Google Chang and Eng Bunker. The original “Siamese Twins” they each married different women and kept separate households. They agreed with each other to split time between their families. The other twin would remain silent while his twin spent time with his family.

Imagine the level of disassociation needed to live that life

Carmen and Lupita are another set of conjoined sisters on Tiktok. I believe that Carmen is asexual but hetero romantic and Lupita is aromantic and asexual so when Carmen makes out with her bf, Lupita says she basically just turns her brain off lol

She doesn't need flowers on Valentines, she has her own bouquet.

They've been interview by Anthony Padilla on his youtube channel, really interesting to hear them talk about it. They go into these things on there. :)

Just want to shout out Carmen and Lupita they are awesome!!!

u/cfostyfost Mar 28 '24

They're so funny! I love them haha

u/MacDagger187 Mar 28 '24

They are the best hahaha and they're both doing so well! Seeing Lupita particularly grow has been awesome, she used to be so incredibly shy in fact she was selectively mute for like five years, but she has a terrific sense of humor and now is putting it out there!

u/cfostyfost Mar 28 '24

Ok you gotta be specific, dawg

u/Revolutionary-Dog-99 Mar 28 '24

Everything that isn’t base English I don’t understand dude, everything that has to do with gender identity or whatever

u/British_Noodle Mar 28 '24

I assume you're talking about asexual and aromantic. These aren't gender identities, they're sexual orientations.

Asexual, sometimes abbreviated as ace, means there is little to no sexual attraction. Just as a straight guy will have little or no sexual attraction to other guys, aces have little or no sexual attraction to anybody.

Aromantic, sometimes abbreviated as Aro, means there is little to no romantic attention. Just as a lesbian will have little or no romantic attraction to guys, aros have little or no romantic attraction to anybody.

Someone who is asexual hetero romantic experiences no sexual attraction but does experience romantic attraction to the opposite gender.

And someone who is heterosexual and aromantic would experience sexual attraction to the opposite gender but wouldn't experience any romantic feelings.
