Are hermaphrodites bisexual

Answer 1

In theory yes. Hermaphrodite has the sexual organs of the both genders, male and female. If he-and-she is interested in other hermaphrodites, then he-and-she could be considered homosexual, a person who likes the same sex.

Answer 2

The simple answer is "no".

True medical hermaphroditism is quite rare. It is usually defined as someone who has "both male gonadal tissue (testes) and female gonadal tissue (ovarian tissue)." The term is also used to refer to people with "ambiguous genitalia", where you can't really tell if the sex organs are a penis and testicles or a vagina and ovaries.

This condition is physical, and isn't necessarily connected to sexual orientation or sexual behavior. It also doesn't have any connection to gender identity. It seems that the main determiner of whether someone feels themselves to be male or female is rooted in the chromosomes rather than the body's appearance, but this can also vary.

A person with ambiguous genitalia or gonadal mosacism could be attracted to men, women, or both, just as people with normal reproductive systems might be. A hermaphrodite (the modern term is "intersex") doesn't have to be bisexual, since bisexuality is about internal emotions and being a hermaphrodite is about physical anatomy.
