Herms are like those solemn 'adult' covers you can get for 'embarassing' books like Harry Potter or Terry Pratchett stuff. They're a way to secretly enjoy something while pretending to the rest of the world (and perhaps yourself) you're not doing any such thing. They're so men can say they're straight without having to give up the cock. That's why the vast majority of herms are basically females with dicks tacked on and why 'shi' and 'hir' are the preferred herm pronouns as opposed to the equally silly/valid 'hi' and 'hem': when you say them out loud you can pretend you're talking about a girl.

I have no idea why I'm sharing this all of a sudden. But I just couldn't stop myself.
