This topic is one people are always going to differ on, because it depends on your opinion of real life, human-human relationships. You may notice that most people choose to be with someone of their relative physical attractiveness. However, you may also notice a very physically attractive person with a not-so-physically-attractive person (this is all subjective, btw; I'm basing this on majority opinion).

That is because some people are attracted primarily to other things besides looks. Maybe they are attracted to them because they are funny and down to earth. Maybe it's money, power, or fame. Maybe it's that they have a kind and generous heart. To some people (I'd count myself as one of them), the fact that they are sweet and loving, or brave and protective, or have a super-sexy voice, may outweigh that they have six fingers and toes or a head fringe. It's probably not what the majority of people think, but that doesn't make it wrong.

If I said I wouldn't totally hook up with a Turian, Quarian, Salarian, or Asari, I'd be lying.

As for my own opinions, I love Tali because I think she is the closest to what I see as a real person. She is tough, intelligent, opinionated, sensitive, supportive, funny, and caring. If I met a girl with Tali's personality IRL, I'd totally be in love. There are also physical aspects of Tali I find attractive as well (we all know what they are) and Liz/Ash Sroka does THE sexiest voice ever.

Liara of course looks mostly human besides the blue skin and head tentacles, and she is obviously physically attractive. Ali Hillis also does a very sexy voice, which is definitely a plus (I'm a voice man, what can I say?) I don't think Liara has the sweetheart thing going as much as Tali, but I think her intelligence, determination, and protectiveness of Shepard are attractive. So yes, definitely do-able.

Garrus would be the other fan favorite alien romance, and being a straight guy I'm not personally attracted to him. However, I've talked to many girls (and a few guys) who are, and I can see why they are (voice again). I couldn't say what I'd think about Turian females (or a lot of females for that matter) because they aren't in the game, but if they had a Tali personality, I'd consider it.

Exactly. The more attracted you are to someone's personality, the more attractive they become to you physically. You start to love everything about them, including the weird bits. For example, Garrus may look scary as hell at first, but his personality makes that all completely null. I also married an Argonian in Skyrim because I found them to be way more interesting than the meat-bag Nords, or the stick-up-the-ass Altmer (my own species). That's one of the reasons I liked Kelly so much in ME2 - she states that love comes in many forms, and is open about it.

I mean, if they're of at least equal intelligence to us, can communicate fluently, and are relatable, there's no reason to discriminate against them. They're people, too, just of a different species. Bestiality is something else entirely.

I find this particularly funny. In ME1 i was like "ewwww asaris are disgusting im romancing the hell out of Ashley" forgoing how sweet Liara seemed.

In ME2 i romanced Miranda due to dat ass and that i kinda hated jack. Plus i never really liked Tali until i kept replaying the game and discovered that she was as sweet as Liara was in ME1, but still eww those feet.

Now in ME3 i went full on Liara to the point that i now love asari. I think it has something to do with her character model looking incredibly more attractive than in previous games and the fact that you get to know her on a more personal level and have a lot of deep moments with her. I mean i find her to be too damn sexy in ME3, couple that with me loving her personality since ME1 with Ashley being soo boring and ****y since ME2. After my first playthrough i tried to romance ash and tali but no i keep coming home to that blue sweetheart.

Yes ME3 has made me very xenosexual lol. I would probably fack Liara in person. Was i the only one who found the biotic aura during the sex scene to be a huge turn on? Could yo imagine the power, the torque, the force while having sex with an Asari with those biotics. Godamn!!

Well I can see where people are coming up with the bestiality idea, because of WHY you may want to have human-xeno relationships.  These people are thinking that others would like to have relationships with aliens BECAUSE they have reverse-joint legs or mandibles and are turned on by that.  On the contrary, I think most of the people that are attracted to Garrus or Tali are attracted to what is human about them, not what is alien.  I can see where the confusion is coming from though, because a lot of people consider physical norms or attractiveness to be the primary object of their attraction.

 Ever since I've played the game I've realized if Turians magically appeared on Earth I would not have a problem with dating or hooking up with one. Garrus just made them so alluring...

Any of you guys have similar things? Love dem aliens?

Call me old fashioned but I'd choose a blonde or black haired dutch woman about the age of 16 or 23 (I'm 18 myself) anytime. But an alien girl. My answer is no.<_<

I'd certainly date one too if she had a good personality.  That's what matters most to me though.  I'll date any woman of any race, tall or short, thin or voluptuous, 18 to 40 years of age.  Who she is as a person is the most important, and there are very many physically-attractive women in all of these categories too. I guess that's what makes me open to the idea of aliens, lol.

Well, there might be people out there who ARE primarily attracted to mandibles or whatever... That's totally their business. But yeah, just because you have an LI that has scales or bird legs doesn't mean that's what the attraction in the relationship is all about. I actually had a boyfriend a few years ago who happened to have a crippled leg from a childhood injury. The fact that he had a limp was the last thing that mattered in our relationship, but people were still like, "Ew, you're into that?" *rolls eyes*  

It's actually surprising to me how many people here base their interest off of physical appearance alone. I can't do that... I guess I'm just weird like that.

