"<strong>We've never had men in our society. We Asari are able to successfully mate with any species. But yes, we do have sex like most humanoids. The way we have children is through our own genes, though we randomize one set through a technique called 'melding' which new Asari have not been able to do properly, thereby not impregnating themselves. Melding is a tender experience. The two nervous systems meld into one. Thoughts, emotions, memories, everything is shared with the partner. That's why we Asari don't meld with anyone, just because we can. Though many Asari do have sex with many partners as they cannot get pregnant from it unless they want it. Effective humanoid birth control.</strong>" Aria was half just replying, half actually into the conversation. She enjoyed talking about different species. The Asari reached for another chocolate, placing it on her tongue to let it melt in her mouth again.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>-<strong>Officer's Lounge with Pakod and Aria</strong>-<br/><br/>Liara sat listening, her eyes never left Aria's face.  She seemed almost transfixed by the discussion.  "No men?  So you're a Race of women?"  She asked once Aria was finished, her face seemed to light up at the thought of this.  "Are they all as beautiful as you?" She grinned for a second before jumping to another thought. "So is this....melding...a metaphysical thing that you do?  If you mate with someone other than another Asari do you actually become one entity for a period of time.  Wow this is so fascinating!"  The outside observer would have probably looked at Liara's face and deduced that part of her was running calculations or trying to assemble geometric shapes with her mind, by the look on it.  She was definitely trying to visualize or understand something, but what was another question.  She seemed to lean in closer to Aria waiting for the next answer.<br/><br/><br/>
