Rarely. True functional hermaphroditism is rare or absent in higher animals and humans; in most cases, they are sterile.

If you google it, you'll find over 300 responses, so you're not the only one with this question.

in a true hermaphrodite, the sex organs generally don't work at all. It's a genetic mutation, so each is maybe half-formed.

Only in a Dean Koontz story. And maybe on Southpark.
