    I like to think that love conquers all.

    Whoa! Pardon me if I further confuse you, but I am going to give it a shot!

    I guess it would depend on what type of organs we are working with. From what I've seen they come in various forms and sizes. If you are talking about a person that looks like a female, has a well developed vagina, but also has a slightly long clitoris, I don't see why that should be a problem for you if you are a man. I hear some guys like that kinda stuff.

    If you are talking about a person that looks like a male and has a penis that is split open at the base...that might be a problem for me; that is because I like what I like and I don't want any anomalies with it. However, if you truly love this person, you would love them unconditionally and what they have to make love to you with would not matter. But on the other hand, I would be furious if a transsexual, not a hermaphrodite, attempted to pass as a man and mislead me to fall in love with them. I would cut that person off without a second thought because our relationship started out as a lie.

    Well, I was obviously attracted to them in the first place. I would be much more concerned about the fact that I was attracted to a hermaphrodite than the fact that they were a hermaphrodite. They can't really help it, after all. After accepting that, I would probably continue the relationship, unless there were serious problems with it aside from that.

    Wow, this is a hard one. If you really love your partner, then I would stay and work it out. Honestly, its not your partners decision, this is the way they were born. I guess put your self in your partners shoes for a minute, I am sure this is how every one of their relationships have been, as I am sure they normally don't get a very welcoming response. Go with your heart, if it is too much to handle, then its way to much to handle, but just be honest. Don't lie to your partner about why you are ending the relationship because I am sure they have heard every lie in the book. Good Luck.

    do you love this person??? How did you find out about the condition? Did the person tell you this...or lie about it. As long as the person was truthful and you truly love them...then you should not be too affected by it. A hermaphrodite is a person...has feelings...and should not be treated any differently. If the person chose to be a male or female...depending on which characteristic was more prominent...then that is what they are. I hope that everything goes well for you. Good luck:)

    They should have told the other one sooner. Maybe not right away because it's a hard thing to tell someone, but before emotions were really involved they should tell them sooner than later. It would probably be too much to handle, but if it were my husband now (which he is not) I already love him so much and I would be with him, but anyone else I would not!

    I think its one of those situations were you cant answer correctly til you in that situation, every single relationship is different, and based on different things! For me I have to beleive that it wouldn't matter! If it is my significant other than I would be in love. Even though i wouldn't knowingly date one, I wouldnt reject one if I was in love, and found out later.Love conquers all., right?

  • I think no matter what if a person truely loves someone, they'll accept them as they are and for their faults too... I mean how hard is it to find love or even true love this day and age.... The question is can you live with yourself knowing their true self.. If you say no are you shallow or just an idiot.

    Most likely too much to handle.

  • 2 decades ago

    Depends on how long you have been with this person, and whether you can handle it, but if you love this person a lot work through it. Hey who knows it could be fun

    It would be more than I wanted, and I'm sure that I would find out early enough in the relationship to say goodbye. And I would say goodbye because they deserve someone who will love them wholly as much as I deserve someone who fits my expectations.
