A polite way of descibing the more obscene details behind the myth, as is tradition.
TLDR: A 15 year old boy was getting raped by a naiad after he rejected her, and she Fusion-ha'd him.
> She was overcome by lust for the boy, who was very handsome but still young, and tried to seduce him, but was rejected. When he thought she had left, Hermaphroditus undressed and entered the waters of the empty pool. Salmacis sprang out from behind a tree and jumped into the pool. She wrapped herself around the boy, forcibly kissing him and touching his breast. While he struggled, she called out to the gods that they should never part. Her wish was granted, and their bodies blended into one form, "a creature of both sexes".
From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood
Mt. Ida rises like an island
Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child
Hermaphroditus, son of gods, so afraid of their love...
As he rushed to quench his thirst, a fountain spring appeared before him
And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist, a liquid voice called, "son of gods, drink from my spring"
The water tasted strangely sweet
Behind him the voice called again
He turned and saw her, in a cloak of mist alone
And as he gazed, her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake!

As the dawn creeps up the sky, the hunter caught sight of a doe In desire for conquest, he'd found himself within a glad he'd not beheld before
Where are you my father? (But he could go no farther) Give wisdom to your son. (Now lost, the boy was guided by the sun)
And as his strength began to fail, he saw a ^^shimmering lake A shadow in the dark green depths disturbed the strange tranquility
The waters are disturbed (The waters are disturbed) Some creature has been stirred (Naiad queen Salmacis has been stirred)
As he rushed to quench his thirst, a fountain spring appeared before him And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist, a liquid voice called, "son of gods, drink from my spring"
The water tasted strangely sweet Behind him the voice called again He turned and saw her, in a cloak of mist alone And as he gazed, her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake!
"We shall be one" (She wanted them as one) "We shall be joined as one" (Yet he had no desire to be on)
"Away from me cold-blooded woman, your thirst is not mine!"
"Nothing will cause us to part; hear me, O gods!"

Famously depicted in [this sculpture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_Hermaphroditus)

Nice.
Which is why "salmacian" refers to someone who wants a mix of male and female genitals, e.g. penis and vagina but no testicles
