Am I the only dummy in the world who didn’t even know it was possible to have more than 2 sexes (except for mutations)???
If humans could have more than 2 sexes what would they be? My mind boggles at this?
There are 7 sexes: male heterosexuals, female hetersexuals, male homosexuals, female homosexuals, males over age 65, females over age 65, and infants under 1 hour old. Without all these sexes, reproduction would be possible.
Leastways, that’s what Kurt Vonnegut says, and who am I to challenge him?

Hermaphrodites, as I understand it, have both male and female sexual equipment. It’s a genetic error, rather than a gender, and almost never does one get asked to the prom.
Women are from Venus, men are from Mars, and they meet at Earth…which is pretty much the same problem Belgium has with the Germans and French. One or more additional sexes would REALLY be trouble.
Well, the point of sex is to reproduce, and the point of having two people contributing is to create diversity (physical, psycological etc) amongst the offspring.
You need a sperm and an egg. A thrid sex would mean a whole rejiggering of sexual reproduction methods and ingredients, so I don’t think it’ll happen on this planet any time soon.
I think it boils down to minimum numbers to create diversity. Answer: 2.
Though this smacks of some ‘decision’ being made by some ‘higher entity’ which I’m not too certain over, frankly. Indeed, I doubt it a lot.
