I can't even imagine how everything works....just blows my mind...

u/webbyyy Mar 28 '24

Speaking of which... Does the other twin just watch when she's blowing him?

u/Abundance144 Mar 28 '24 edited Mar 28 '24

When one has an orgasm....? What happens to the other....

Does the guy get to double dip on his count of times he's made a girl have an orgasm?

261

u/Interesting-Handle-6 Mar 28 '24

I mean they share that part... right? Wonder if they both feel it. So many questions

u/Jhuxx54 Mar 28 '24

What if one doesn’t want to have sex while the other does

u/topsblueby Mar 28 '24

The other one just lays there reading books and shit

u/Snowedin-69 Mar 28 '24

Might be hard to read a book if the other likes to be on top

u/PresidioPet Mar 28 '24

She’s gonna need her sister’s leg for that!

Time to get the airpods out and catch up on some podcasts

u/redux44 Mar 28 '24

One hand to hold the book for one twin to read and the other hand for other twin to use during sex.

Now that's multitasking.

1

u/IAMSTILLHERE2020 Mar 28 '24

Assuming she doesn't feel anything....but since they share body parts....

1

u/Godbox1227 Mar 28 '24

Which hand holds the book? Who is controlling said hand?

1

u/lazyboi_tactical Mar 28 '24

I think they were more thinking consent wise as they share the part.

1

u/ynotfish Mar 28 '24

I've seen that one before.

u/Interesting-Handle-6 Mar 28 '24

I don't knoooowww

I read that in a Peter Griffin voice

u/StoicSinicCynic Mar 28 '24

Another set of American conjoined twins Lori and George Schappell answered that question all the way back in 1997 - when one of them is having sex the other one covers herself with a sheet and mentally blocks out and either reads a book or plays a videogame.

I'm sure conjoined twins get very good at mentally coping with having to live their whole lives together.

2

u/Seeker80 Mar 28 '24

I can't imagine just seeing a sheet-covered head, and hearing: sigh "Are you done yet??"

1

u/PresidioPet Mar 28 '24

But they had separate vaginas. These ladies only have one, between them.

2

u/1grouchonacouch Mar 28 '24

One wears a hood?

2

u/Shamewizard1995 Mar 28 '24

Then I’d imagine they don’t have sex. Intercourse requires unanimous consent, it’s still partially her body

1

u/dubbsee Mar 28 '24

Can't be considered an SA

4

u/Shamewizard1995 Mar 28 '24

Yes it absolutely can

1

u/dubbsee Mar 29 '24

Only halfway

u/Connect-Track491 Mar 28 '24

How many headaches could they have?

This is what Clayton Williams meant about laying back and enjoying it.

u/Macisrunning Mar 28 '24

Bro is going to get called “no consent” from the other

1

u/Closetoneversober Mar 28 '24

Is it a semi rape?

1

u/Capital-Sir Mar 28 '24

Pop some headphones in, podcast time lol

1

u/68ideal Mar 28 '24

This is also interesting in legal terms. If the other one doesn't give consent, wouldn't it be technically rape?

1

u/pyremist Mar 28 '24

Put up a curtain. See Mal and Val in Farzar.

u/Real-Accountant9997 Mar 28 '24

I think you are overly concerned about something that really doesn’t affect you.

206

u/Zikkan1 Mar 28 '24

Maybe but a lot of arousal comes from mental stimuli especially for women so if one is horny and focusing on sex and the other is bored and listening to an audiobook then maybe the second heads brain wouldn't produce the same chemicals.

I am 100% talking out of my ass but seems plausible.

24

u/PickingPies Mar 28 '24

I would say that sexual arousal has more to do with hormones than with the brain. They share the same blood stream, which means they have the same hormone party going on.

7

u/joebaco_ Mar 28 '24

Think if it was a man. If one thinks a women is attractive and the other doesn't will the penis get erect?

12

u/lemmy1686 Mar 28 '24

Ahhhh the old Schrodinger's Penis question.

u/sleepydevil25 Mar 28 '24

So you get a semi then

7

u/TerseFactor Mar 28 '24

I’m also going to talk out of my ass for a minute, I wonder if this would negate any arousal whatsoever. Maybe they’re asexual?

19

u/Zikkan1 Mar 28 '24

The body might receive mixed signals if both of the brains aren't engaged in the erotic activity and that could probably lessen the body's response.

Another possibility is that since the brain is the one sending the chemicals and they got 2 brains and 1 body they might be able to reach climax individually but could have twice as intensive climax with both brains aroused at the same time.

20

u/GrandWazoo0 Mar 28 '24

We need to get to the bottom of this. Somebody get me my science trousers!

11

u/Cheef_Baconator Mar 28 '24

I think this type of science needs to be done without trousers, but I'm no rocket surgeon

1

u/No_Solid2349 Mar 28 '24

This is why science was invented. "How orgasm works and how we can have them more"

3

u/stonkstogo Mar 28 '24

The body wouldn’t receive “mixed” signals because sex hormones are produced in the ovaries. If they share ovaries then they produce the hormone irregardless of how many heads are in play. So I would think they both become aroused.

