This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

V.C. Lancaster Ruth does not have to ask Gron. I headcannon it -or at least, the Gandry believe -that a Queen can choose to get pregnant or not. That is what Gron will assume Ruth is doing, choosing not to have a child by him. As for Grasta and her stud, she doesn't let him finish inside her, to be graphic. Studs generally perform sexual favours without necessarily getting anything in return. Grasta probably finishes him with her hand when she's done. That said, she does let him finish inside her every once in a while in order to have children by more than one male, but for whatever reason, it just hasn't taken yet.
