Like others said: Where do children come from? My first interpretation
of this was that you've described two different (hermaphroditic)
species, since they don't seem to interbreed.
If this isn't the case, you're going to have to describe how sperm
meets egg, and how the male children get to the male couples.
Besides, the terms 'male' and 'female' are tough to apply to
aliens, whose biology is, well, alien. Try looking at how ferns
reproduce. Why should aliens duplicate our particular arrangement,
except for who lives with who?