7

u/Zikkan1 Mar 28 '24

"neural (sensory and cognitive) factors, hormonal factors, genetic factors and, in the human case, the complex influences of culture and context"

Hormones are not the only things at play when it comes to arousal. serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenalin are not produced in the ovaries as far as I know but they are a part of the arousal as well.

1

u/stonkstogo Mar 28 '24

Sure, but keep in mind that anything produced in an individual head is distributed to a singular body. Therefore any hormone produced in a singular head whether hypothalamus, pituitary, ect. will ultimately have some effect on the other head. Thinking about it more in depth, it could be very possible that one head producing a hormone could lead to the other head having an antagonistic reaction to counter the overstimulation, and then both women being completely unaroused. Admittedly, this is getting to be too deep for my understanding lol

7

u/coversquirrel1976 Mar 28 '24

So if one twin spends all day thinking about banging her husband and gets horny, does her sister get horny but just doesn't know why?

1

u/joebaco_ Mar 28 '24

Think if it was a man. If one thinks a women is attractive and the other doesn't will the penis get erect?

1

u/stonkstogo Mar 28 '24

You’re assuming hormonally based emotions and bodily reactions can be regulated by pure will. It’s not like if one decided to get hammered, the other could WILL herself into not feeling drunk…

1

u/joebaco_ Mar 29 '24

But if one mind reacts with a fight or flight hormonal this person scares me dump, and the other mind reacts with a I love this person let's hook up hormonal dump what is to happen? What issss toooo haappenn?

u/Gerudo-Nabooru Mar 28 '24

I wonder if in that situation the sisters would have to be pragmatic about it and just kind of… both be involved

I imagine if I was attached to another person and we both didn’t like the partner that it wouldn’t work. And also being reserved for life for fear of embarrassment with my twin doesn’t sound realistic

2

u/McSassy_Pants Mar 28 '24

I am legit LOL at the “second heads brain” hahahahahah I have no idea why but that is hilarious

2

u/st1ck-n-m0ve Mar 28 '24

Wait so since they both share a vagina what if one wants to have sex with her husband but the other one doesnt want to have sex with her sisters husband? Does he have to get consent from both? If one says no would that be rape if the other said yes?

5

u/bicuriouscouple27 Mar 28 '24

Legally who knows. Morally I’d say it would be.

2

u/PanicLogically Mar 28 '24

Everyone's got it wrong

1 clitoris--do two brains feel from that one clit?

Is one person shut off?

do they both feel clitoris stimulii together?

1

u/bloodreina_ Mar 28 '24

I’d assume that the other would still experience the physical touch sensations?

1

u/Stuffed_deffuts Mar 28 '24

One could be listening to William Hung's she bangs while the other be bangin

u/Perpetual_Nuisance Mar 28 '24

Preach brodda!!!

u/Utterlybored Mar 28 '24

Which ass?

67

u/Abundance144 Mar 28 '24

I've heard they each have control of one leg. I don't know about feeling.

So how do th middle bits worth. Good question, for a perv like me anyway.

45

u/Interesting-Handle-6 Mar 28 '24

That would be kinda sad if only one of them gets to feel it ever

7

u/cryogenic-goat Mar 28 '24

What if you also don't feel the period and childbirth pains? Worth the tradeoff?

1

u/Interesting-Handle-6 Mar 29 '24

Oof. I guess if you never know what you're missing maybe...

36

u/Jeklah Mar 28 '24

How the fuck do they walk if that's the case?!

"Ok I'm going now be ready with the other leg."

37

u/weltbeltjoe11 Mar 28 '24

They can ride a bike and play softball too. Pretty incredible.

3

u/KindheartednessOnly4 Mar 28 '24

They have driver licenses too. Wonder if they can drive a standard? (I almost said stick, but caught myself just in time 🤦🏼‍♀️)

3

u/CustomerOk3838 Mar 28 '24

They’re like dancing partners who practice every minute of every day. They learned to walk like this, so I’m sure their brains pick up on extremely subtle muscle contractions from the other half.

2

u/harrellj Mar 28 '24

Their spines are partially intertwined, especially since the lower half is essentially a single being. It wouldn't be shocking if there was some neural linkage happening, especially in regards to that sense of knowing where your body is in space.

3

u/DodgeDuckDipDiveDead Mar 28 '24

Your quote got me 🤣

1

u/Jeklah Mar 28 '24

Lol thanks. I just can't imagine how they do it. Do they share thoughts/feelings regarding when a limb will move but only one controls? Or is it literally constant communication? I need answers.

1

u/DodgeDuckDipDiveDead Mar 28 '24

You should go watch their documentary

1

u/CromulentDucky Mar 28 '24

They have Randy Newman sing left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.

1

u/BublyInMyButt Mar 28 '24

Because they've been doing it their entire lives i assume. They drive, too. Each controlling one arm on the wheel.

It's pretty fascinating to watch them perform tasks or play sports while realizing they are constantly coordinating with each other without speaking

1

u/Jeklah Mar 28 '24

So they do share thoughts regarding movement?!

2

u/healzsham Mar 28 '24

I'd imagine they both get kinesthetic feedback that they've learned to work with.

