Conjoined twins share a vagina — but only one of them has a boyfriend

Conjoined twins Lupita and Carmen Andrade, 22, have lived a unique life. They share a pelvis, a reproductive system including genitals, and a liver.

The sisters, however, don’t share a boyfriend. Carmen has a boyfriend named Daniel, while Lupita is asexual

While Lupita was not interested in dating, Carmen was and so she set herself up with a Hinge profile in October 2020.

While she was sent “a lot of messages from guys with fetishes”, Daniel set himself apart by not asking her about her status as a conjoined twin.

Carmen often felt nervous on the way to dates, causing her to cancel, but on the way to her date with Daniel she felt totally calm.

Carmen and Daniel have been together for two and a half years. They are not sexually intimate but they have talked about getting engaged and living together.

But how does Lupita feel about the arrangement? Carmen told Today.com. Daniel and Lupita get along “really well”.

She said: “It’s funny because I stay up later than Lupita, but when Daniel sleeps over, I fall asleep quickly — and he stays up talking with her.

“Sometimes I feel bad because I want to spend so much time with Daniel. So we try to come up with compromises. Like, [Lupita] will choose where we go out to dinner, or what activity we’re going to do.”

Lupita says she does want her sister to find love and settle down, despite the fact she isn’t interested.

She said: “I’m asexual, but I want Carmen to settle down. I know that’s important to her. “

The twins have had “challenges” but are living happy lives. The pair, who each have control of one leg, “go to movies and concerts [sharing one seat] and we travel on airplanes.”

Both sisters are hoping to work as vets, so they are training in the gym to be able to carry large dogs.
