(Please be mature on this topic) 

Now we know that asari can reproduce with any species/gender combination, since reproduction is not necessarily sexual (with the melding of nervous systems). But romantically and emotionally, do you think all asari are inherently bisexual, or do you believe some lean towards a certain gender? 

Of course before asari had preflight space, they were all probably attracted to one another (even if it were platonic partnerships), so they would be inherently homosexual because they are all female and prefer their own species. But with the rise of asari frowning upon 'purebloods', or same-species pairing, would it be possible that some asari are heterosexual (such as those who seek out males of other species since there are no male asari) and that others, namely the purebloods as well as those who prefer females, are homosexual? Or do you think all or most of them are inherently bisexual?

Just thought it would be an interesting topic. (And I remind, please be mature and contribute to the discussion, don't be rude, sarcastic, or immature, thanks). : )

We don't have enough factual information on the asari species to answer these types of questions, and when discussions are based purely on opinions with little to no factually evidence, that's when threads devolve to forum members bashing other members. So yeah, its not possible to have a mature discussion on this topic.



I will echo what a poster from the other thread said, in that I believe most Asari have evolved to the point where they see who a person is on the inside not out, and they could care less what gender/species you are.

Oh boy. Here we go again.

based on the information provided to us in game via conversations, cameos etc - this.^^  they don't even seem to care if their partner is humaniod, let alone what gender they are.  sentience and compatability seem to be the only requirements

edited to add - it seems that asari that go for their own, do so becasue its familiar and comforting, not becasue they have any sort of sexual orientation. after all they are not partnering with the females of other species.  its seems to be more similar to people of similar backgrounds and cultures getting together.  now this is my personal opinion and I cannot prove that conclusively, but that's just how it seems to me.

I think that resumes Asari

http://en.wikipedia....ki/Pansexuality
Pansexuality (also referred to as omnisexuality)[1]
is a sexual orientation, characterized by the
potential for aesthetic attraction, romantic love, or sexual desire towards people without regard for
their gender identity or biological sex.[2]
Some pansexuals suggest that they are gender-blind;
that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining
whether they will be sexually attracted to others.[3]
As defined in the Oxford English Dictionary,[4]
pansexuality "encompasses all kinds of sexuality; not limited or
inhibited in sexual choice with regards to gender or practice."

Also there's already another thread on this subject

Isn't there a topic like this on the SAME THREAD PAGE????

EDIT: But to be honest, does it matter? All asari in the end, shall be forced to sleep with me lol!

I imagine it depends on the indiviadual on what their preferences are.

One could prefer krogan, another could prefer the female elcor form.

[Weiser_Cain]

Asari don't have a gender so their sexuality is better described as either within the species or without.

[AlexMBrennan]

Of course before asari had preflight space, they were all probably attracted to one another (even if it were platonic partnerships), so they would be inherently homosexual

It is indeed (vacuously) true that pre-spaceflight asari were exclusively attracted to females. Of course, it is equally true that pre-spaceflight asari were attracted to all males they encountered.



Simple example: If you toss a coin zero times then you got heads on every toss. However, you also got tails on every toss.



To conclude that asari were exclusively interested in females you do the following:

1) "Suppose not", i.e. assume H_0 that at least 5% (say) of the asari were attracted to males.

2) Look at the data on asari/male encounters and calculate the odds of getting that data if H_0 was true.

3) Conclude that H_0 is false if the odds are low enough.

4) Realize that there isn't any data you could use in step 2 (pre-spaceflight asari never met any males, cf zero coin tosses)

5) Stop



To clarify, the asari were clearly designed by BW as [series of tvtropes links]. However, no in-universe statistician would conclude that pre-spaceflight asari were exclusively attracted to females.

There's no reason to assume that asari are physically attracted to those who aren't other asari, and to a lesser extent female humans and quarians. Asari sex is mostly mental, so this doesn't matter a great deal because there's still a mental attraction; I feel, however, that they'd have more physical pleasure with someone who looked and operated more like them.

[samurai crusade]

This topic is stupid. It's a trivial matter. The sex of the "father" means less to a an Asari than the race. All an Asari is after is genetic differences that would benefit their daughters.

The real question is... how did the Asari function before FTL flight? Purebloods can't be that bad a thing if we asume they mated for generations like this... and Ardat Yakshi being extremely rare.

I would wager that it's a sociological thing. Asari live 1000 years or more... other races not so much. So they do not have to fear a long-lasting partnership with the exception of a Krogan (Illium sidequest). Similar to why Humans have a 9-month gestation... supposed to keep the father around. Evolution FAIL.

[AlexMBrennan]

Right, the asari fear that the father might survive long enough to pay for his daughter's tuition fees.

Well, given that there still could be a physical component to their melding, it just makes sense that way...

But logic and 'common sense' gets thrown out the window when people fight tooth and nail against an all-female lovin' species.

OH NOES, TEH GHEY!!!

I wonder if Asari go to college at a different time than humans. I know that, personally, my retention rate for half of my classes is... a week after the final. 200 years later, I'd need to look at the diploma just to remember which school I went to.

I don't know why, but this reminded me of a hilarious post on the old ME2 forum on BioBoards about Liara mysteriously becoming pregnant (this was long before squad announcements) and Shepard later figuring out that it was the fish that she melded with.

[AlexMBrennan]

Edit: Deleted. There's not point in arguing further.

In any case, I can't see how the meta argument is any different from this gem:

This triangle looks isosceles. Therefore, it is isosceles

Aren't Asari xenosexual (or whatever it was again).

Meaning they arent female or male (though if a mutation made an asari male in appearence then il just stare blankly at the game till my eyes explode).

I guess if we discovered an alien (but still humanoid) species that had three genders (male-like, female-like, and some odd combo of those two) and 9 or so resultant combinations of sexualities this would render our own null and void....most people would no longer be 'straight' and the years and years of straight sex would be undermined as we would all have to be totally attracted to all three of these alien genders.

I hope this happens...