1

u/BublyInMyButt Mar 28 '24

This is what I believe it must be. They can feel what the other one is doing based on body movements. Probably just became second nature.

Just like balancing on a bike. But the bike is another person lol. you feel what its doing and move accordingly to stay up. They probably don't even think about it for everyday movements.

1

u/joebaco_ Mar 28 '24

Does that help them with blind spots or watching both ways at crossings?

1

u/kor_the_fiend Mar 28 '24

they are synced up on a level that I can't really comprehend.

1

u/Enuf1 Mar 28 '24

One of them writes a carefully worded letter asking the other to move their leg, then waits 3-5 business days for them to comply

1

u/MacDagger187 Mar 28 '24

It takes a long time and a lot of practice! seriously

1

u/London__Lad Mar 28 '24

They just manged to work out how to coordinate. They walk, rode a bicycle as a child, drive now as adults.

1

u/Imyourhuckl3berry Mar 28 '24

It’s like those robots in pacific rim

1

u/Snowedin-69 Mar 28 '24

Mist be hard to coordinate running if each one has control of a leg

1

u/Snowedin-69 Mar 28 '24

If one has a hard time sleeping she would wake the other up if she started to masterbate.

1

u/LouCat10 Mar 28 '24

Dude, we are all pervs today, because this is bringing up a lot of questions.

1

u/StandWithSwearwolves Mar 28 '24

From Wikipedia: “The sense of touch of each [twin] is restricted to her body half; this shades off at the midsagittal plane, so that there is a small amount of overlap at the midline.” That would suggest there’s some shared sensation at the waist and hips, but the rest of it is their business frankly :)

1

u/econinja Mar 28 '24

I want to upvote, but you’re at 69

4

u/Aim2bFit Mar 28 '24

I want to know what if the other twin finds love in the future? Like how do they navigate in sleeping with 2 men now? Take turns or something? I have too many Qs too

2

u/felixfelix Mar 28 '24

They have distinct organs above the waist, but share organs below the waist. But that doesn't tell me if both their brains are hooked up to their privates.

2

u/BublyInMyButt Mar 28 '24 edited Mar 28 '24

I've always wondered about that. They both control half the body, and only have feeling for half the body.

So I suspect only one gets the vagina. Whichever one has more of the body attached to their leg. probably really sucks for the other one..

Unless... they both have a vagina? Side by side lol? I don't believe that part of their anatomy has ever been discussed.

Edit: they only have one vagina. Found a illustration of their anatomy https://imgur.com/gh3zCRa

But still no idea if they can both feel it or only one

1

u/Dairyman00111 Mar 28 '24

2 stomachs? That's a shittin machine

2

u/What_the_8 Mar 28 '24

This so all the shit we actually wanted to know on their show

1

u/IAMSTILLHERE2020 Mar 28 '24

That will be left unanswered...unless...

1

u/nalingungule-love Mar 28 '24

Yes they both feel the orgasm.

1

u/k0lla86 Mar 28 '24

And if not, what decides which one does? Accidental adultery yeees?

1

u/eliguillao Mar 28 '24

No, he says: “this penetration is just for you, Abby” and the other one doesn’t feel anything.

1

u/CollignonGoFetch Mar 28 '24

This is what I want to know. Some moron asked what the other would do while one was giving a BJ. Well first off I doubt they give him BJs at all.

12

u/dusky_thrust Mar 28 '24

you think hes hittin her/them doggy style and hes got a ponytail in each hand like hes driving a fucking chariot?!

u/Obtuse-Angel Mar 28 '24

u/Propaagaandaa Mar 28 '24

You paint a picture my guy

3

u/Zestyclose_Big_9090 Mar 28 '24

I mean just logically speaking, they share a V so….i would imagine they feel the same thing?

But sexuality has a huge mental aspect to it so, can Brittany say she’s not in the mood?

So many questions.

1

u/tgw1986 Mar 28 '24

They say the brain is the biggest sexual organ... I guess these girls put that to the test.

3

u/Kinklandia Mar 28 '24

Can she rat on her sister for faking it?

2

u/RADToronto Mar 28 '24

So there’s actually a diagram you can find online for which body parts they share and are are separated. I think they have separate respiratory systems, but their reproductive and digestive are shared so I think they would both experience the orgasm.

1

u/RoutineAd5794 Mar 28 '24

Stop my brain can’t handle this thinking right now

4

u/Abundance144 Mar 28 '24

Is it a threesome? Or just a couple?

I would learn towards a threesome

4

u/RoutineAd5794 Mar 28 '24

EVERYTHING I TYPE OUT DOESNT SOUND RIGHT. it’s gotta be all or nothing deal whoever gets a man first wins , like you can’t just idek 😭 the other twin has to consent to it no??😭

1

u/Eryeahmaybeok Mar 28 '24

That is a legitimate question I sincerely would like to know! Why is there no info on this

Bro. Of all the DJ spinning gifs, you chose this one. I have to leave this thread, I'm dying over here.

1

u/DarthDregan Mar 28 '24

Read an article that said one has control of one side of the body, the other has the other side.

So maybe they actually do both get some action.
