Do Au Ra's even kiss?

That's assuming that Au Ra men are born giants.

I also rather like all the ulgy assumptions that that the men are savage beasts that don't know how to be gentle with their partners.

As others have said the likely don't kiss. They likely would either have their own equivalent or not see it as a big deal. As for sexual matters that's not as big an issue as people are assuming. They would likely be proportioned so as to *ahem* fit or they'd never have survived as a species to this point. The rest is solved by proper positioning. It's basically a more pronounced version of the short girl-tall guy couples you see in real life sometimes (I've met couples with a height difference of over a foot and it works out).

As for the babies and horns issue, most creatures with horns only have nubs at birth.

Whoops, I was being sarcastic.

Of course I don't.

Yeah, agreed. Either things are proportion for their race. Either the maleshave smaller penises compared to their height or Females have much larger vaginas.

as for kissing, I'd imagine they'd have to do it carefully

SE hasn't explained how miqotes wear eyeglasses

Now I'm not on my tablet I can easily post this gif:

Well, I imagine the horns are handlebars. Use your imagination.

They don't kiss, but they rub their horns against each other

I've wondering about this ever since the artwork was presented... I still have no answer tho...

It can be that both gender have the same size as a baby, but that the male grow faster after it.

...This thread xD Maybe Auri's would just rather hug it out since the horns make it a little difficult for them to get close to each other? Or maybe they don't bother with any kissing or anything and just get right down to business o.o I did have an odd thought when I started seeing people's pics of them though. Did anyone see pics of them wearing earrings? Bet they'll just hang on the ends of the horns.

They hang in the little straight part between the head and the actual horns starting. They aren't at the ends.

I think all four horns have that section there, that way they don't have to move the earrings for every set of horns. I wish it was at the ends, though. xD

The fact hat the women are half the size of the men is also the explanation to OP. They can kiss, because the women can fit between the men's horns, and their horns tuck neatly in beside the man's neck. If they can't fit their DNA is incompatible anyway, so there's no point in mating <_<

Some women like it like that I guess? Males could be rough but it doesnt make them rapists if it's still consensual.

Back on topic- real answer Im sure is just 'that's not really meant to come up in game so don't think of it'

But what I would assume is the size difference helps the kissing with that females can probably, usually, fit between the male horns. They might not do it at all, but then there IS the kiss scene in the bonding ceremony, so they've gotta make it work somehow, unless it just fades out before they get close enough for that and you're then supposed to use your imagination.

Mating, uh, just dont put their heads so close together that horns will be an issue? Obviously it works somehow or the race would be extinct. I'm a lot shorter than my husband and that works out >_> I imagine baby au ra are just born around the same size like most animals, with no/tiny horns that grow in adolescense.

I wonder if the lore guys will read all of this and think 'damn, we were hoping you guys wouldnt think too hard about this!' and now be forced to think of it themselves (I lie, you know EVERYONE'S thought of it at some point) :D

If you are a girl Au Ra you could kiss another girl.

Option 4 for the females probably has the biggest problems with it since they are the only horns that go forward, but it isn't by much so still probably not a big issue. Also I assume we will never know how mating works, but since the species is still around...well.

Also gonna be somewhat stereotypical here...but its Japan. Even if we didn't think of it, there is probably a thread either made to atleast wonder how the hell it works, or it somehow got to it like we are.

Actually screw stereotyping, its a human thing. EU thinking about it too I bet!

Well if you think about it "Eskimo kisses" (where you rub your noses together) became a thing because in colder regions your lips COULD in fact freeze together (much like sticking your tongue to a really cold telephone pole). So depending on where you live regular humans without horns face similar challenges with affection and mating. The only female that would have trouble doing any form of "kissing" would definitely be face 4 as of right now.

Maybe for them they kiss the tip of their index finger then touch the finger to their partner's lips? :) I've seen people do that to be cutesy, it could work here.

Au Ra have really pointy tongues. When they want to show affection, they poke each others tips with their tongues repeatedly.

There isn't a hairstyle where you can see where human-like ears would be on a Miqo'te. The assumption is nothing is there. The glasses' stems could reach all the way around like a band. Thanks to the hairstyles you cannot confirm this, but it's makes the most logical sense since they're clearly not altered for the Miqo'te ears.

Why do they have to kiss?

Im more leaning towards "compatible horn" thing. When you meet someone who has horns that "compatible" with you, you know he's the one. About the height difference, well, it will work out.

Easy, Adhesive.

What if the horns articulate slightly so that for face to face acts such as kissing, the horns retract just enough from the face, and thenwhen in battle, the same articulation could reversebrining the horns forward and locking them? The position we see in the character creator may be the 'idle' position.

The arms of glasses could also have small hair combs onthe ends to allow them to 'clip' to the side of their head.

They don't kiss and they lay eggs. Oh, and my sunglasses are the wonders of magitek.

I keep trying to tell you, it was never said they are demons...

poor au'ra
even if senpai notices them they'll never have senpai's kiss :(

(also to everyone saying they have long pointy tongues)

(no im not serious)

in one word
Yes

in four words

Yes, Very Freaking Carefully.

I was used to be an Au Ra adventurer and then I took a horn in the eye.

Maybe the horn are detachable.
Hey let's kiss, please take out your horn first.

Because moogles force you to if you choose to get eternally bonded.

We actually have a few now that show that part, some of the newest like the Gold Saucer Ponytail.
And yes no Ears of course.

This is why you can't come out to play. Lol

Kissing is dirty and kinky. who came up with the idea anyway?
Oh hey...hmm can i lick you in the mouth? it won't be weird at all....

"Food" for thought: french kissing exchanges more bacteria, than licking the inside of a public toilet. Romantic much.