Wow, if someone said that about my signficant other, I'd punch them in the face.  And no, you aren't weird: there are at least a few other people out there like you who put personality on their top attractive points (raises hand).  To me it's everything.  Looks mean absolutely nothing to me if someone has a bad personality.  Even if they are physically smokin', I literally CAN'T be attracted to them if they are unintelligent, rude, selfish, self-absorbed, or judgmental (and yes people, not even for "just one night of fun").

I do understand you have to be attracted to SOMETHING physical about them, and alien physiology may not do it for you.  I mean if you met a guy with an awesome personality, you will wouldn't want to do him because he's a guy (I'm assuming you are a straight male by your previous comment).  I won't lie: I don't think I'd be as attracted to Tali if she looked like Jacob Taylor with a helmet, lol. You still need to have something feminine to gravitate towards.  I really like voices, and both Tali and Liara have very alluring ones.  Plus besides the hands and feet, Tali has a very womanly figure. However, I think what is truly important is is the personality, as for me it also affects how I perceive them physically.

Disgarding the whole premise that alien sexual organs could very well be in anatomically respective places for sex to even be completely  impossible, let alone enjoyable (or even survivable... given the dextro-based biology of both Turians and Quarians, their... juices... for lack of a better word... may dissolve human tissue after rigorous rubbing...), I suppose nothing is outside the realm of possibility. People commit beastility and, even though that is a crime, I suppose it has more to do with animal cruelty than anything else. If you had a consenting member of another species, I don't know why it wouldn't be something that happened... barring the above logistical and biological considerations, of course.

You need to remember that humans have all sorts of benign bacteria and other organic mechanisms to fight off infection. If other aliens have the same, you might literally die from some alien bacteria located in Tali's nether-regions.

Again, I think most people are primarily attracted to the aliens' personalities and are not looking at it from a desire perspective, where they want to have sex with aliens because of their weird or different biology.  Plus, even though Tali and Garrus are obviously not human, they still have physical aspects that some find attractive by human analogue.  I've heard many females say that they like Garrus' broad chest and shoulders, and Tali obviously has feminine breasts and hips.  I mean even if you're not specifically attracted to alien anatomy, it falls into the "works well enough" category.

To indulge your biological curiosity: dextro and levo DNA species' microorganisms would, on a base level, be benign to each other.  Viruses attack DNA or RNA, and since these are incompatible across DNA types, they would be completely ineffective.  Bacteria and parasites survive by feeding off a host, but they too need to consume specific amino acids.  A bacterium that eats levo-amino acids to build it's DNA and proteins couldn't survive inside a dextro DNA organism, because there would be no food.

The danger, as the games explain, comes primarily in the form of acute allergic reaction.  Your body may incite inflammation around foreign tissue simply because it is foreign, even if it in itself is benign: see pollen allergies, for instance.  This is the primary way in which Quarians get sick, and in which humans or Turians could possibly get sick.  It is not the foreign matter that is causing harm, but your body actually harming itself through an overreaction in its own immune system.

Technically it’d still be xeno-curious since there aren’t any xenos around…

[Noelemahc]

I've heard many females say that they like Garrus' broad chest and shoulders, and Tali obviously has feminine breasts and hips.

My theory is that Tali's hips were the main reason people petitioned to have her romanceable. That and the cute accent. Because holy crap everybody overlooks the fact that if she's that thin-looking in a hardspace-worthy envirosuit, she herself is probably thin as a stick in there. And deathly pale. And call me whatever you like, I wanted to tap that since ME1 regardless.

Of course, the OP somehow implies the reader/replier wasn't xenosexual prior to ME =)

I'm sure some Thanemancers are in it exclusively for the hallucinogenic properties.

Point of order, light space suits are only a few millimeters thick, hardsuits obviously more.

Licking Thane is like licking one of those poisonous frogs?

I personally am attracted to Tali's personality more than anything, voice second, but yes: the hips cannot be denied.  I don't think she's that thin compared to any of the other females in ME 3 (unless like you said, the suit is actually really thick).  I'm also taking the fantasy approach and ignoring what condition someone's body is probably in having been working, fighting, and going to the bathroom in a rubber suit for a REALLY long time without a bath, lol.

I'm sure, but even then, the MEverse doesn't have magical compounds. It's not entirely believable that that thickness is what the Quarians have. They go into battle in those suits, for Saren's sake! And that automagical sealant they use to cut off exposed areas has to fit in somewhere, too. Among other things.

According to Mordin, yes.

Ditto, but my example was tailored to your mention of physical attraction to the alien cast members =) At about one year into my current relationship (which is still going, thankfully, despite her mistrust of my fascination with Mass Effect) I've realized I'm dating a human Tali. Anatomy excluded, of course, although the hip proportions are about the same, I think.
