We’re conjoined twins — I’m asexual, but my sister has a boyfriend

A conjoined twin has found a love connection — despite her sister not being a good wingwoman.

Carmen and Lupita Andrade, 22, are attached along their chest walls. They have two arms, but only a single leg each, with Carmen controlling the right leg, and Lupita managing the left.

That hasn’t stopped Carmen from seeking a romantic partner. During an April interview that recently resurfaced, she revealed she had been dating a man she met on Hinge for 18 months.

Carmen and Dan appear to still be going strong, based on Instagram postings.\

But Carmen said at first, it was “really awkward.” Not to mention that Lupita has professed that she is “asexual and aromantic.”

“I was obviously going to be transparent about everything,” Carmen said about joining a new relationship. “It was a learning process for everybody. We obviously had to have a discussion on what boundaries are OK and what aren’t.”

Carmen joked that Lupita is not a good wingwoman, but Lupita defended herself by saying she makes “fun of” both Carmen and Dan.

In the interview, Carmen said she and Dan are not sexually intimate, and their bond is more like a close friendship. Since she is only in her early 20s, Carmen admitted she is not thinking about marriage too much. She said she would be more interested in a “life partner than actual marriage.”

Born in Mexico and raised in Connecticut, the twins have appeared on various TV shows, including on the TLC network.

They explained in the interview how they’ve been “fetishized” since they were 9 years old.

“No. 1 is being conjoined and another thing is people’s idea of just having sex with two people at once,” Carmen shared.
