If someone is born a hermaphrodite, is it a sin for them to have sex with anyone else?

Answer 1

no such thing

Main article: Intersexuality
It is possible for a human to be a true hermaphrodite. Due to a discovery in Texas in 2003, it has been proven that a single human being can possess both male and female reproductive organs inside and outside the body. It is believed that a DNA disorder called Chimerism is the source to this disorder. Hermaphrodite was used to describe any person incompatible with the biological gender binary, but has recently been replaced by intersexual in medicine. Humans with typical reproductive organs but atypical clitoris/penis are called pseudohermaphrodites in medical literature.

Intersexuals often choose to live exclusively as one sex or the other, using clothing, social cues, genital surgery, and hormone replacement therapy to blend into the sex they identify with closer. Some intersexuals, such as those with Klinefelter's syndrome and androgen insensitivity syndrome, outwardly appear completely female or male already, without realizing they are intersexual. Other kinds of intersexuality are identified immediately at birth because those with the condition have a sexual organ larger than a clitoris and smaller than a penis. Intersexuality is caused by unusual sex hormones; the unusual hormones may be caused by an atypical set of sex chromosomes


Not to be confused with XYY syndrome or XXX syndrome.
Klinefelter's syndrome, 47, XXY or XXY syndrome is a condition caused by a chromosome aneuploidy. Affected males have an extra X sex chromosome. The principal effect is abnormal testicular development and reduced fertility. A variety of other physical and behavioral differences and problems are common, though severity varies and many boys and men with the condition have few detectable symptoms. It is the second most common extra chromosome condition, and is named after Dr. Harry Klinefelter, an endocrinologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, who first described it in 1942.[1] The condition exists in roughly 1 out of every 500 to 1,000 males.[2


Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS, or "Androgen resistance syndrome") is a set of disorders of sexual differentiation that results from mutations of the gene encoding the androgen receptor. It has also been called androgen resistance in the medical literature. The nature of the resulting problem varies according to the structure and sensitivity of the abnormal receptor. Most of the forms of AIS involve variable degrees of undervirilization and/or infertility in XY persons of either sex. A woman with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) has a nearly normal female body despite a 46XY karyotype and undescended testes, a condition termed testicular feminization in the past.

Major changes in the understanding and management of the various forms of AIS have occurred since 1990. Laboratory research has greatly expanded our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the clinical features, including a rare neuromuscular disorder. More importantly, patient advocacy groups for AIS and other intersex conditions have increased public awareness of these disorders, helped revise the understanding of gender identity, emphasized the value of accurate and sophisticated information for patients, and induced physicians to re-evaluate the effectiveness of the surgical corrections attempted in past decades. Surgery is increasingly seen as an elective option even for the more ambiguous conditions.

Answer 2

No one is responsible for what happens during the birth process. If something happens to cause an abnormality, it is not your fault and you cannot be held accountable. However you are not gay unless you have participated in gay activities. Just having gay thoughts does not make one gay. And you can only sin if you know you are doing wrong. Which I am sure by your question, you are old enough to know right from wrong. Now as to your main question, only a doctor can tell if you are primarily male or female. And they can do things to correct the sex organs not needed. You can also do things about your thinking, so you can function in society as a normal person. I wish you luck in what ever you decide...whew6

Answer 3

Actually, hermaphrodites are males whose bodies do not respond correctly to the male hormone testosterone. There are some hermaphrodites whose bodies are so unable to respond to testosterone that their outer bodies become completely female in appearance (they do have internal testicles, though).

No matter what their bodies look like, they are genetically male because they have the "y" chromosome which only males have. Therefore technically, they should only have sex with females.

I personally think they should be allowed to have sex with whom ever they wish, but of course, I'm not the one who wrote the Bible

Answer 4

1) No one is born a hermaphrodite - the correct term is intersexed.
2) I don't believe in sin, but in any case they are just people like you and me and they decide which sex/gender they feel they are - yes, they can have sex.

Answer 5

Sex and sin is a personal issue. That's a hard question to answer, some faiths consider sex a sin period.

Answer 6

hermaphrodite means that you are both sexes! so you can do away with which ever one you don't want and start a family,maybe just maybe that is what happened to CHRIST?

Answer 7

Matthew 19. Some are not born to have sex.

Answer 8

as long as the three of them are agreeable to it, I say go for it,
have an orgy. And don't let them make fun of your organs.
hermaphrodites are one of the few that can (when told to do so) go f--- themselves. You gotta love that.

Answer 9

bad to judge anyone ..we all the same with out no sun

Answer 10

That is your decision, sex isn't a sin, only when it is done.
