All official sources say Asari have vagina... or at least, the blue equivalent...

[jeweledleah]

according to Liara, physical content is possible but not necessary for mating, as asari reproduce through melding of nervous systems and then by assimilating the genetic history of both donor and themselves, creating a new blended dna, that's nonetheless is still fully asari. ME1 lovescene is not a good indicator, as its basically the same for ALL characters (there's a minor additional cutscene with Liara, but the final parts are identical) - something I believe is due to it being cheaper to animate one scene instead of 3.

Asari have something i na lower regions of their bodies called Azure.  we don't know exactly what that is though and exactly where in a lower region of the body its located, we can only assume.

I'm wondering about their mammary glands though. based on Asari we have seen so far, the older asari are, the bigger their breasts get O_O

Eezo nodes.

ok, now i'm having visions of breats as biotic batteries, which makes a sort of weird sense, since they also get more powerful with age.

Asari have breasts and wide hips and standard humanoid sex organs. We have to assume they bear live young and nurse them.

This is the strangest part..Given that they reproduce in a different way altogehter, why the f*** did they evolve standard sex organs?

Oh yeah...to be fanservice so humans could have sex with them...

I don't think Liara having babies in ME 3 will happen. She's "only" 108 years old, making her "little more than a child" in asari terms. And as explained earlier with the whole Maiden, Matron and Matriarch life stages.

However, after you beat Lair of the Shadow Broker and invite Liara to your ship, if you have her romanced and choose the "Happily ever after" dialog option, Shepard jokes about eventually settling down, marrying, and having "lots of little blue children."

So probably if you stay faithful to Liara and (if ME 3 allows you to) beat the game with Liara and Shepard both living, there will probably be a epilogue scene were Shepard and Liara live happily ever after with their children.

Well yeah, its space opera fantasy. If you want a Star Trek explanation, a precursor race seeded planets with their DNA, resulting in the rise of numerous species that resembled them.

But basically, Asari are space dryads.

[Severyx]

Asari obviously don't have intercourse, the 'sex organs' are simply for reproductive purposes. Yes, they birth live young, and yes they nurse them.



Sidenote to people talking about Shep/Liara offspring: I do believe I read/heard somewhere that maiden stage asari cannot bear children. (If anyone has any concrete evidence counter to this, please say so) It'd be like trying to get a nine year old to have a baby, it just doesn't happen. Liara is only barely over a hundred years old, and it typically takes an asari at least two hundred and fifty years (give or take about 50 years depending on meld frequency) to reach matron stage when they have kids. That said, don't expect any form of little blue Shepkids.

[Whatever42]

I never recalling reading that maiden asari cannot have children. They are adults. They move out of their parent's home at 60 (see asari/salarian discussion on illium). I would regard that as 18ish.



Liara has advanced degrees. She has left home, completed university and began a carerer. It sounds like most Asari spend a couple centuries finding themselves (by stripping and shooting people) before settling down but Liara skipped right to it.



You also think she wouldn't correct Shepard when he goes on about blue babies? She's never exactly had a problem speaking her mind and she's certainly not timid anymore.

1) You need a vagina or something similar to give birth
2) The breasts are obviously there so asari can breastfeed
3) No canonical source has stated these organs are erogenous per se, so no problem there
4) Asari can be expected to receive intimate pleasure in other ways, since there is a "gentle melding of nervous systems"
5) In any case, the existence of courtship behavior and the implied sexual pleasure derived from mating can be explained by evolution, as having a sex drive will more likely result in intimate relationships that produce offspring

To quote the Mass Effect Wiki:

"However, it should be noted that, each stage can be started whenever an
asari feels that she has reached the correct level of maturity."

Liara does also say that while she's "only 106 years old" she's physically an adult, indicating that the three stages are more psychological stages that have physiological side-effects.

Little blue kids wouldn't be that far of a stretch, since I'd think - after all Liara has gone through - that she'd want to settle down. Ya know, after defeating life-destroying aliens, seeing her lover die and come back, witnessing her mother's death first-hand, knowing one of her closest allies got tortured for years, and eventually becoming that which she was hunting.

Yeah, that's a few centuries' worth of living pushed into a few years.

When thinking about it, everything she's been through, it makes sense. We'll see how it turns out

[M8DMAN]

I remember a thread that was on here not to long ago that was discussing whether or not Asari's have Vagina's.



What a fun thread that turned out to be.

Well, since they have breasts, it's most likely they give birth like mammals, as well.

[Daryst]

All these assumptions going on about asari having vagina's and give birth like mammels. I dont know about you, but birth for a cow is not the same as birth for a human. Sure the basics are the same, but its foolish to "assume" everything is the same. This also applies when it comes to Humans and Asari. If you can come up with a plausible "theory" then thats awhole other story.

And as Scimal wrote. Asari can mature to an older stage if they feel the time is right. Given the fact to what has happened to Liara and how she is acting up, she looks feel alot older then she is. Its not that uncommen for children to grow up quicker then the rest. It could be that these mature emotion triggers somekind of hormoneal equivilant that allows the Asari to start the maiden stage sooner then others?

Just speculating here, but thats just my two cents on the board

Bulbous growths on the chest do not mean they are necessarily breasts. Could simply be one of the many ornamental traits that develop in nature, or for some completely different reason. They could literally be "fun bags".

[Mystranna Kelteel]

These games aren't about the science fiction or lore.



Asari and quarians have breasts and vaginas so Shepard can have sex with them.



And I'm sure Garrus also has a penis, despite the fact that he's a giant insect-bird.



We could argue all day about what science could or should be applied to them, but I think it's obvious that the devs just made them as humanized as possible to facilitate their story-telling and allow the players to identify with them more.

[Locutus_of_BORG]

dam, and I was hoping asari reproduced using fission... like Benezia's big toe fell off one day and became Liara (B. grew a new toe afterwards of course.)

Yes, it is obvious. If the game were truly "alien" then we wouldn't want to play it.

However, that doesn't mean it can't be given unexpected depth. Much of the ME universe has solid scientific footing, and probably a good boot of research to go with it (considering the Organic Chemistry, Physics, and Biology jokes strung throughout the series).

Debating Asari reproduction is only meant as a thought experiment, since we can't go ask one in reality. The debate filters interesting ideas from those which make little logical sense, and in the end the reward for the debate is a fictional being that is "created" to survive in reality that is similar to us yet distinctly different. In essence, by debating, we are making the Asari interesting, because it's incredibly boring to have the Asar be "blue humans" with tentacles for hair.

We're simply increasing the depth of pleasure we get out of the game.

So, while we all know the Asari have breasts and a female appearance to fulfill a juvenile fantasy of every single male Sci-Fi fan out there who watched Star Trek (myself included) - we debate whether or not Asari have breasts that function as breasts because it's fun to.

[shoggoth1890]

This sounds true. Mordin Solus even gives "sexual advices" if you have a romance intrest in one of your crew, even when it comes to Thane, Garrus and Tali.
