Anniee Charlotte, a 26-year-old model from Surrey, was diagnosed at the age of 16 with uterus didelphys — a rare congenital condition that results in a duplicated reproductive system. This means she was born with two uteruses, two cervixes, and two vaginal canals.
The Only fans creator revealed that her two reproductive systems share one set of ovaries. But there is still “complete uncertainty” regarding her ability to conceive. Uterus didelphys, the condition she was diagnosed with, affects roughly 0.3% of the population, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Though surgery may be necessary in severe cases, most instances don’t require medical intervention.
Coming to Terms With a Rare Condition
Charlotte, who was diagnosed at 16, described the experience as “really quite scary”. She says slowly came to terms with it during her university years.
“I stopped looking at it as a medical issue, and all the problems that could arise from having children, and instead something that was just a super-cool aspect of myself because of people’s reactions, they would be shocked but also so interested,” she told Daily Mail. “Now, I’ve completely embraced it and accepted it as part of myself, and I’ve never been more confident.”
Impact on Romantic Relationships
Despite embracing her uniqueness, Charlotte admits her condition often influences how her romantic relationships begin.
“Because I let people know quite early, or they’ve seen me in the papers, or they’ve seen my Instagram, my relationships start quite sexual, and that can be quite intense,” she explained. “I feel like because of my condition the first thing that is spoken about is sex, and sometimes I just want someone to get to know me — not my vaginas.”
Judgment in the Adult Industry
Since launching her career on OnlyFans, Charlotte says she regularly faces judgment—not only due to her condition but also because of her job. Some men, she explained, struggle with her profession and the nature of her work.
“I’ve had partners before watch the tapes back and be like ‘you looked like you were enjoying sleeping with that guy more than you’ve ever with me’,” she shared. “People don’t feel comfortable with it, and they don’t date me at all because they can’t get past it.”
Empowered Despite the Stigma
Still, Charlotte finds empowerment in her career, despite societal stigma.
“I don’t expect to come home and tell my partner how my day was on set with another man, but I want to feel not awkward about coming home and having a chat with them,” she added.
Most Partners Don’t Even Realize
In an earlier interview with The Mirror, Charlotte revealed details. Most of the men she’s been intimate with never realized her condition during their encounters.
“None of them ever know. I’ve had experiences where I’ve told them ‘By the way I have two vaginas’ and they’re like, ‘What?’” she said.
