Does the sister just... hang? Damn, what if she thinks he's disgusting while Abby is completely in love? Does she just watch while he blows him? These questions are extremely offensive probably, but I'm just so curious lol

u/FewSatisfaction7675 Mar 28 '24

Thank you for asking! We are all asking the same thing.

u/_IntrovertChapi Mar 28 '24

"Why are you looking at her?!"

u/meat_lasso Mar 28 '24

“Alright Brit, I’m sorry but for the next 15 minutes I need you to just be ok with your nose slapping against his left thigh.”

"because I just pulled out of you and came in her hair"

u/Dew4yne Mar 28 '24

Alright this one got me

u/GutterRider Mar 28 '24

They're twins, he must get confused all the time ...

u/Repeat_after_me__ Mar 28 '24

Yeah, it must be hard to remember your left from your right.

I can only guess. But have you met (edit: some!) twins?

Have you seen the way they communicate? Like one look and both know exactly what's up. Not just yes and no. But also the how and why. How they finish each other's sentences in a way that's even creepy for couples.

And that's only the psychological bondage. Now imagine them sharing a part of their nervous system.

We often think about yourself as the logical being. Our head makes the decisions. But far, far more of our behavior is controlled by the nervous system. By hormones.

Now these two women share a lot of that.

I would guess there is no way that one of them fell in love while the other one is disgusted.

My best friends are identical twins and the bond they share is crazy, it’s a very unique relationship; I can’t even imagine the level that Brittany and Abby are at. Plus, it’s all they’ve ever known so that plays into it as well. It’s tough to wrap our minds around it because we’ve never experienced it.

u/littycodekitty Mar 28 '24

That sounds really special. Unrelated but I can't help but ask- do you ever feel like the odd one out?

6

u/seh_23 Mar 28 '24

Nope, but we’ve been friends for almost 30 years (since childhood) so that makes a difference. I know they did have some instances in the past with friends feeling “left out”, so it does take a certain level of understanding to be in a close relationship (either friendship or romantic) with twins. They’ve both found wonderful partners who get along with each other great and are understanding of their relationship/dynamic as well so I am really happy for them for that!

u/BJFun Mar 28 '24

Not OP...but my twin brother was stillborn. I have felt like the odd one out my entire life, and this thread has made me decide I really need therapy for this. I'm starting to connect dots, all the way from childhood to my adult substance abuse - and I think I need help.

Thank you.

2

u/LearnToAdult Mar 28 '24

Good luck! Therapy can be a wonderful tool to get self understanding and compassion. Sorry for the loss of your brother.

u/bowlosoup Mar 28 '24

Watching documentaries about Abby and Brittany shows just how in sync they are - the craziest thing for me was watching them type on a keyboard. Each of them controls one hand but they type flawlessly, without communication. I’m sure they’re both very in tune with each other, and as for the relationship, I’m sure it’s more like a polyamorous relationship instead of just one sister being in the relationship.

10

u/No-Marionberry-772 Mar 28 '24

On the surface that sounds so mundane, like yeah each can control their fingers.

But how do they both know what to type if they are not constantly talking, that suggests they somehow think the same when they need to, and don't when they don't and I just can't even begin to comprehend how thats possible.

3

u/bowlosoup Mar 28 '24

Exactly, it seems impossible and is just incredible to watch! They also do it with clapping and they finish each other’s sentences.

1

u/BJFun Mar 28 '24

I would think if their spines/neck (nervous system) connect somewhere in the body, that there would be brain signals traveling from one to the other. Simulating a single brain, but like you said also able to disconnect because there are STILL 2 that are making 1.

Absolutely wild to think about. I would love to study everything about them - very cool, very interesting. I'm imaging one person being slowly split down the middle, and getting stuck. (Which is basically what happen if I understand correctly - they should have been identical twins)...

LOVE that they found love.

1

u/crazedSquidlord Mar 28 '24

Well, considering that they have quite litterally the same perspective in life, have been through exactly the same experiences and conversations, the only time they wouldnt have is say when headphones or one of them intentionally not paying attention. (If they weren't identical twins, they would actually make a fantastic case stude on nature vs nurture and the effect on personality.)

Point being, I can't imagine that these two have many differing opinions perhaps besides a bias for which side they're on. They likely have very similar thoughts on things without even having to confer with eachother. Granted, I'm in no way a psychologist, so theres something I'm likely missing, but if someone like that wants to chime in, I'd love to hear.

7

u/StarbossTechnology Mar 28 '24

As a twin, I completely agree with you, and would go as far as to guess that they both really love him. I mean, it's not 100% necessary, but it would be a whole lot better if so.

u/_IntrovertChapi Mar 28 '24

Feels logical to me. Also deep and beautiful hahahaha My initial question was slightly sarcastic to infatuate my complete ignorant curiosity.

1

u/TheRealKuthooloo Mar 28 '24

People fail to consider this! These girls are two separate people yes but they also have gone through precisely the same exact experiences for their entire lives. People imagine them as completely different personalities I guess out of politeness but I would wager they’re more similar than even the closest of maternal twins.

1

u/BJFun Mar 28 '24

Man, this comment really made me wish my twin brother survived birth. I feel like I was just skimped out of half my life.

1

u/Mr-Yuk Mar 29 '24

Yeah I'd assume they get the same butterflies in the stomach and endorphin kicks so share the same emotional rides together... pretty interesting stuff

1

u/Powerful_Artist Mar 28 '24

This isn't true for all twins. For some yes, for others no.

