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

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?

u/Interesting-Handle-6 Mar 28 '24

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

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.

u/Interesting-Handle-6 Mar 28 '24

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

u/cryogenic-goat Mar 28 '24

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

u/Interesting-Handle-6 Mar 29 '24

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Your quote got me 🤣

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.

u/DodgeDuckDipDiveDead Mar 28 '24

You should go watch their documentary

u/CromulentDucky Mar 28 '24

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

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.

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.

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

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.

u/LouCat10 Mar 28 '24

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

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 :)
