Anonymous2: This isn't what is usually meant by "dickgirl", i.e. having the full urogenital system of a male but with everything else female. This is one of the various ways people have attempted to draw hermaphrodites. The funny thing is that "dickgirls" actually occur in reality (take someone who, at least physiologically (they can be a neurologically female transsexual, for instance), is male, and put them on female hormones for long enough but don't perform genital surgery), but true hermaphrodism (i.e. actually having two complete, functional sets of genitals, as opposed to intersex where the genitals are intermediate between male and female) is impossible in humans. It's kind of unfortunate, really; if humans could be true hermaphrodites, I'd probably want to be one. This isn't really what I'd be looking for anyway, though, because there are still no balls.

Well, actually, just yet I haven't sucked any cocks, but I would be delighted by the opportunity to do so at some point in the near future. Cocks are nice. :D
By the way, why didn't you write that post as if you were me, i.e. "HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS"? That's the usual formulation, and it's much more effective as a joke than the one you used.
Gremrat: Anon2/An On: Actually, it's not impossible, just exceedingly rare. Instances of mosaicism - two embryos fusing in the womb - have rendered true hermaphrodites when male and female fraternal twins merged. :)
Gremrat: Bah, I'm tired and it's been years since I researched that stuff XD Here is the Google search term!

An_Onymous: BTW, perhaps I should clarify what I meant above, since my original wording was ambiguous. I really wouldn't be that surprised to find that the occasional human body has been generated with both female and male genitals. However, due to its chimeric origin (in the cases you mentioned), I would expect the genitals to not be correctly alighed on a single, normally proportioned human torso like this. While it is possible that a chimerism could arise by which the *only* bit of redundant parts left was an extra, opposite-sex genital system, *and* in which it was positioned in the normal place, the odds against it would be far greater than against simply having a more "expected" chimerism (some degree of conjoined-twin-ness or irregular positioning still present). Furthermore, the internal parts of the two genital systems would interrupt each other (e.g. the part of the penile shaft that extends back behind the testes inside the pelvis would run straight into the vagina), so if you did have the two systems in this arrangement, neither one would work. Despite the letter of my post, the spirit of it was really that in humans, there really isn't any good way for there to be a hermaphrodite like an earthworm or a snail: one that possesses two fully functional sets of genitals that are fully integrated into normal, healthy development.
An_Onymous: Blarg. I guess I should have expected to be ninja'd, given the length of my response. And I still managed to not address a completely different issue: Technically, what you described is not mosaicism. Mosaicism is two genetically distinct populations of cells in one organism that have both arisen from the same ovum. What you described is an example of chimerism (hence my use of the term in my post). While XX/XY mosaics do also exist in humans, they generally don't have two separate sets of genitals unless something else has also happened, e.g. chimerism as in my previous post.
An_Onymous: Slight revision and clarification to above:
A) Mosaicism can also refer to two or more cell populations from one ovum (in a single organism) whose gene *expression* is different, e.g. cell populations expressing one or the other X chromosome, to use a trivial and ubiquitous example.
B) XX/XY mosaic humans tend to have an intersex phenotype. That may have already been clear, but I thought I'd make sure it was.
An_Onymous: I mean, I know I've been kind of sleep-deprived now and then recently, but I didn't realize it had gotten that bad. I must have been half the fuck asleep when I posted that. It's the only way I can think of that that could have gotten by. :S
Anonymous13(10): @anon8 if there is a chimera with two fully functioning set of genitals then that person would have one set of dna. each genital would have its own set of dna because it wold be two people merged in one body in the womb. so the baby would be the same as if siblings had a baby because technically thats exactly what would happen.

i always wondered what it would be like...

I'm following An Onymous around on the site now to see if there are other fun comments :D