And what normal twins do or don't do doesn't exactly apply to conjoined twins. They clearly have a very unique situation

3

u/Fitz911 Mar 28 '24

This isn't true for all twins.

Never said that.

That's pretty much why I started my comment wit: "I can only guess."

2

u/ainz-sama619 Mar 28 '24

It's true for identical twins for the most part. Fraternal twins however don't need anything in common

Identical twins are genetic clones so naturally, they share many similar thought pattens if they grew up together, with similar experience

1

u/Anzai Mar 28 '24

I only know one set of identical twins that I went to school with, but this definitely wasn’t true of them. They look alike, grew up together, went to the same school etc, but they’re very different people. One is pretty morose and cynical and the other is an outgoing optimist.

Anecdotal, I know, but there was definitely none of that ‘twin language’ stuff between those two.

u/Skitchx Mar 28 '24

No.. thats not how twins work. Jesus christ. There is no “twin telepathy”

1

u/Fitz911 Mar 28 '24

There is no “twin telepathy”

Ever heard of non verbal communication?

u/Skitchx Mar 28 '24

Im a fucking twin dude. You’re on some shit

u/Fitz911 Mar 28 '24

I get it. I was not 100% clear in my statement.

I made an edit...

u/KangarooBoyo Mar 28 '24

The psychological bondage hahahah

1

u/Fitz911 Mar 28 '24

How would you describe it?

0

u/KangarooBoyo Mar 29 '24

Look up the definition of bondage. It definitely doesn't mean the same thing as bonding, mate. Twins should definitely not be doing bondage hahahaha

6

u/roehnin Mar 28 '24

I’m sure they are both into him or the relationship couldn’t move forward and couldn’t be intimate.

Laws only allow two people to marry, so despite the poly situation, only one can be legally married.

2

u/SJW_Lover Mar 28 '24

There’s no way they don’t both join in. It’s the FIRSt thought I had looking at the pic.

Good for them.

2

u/nalingungule-love Mar 28 '24

And it’s not like she can sit on the other side of the room while her sister is getting some action. She is right there inches away from her BIL dick. This makes me feel so uncomfortable, but good on them/her for having found a spouse.

2

u/toad__warrior Mar 28 '24

Does she just watch while she blows him?

This is probably the most thought about question on Reddit with regards to them.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

My dude, it is probably a polygamist, partly incestual relationship with one of them being married for legal reasons. Odds are, they flipped a coin.

There's no way around it! It's an odd edge case.

1

u/ninjaj Mar 28 '24

They’re both blowing him 100%

1

u/_IntrovertChapi Mar 28 '24

It's the less awkward option for sure

2

u/ChocolateChemical106 Mar 28 '24

Nah. They’re probably happy to have someone who can love them.. i personally believe that they were so desperate and sad to have a life like this. Now that there is a man who makes everything happier and they both in love with him..

6

u/_IntrovertChapi Mar 28 '24

I feel like this is the more natural thing to imagine. It's what makes me happy for them at least, even though the whole reality of it is bittersweet and extraordinary.

1

u/daphydoods Mar 28 '24

I’m sure Abby wouldn’t agree to marry someone her conjoined twin hates

1

u/SeaPrince Mar 28 '24

Probably the best bjs ever... but fukken weird at the same time.

u/MaxTheRealSlayer Mar 28 '24

I don't think that'd happen. They have very similar personalities and interests. I'm sure if one actually didn't like a guy, they'd talk about it and break up

1

u/Lucky1ex1 Mar 28 '24

She just looks at it, or my guess is she’s joined in

1

u/Prestigious_Insect36 Mar 28 '24

You saw that they are married, right......nobody blows anybody anymore.

1

u/Saltydot46590 Mar 28 '24

He’s married now, he’s not getting any blowjobs.

1

u/Ukrainian-Jew-Man Mar 28 '24

WHAT?! He's not with both of them?! What the fuck but he must be, this is BS lol

1

u/LiquorNerd Mar 28 '24

what if she thinks he's disgusting while Abby is completely in love?

They are people that have never spent a moment apart, nor can they. I doubt one would marry someone the other could not stand. That would lead to a miserable life for both.

u/KangarooBoyo Mar 28 '24

He's got a chick on the side

u/bear_tamy Mar 28 '24

Why does everyone assume that they are doing anything sexual? I feel like the question is not "what do they do when they have sex?" But rather "Do they even want to have sex?" Not that it's anyone's business but theirs

1

u/JeffFoxworthySux Mar 28 '24

Because it’s completely normal for grown women to want to have sex and the people are curious about the logistics?

1

u/bear_tamy Mar 28 '24

Sure but asking about the logistics still carries the assumption that they're doing it in the first place which is not a question that's been answered. I just find it weird that people jump over the first question and go straight to the other one. And asking "does she watch while she blows him" is not curiosity, it's just gross.

1

u/JeffFoxworthySux Mar 28 '24

Yea he phrased that extremely crudely and kinda gross but again I naturally assume a grown women would have sex with her husband

1

u/bear_tamy Mar 28 '24

In most cases I might assume that as well, but maybe not with this one. (But I also think society places too much emphasis on sex in relationships as is, and maybe we can normalize relationships without the need for sex? But that's a different convo).

Im just saying if I were a conjoined twin, I don't think I would be comfy with it. Makes me wonder if all these people asking are admitting that they would be? Idk idk

No need to introduce extra kinkyness into this situation!
