they grow their children in test-tubes.
For D20:
Alliance & Horde Compendium, Alliance Player's Guide, Lands of Conflict, Manual of Monsters, Horde Player's Guide, Manual of Monsters, Magic & Mayhem, Shadows & Light, Dark Factions, More Magic and Mayhem nor the core books make any mention of it.
For Novels:
Of Blood and Honor, Day of the Dragon, Lord of the Clans, Last Guardian, War of the Ancients trilogy, Cycle of Hatred, Rise of the Horde, Tides of Darkness, Beyond the Dark Portal, Night of the Dragon, Arthas nor Stormrage actually even include Gnomes, so this odd fact can't have come from those either.
This only leaves the comics. And I really doubt it is in any of those either, as there isn't a -single- mention of it anywhere on wowwiki. So I'm going to have to think that you read it in a fanfic somewhere and got your sources mixed up.
And while we're on that subject, Deathknights and Undead could have sex, they just can't actually reproduce.

Hmm.
Well I'll go ahead and look around for where I found that. But honestly, I don't care for the way you worded that.
Edit: I also, HIGHLY doubt you've read every single thing in the ammount of time this thread was made, or have retained the knowledge for something so minimal.
Edit 2: And if you want to claim that a dead penis can become erect, be my guest.

Can't have sex if you lack the ability to have blood flow to the penis, dude.

*Points to his edit*
I could get really technical with it, too. There is a bunch of biological shit that doesn't happen when you are dead.

Rensin is very very much correct about the inability of Undead to have sex. Don't make me dig out my textbook and get into the scientific details.

Rensin didn't say can't, Rensin said it would be akward.

Of course, the orgasm reflex isn't one of them. Then again, you need to be a special kind of corpse for that to work, I don't think Forsaken qualify...
I feel dirty now.
Have you hugged an orc today?

If there was something there on testtube babies, I'd have remembered it. 
And an erection isn't required to have sex. Oral, etc.

Really, really unsure why you're debating that. We don't want it around. :|

Then, here's the point. There is nothing to gain from it.
Like others have said, there'd be no feeling, especially if there couldn't be an erection. Procreation is impossible.
Plus, oral sex isn't sex. It's -Oral- sex.
Anyhow, could someone lock this? It's getting way too adult, and I really didn't feel like going into such major detail, because honestly I didn't expect people to argue the logic of dead people having sex. :\
