Conjoined twins, 22-year-old Lupita and Carmen Andrade, have recently opened up about about what it’s like to live their lives fused together — and the common misconceptions about their dating lives and beyond.
The twins, born in Mexico but grew up in Connecticut, share a pelvis, a reproductive system (v+gin@), a liver and a bloodstream.
They each have one leg; Carmen controls the right one.They explained that they have never tried to have a surgery that would separate them, as it could be fatal for one or even both of them.
But when it comes to dating, they have a bit of a different outlook — Carmen has a boyfriend named Daniel, while Lupita is asexual.
Carmen revealed she met her boyfriend on a dating app in October 2020, and she said that he set himself apart by not asking her a question about being a conjoined twin to start off their conversation. Even though she and Daniel are dating, Carmen said they are not s£xually intim@te with each other.
Since she is only in her early 20s, she is not thinking about marriage too much. She said she would be more interested in a “life partner than actual marriage.
“Daniel and I love kids, but we don’t want any of our own,” she added. “I like being a dog mom! Lupita and I can’t get pregnant, we have endometriosis and we’re also on a hormone blocker that prevents us from menstruating.
” Although Lupita isn’t dating Daniel, Carmen says the two get along “really well.”
They both revealed that they can also feel each other’s feelings — literally. “I can feel when Carmen is anxious or about to cry,” Lupita revealed. “It’s that same stomach drop.”
