To be fair, I’m like 30ish or whatever and they didn’t teach us shit in Somewhat Sorta Sex Ed…because I don’t even remember having it. Lol. Anyway, I’m not 100% at the moment but I think the term hermaphrodite has been phased out in favor of intersex because of the negative connotations associated with term. So for researchin purposes, friends, look up intersex. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Hermaphrodite means that both male and female parts work. There are no none cases of hermaphroditism occurring in humans. An example of hermaphroditism is in snails. Snails will actual shoot their intended with “love darts” to determine which one will carry the eggs. Intersex is different. Intersex people exist and can have one of their sex organs working, or can just be infertile.
There is term of “true hermaphroditism” in humans, but even in that case it just means they have both ovary and testicular tissue. However, as stated above, usually one will work. What I meant about real hermaphroditism, like in the case of snails, both parties can give birth and father an offspring.
wait wait wait. "Only one works" conveys that arousal can only happen in either the male part or female part. I don't think that's true. by "work" be clear. Are you saying that they can only use one to procreate? because not everything is all about making babies, and most if not all intersex can't have children
Guys there are real hermaphrodites. Y tf are you so confuse???? Havent thought in your science class???
