What happens if a female male Facedancer gets impregnated?

[Navaros]

a lot of them are designed to make guys wanna bang 'em thus it stands to reason that they get banged a lot. so the question is, what happens if they get impregnated?

[exatreide]

face dancers are hermaphridtes. Capabul of being both male and female, thus not being able to be impregnated.

[Navaros]

what does being a hermy have to do with being impregnated or not? they still have all a woman's impregnatable parts so why couldn't it happen?

[Acriku]

I'm pretty sure Ex has it, if not then they are probably altered genetically to not produce any gametes.

Or..."Trojan Man!"

[exatreide]

becouse you moron, its imposible to change from male to female like that, hell you might end up impregnating yourself. So most likly they have been sterilized. And if you no anything about humans. you know that the male and female genitaila are quite simmiler.

[TMA_1]

hermaphrodites cannot have children. Both sex organs they contain are immaturely grown. They do not have eggs and sperm. The face dancers can manipulate their sex organs enough though to have sexual relations if need be, or to change from male to female.

[Navaros]

see so i was right. ha. who's the moron? not I

now if you could please answer my original Q, TMA-1...

[Acriku]

If they can't get impregnated, the question of what happens if one does get impregnated is irrelevant.

[Navaros]

they are not really hermys tho. they don't really have both. not at the same time. therefore i bet they can get impregnated

[Acriku]

Ok, fair enough. Wouldn't it make sense, though, to sterilize them so no gametic fusion can happen?

[TMA_1]

they are hermaphrodites dude. They have both sex organs. Where in the heck did you hear different? I sense that somebody is making stuff up as they go along just to argue.lol ahem... arohk? lol

[Zopwx2]

I was under the impression that they werent even human. that they were grown in tleiaxu tanks. and they cant reproduce, i dont remember why, but its clearly stated that they cant.

[Vanguard3000]

Face Dancers are repeatedly referred to as "mules," which tells us they are sterile. Besides, just because they look like they can have either... apparati doesn't mean they are funcional.

[thomas]

yea duh if you read dune (or DM) you'd know this. ::) ::) ::)

[NHJ BV]

Yup, all Facedancers are sterile.

[lowzeewee]

Just imagine,when going into intercourse,they operate their identical-to-partner-sex-organs.

But anyway,they are sterile and can't get pregnant..... :)

[Caid Ivik]

a lot of them are designed to make guys wanna bang 'em thus it stands to reason that they get banged a lot. so the question is, what happens if they get impregnated?

So, according to Heretics they are unfertile, reproduced by cloning.

[Dante]

The Masters mention several times that the face dancers are sterile. By design.

[Khan]

Do facedancers actually have minds of their own or are they just like machines?

[TMA_1]

they are human beings. The tleilaxu just altered them so that they can manipulate and mutate parts of their body.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

have they been normal people manipulated or are they just cloned?

[Dante]

They're creations. Like robots in that they are artificially manufactured. They are human in that they have personalities and can plan things themselves. But then again they aren't, as most of them are heavily conditioned. (Apart from the new ones in the later books, HA!)

[ilexatrei]

Odd Subject...

[Inoculator9]

I would have to say that in their original form, they don't have any sexual organs, just a flat area that can be morphed into whatever gender's sexual organ as the need arises.

[Exo Etherial]

I was going to put something down here about sexual organs, hormones, their roll in redroduction, or the lack of it, and then ask for more information. Why? Because I don't know how Face Dancers perform their little morpho-trickies...

Then a bunch of other people who actually know repeatedly stated that Face Dancers are sterile. They are manufactured, not trained, mutated, or bred. Designed to never reproduce, and probably to not even fetter themselves with true thoughts of sexuality ( a possibly palpable distraction factor).

I'm sure there are a bunch of interesting socio-economic reasons for why the Bene Tleilaxu chose to not let them have children, even amongst themselves, but this isn't the thread for it.
