Conjoined twins, 22-year-old\u00a0Lupita and Carmen Andrade<\/a>, recently opened up about what it\u2019s like to live their lives fused together \u2014 and the common misconceptions about their dating lives and beyond.<\/p>\n

The twins<\/a>, who were born in Mexico but grew up in Connecticut, share a pelvis, a reproductive system, a liver and a bloodstream, they told\u00a0Today.com<\/a>. They each have one leg; Carmen controls the right one.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s not all rainbows and sunshine. We\u2019ve had a lot of challenges, but we have a great life,\u201d Carmen told the outlet. \u201cWe go to movies and concerts [sharing one seat] and we travel on airplanes.\u201d<\/p>

They explained that they have never tried to have a surgery that would separate them, as it could be fatal for one or even both of them.<\/p>\n

When they were little, they had physical therapy to learn how to sit up and work their legs \u2014 they took their first steps when they were 4 years old.<\/p>

But when it comes to dating, they have a bit of a different outlook \u2014 Carmen has a boyfriend named Daniel, while Lupita is asexual.<\/p>\n
