I just love trying to come up with something so incredibly not human about all the aliens in Mass Effect. It makes those who choose to romance an alien somewhat uncomfortable.
Kissing an asari is like coating your mouth with syrup, their saliva is that thick. Most humans don't mind because it tastes like maple syrup, too.
Asari have the ability to turn their head near 180 degrees. (Witness Hermia on Illium.) If you call to an asari whose back is turned to you, they can turn their head to look at you without turning the rest of their body.
Asari breasts are like sponges or memory foam. You press your hand against it, it leaves an impression for several moments.
Oh, dear, the male syrup saliva one is a bit weird. Think of the export potential to sexual deviants all over the galaxy. Factories of Asari spitting in to jugs.
Do not want. Your idea is creative, though.
I like the head-on-a-swivel idea. It fits in well the fact that they probably don't have directional hearing as they lack an external ear portion. They could be very sensitive to sounds of all intensity, but they need to swivel their heads to determine the location of the sound with both their ears and their eyes. Now that I think of it, Samara has those big eyes. It would be weird and strangely fitting for a woman as wise as her to swivel her head like an owl to look at Shepard.
Memory foam breasts would make for interesting (bedroom) antics.
In the past, I've come up with:
*Tickling an Asari can cause involuntary flare-ups of her biotic powers
*When an Asari sneezes, she has the chance to produce a random learned biotic effect
*One month after birth, Asari infants display powerful biotic ability, and are known to float away from their cribs. To combat this, an Asari mother and her mate design and weave a very fine net that is fastened over the top of the crib. Some nets are as old as the practice itself.
