A view of male's pores

sunfox Feb 05, 2005 02:42 PM

Here's a pic of Ra's pores. He was squirming a lot so getting clear pics was difficult. His pores are the same size as Isis's but she is twice his size. Also, he has many more pores than she does.

Ra has pores running down his thighs and Isis is lacking those. I hope this helps.

Those pics helped me. I remembered my scanner takes great pics as long as what you want a pic of can be laid down. I used it to get these pics of my mali. What do you guy think? Female or male?

I've taken some pics of my female Isis's pores for you as well. I'll post them up soon.

Sorry, I can't post any because they all turned out really crappy and I can't modify them well enough to see anything. I'll try getting more pics a little later.
Either way, Isis has less pores than Ra does. She doesn't have any along her thighs, so my best guess is that you've got a young male uro. Both sexes produce wax so you can't go by that.

This isn't a great pic but you can make out the absence of pores on her thighs.

Thanks! I've gotten 4 votes for male and 0 for female so I guess "she" is a he!
