Do Au Ra's even kiss?

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!
