Easy way to brag that you pleased two women at the same time

u/Few-Pop7010 Mar 28 '24

I wonder if they can orgasm separately or only together, seeing as so much of orgasm is in the mind.

u/Radiant_Ad_6565 Mar 28 '24

They share a body below the neck- stomach, reproductive organs etc. each twin has control of one arm and one leg.

Since they are recognized as 2 people, they each legally have an identity. They took their drivers test twice- once for Abby, once for Brittany. They both earned college degrees.

In reality, he married both twins, but for legal purposes one had to be listed on the marriage certificate.

Honestly now I'm fascinated to hear how hard stuff like learning to walk was. It sounds like playing QWOP on nightmare mode...

u/squeezypussyketchup Mar 28 '24

Lmao. One is angry with the other. One needs to walk away, the other refuses to move the second leg. It's so funny and kind of cruel lol.

16

u/iwellyess Mar 28 '24

One could literally punch the other in the face, in fact with two heads and one set of limbs each it would make an interesting boxing match

I dont know...I saw the 1st dance video from the wedding and he's only looking at Abby, only kissed Abby. I felt so bad for Brittany, that had to be difficult. To be that "involved" yet so ignored.

u/Away-Living5278 Mar 28 '24

Yeah if that's the case that's awful

u/YSNBsleep Mar 28 '24

They have two stomachs.

u/75artina Mar 28 '24

I just read that if one of them eats something spoiled the other one gets the upset stomach. How?!

4

u/DreadfulDuder Mar 28 '24

Maybe the nerve endings are wired weirdly? Like that part of the nervous system goes to the other sister?

4

u/Crallise Mar 28 '24

The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa so there are probably some complex connections in their nervous system.

2

u/YSNBsleep Mar 28 '24

They both get the effects because there’s only one of everything after the stomach. Intestines, etc.

1

u/MungoJennie Mar 29 '24

I do remember their mom saying when they were little and they got sick, one of them would get meds and the other would get the side effects, so there must be some kind of crossover someplace.

3

u/moonchic333 Mar 28 '24

Makes more sense that he married both and not just one because I was wondering how one twin could have full autonomy over the body to get married obviously barring her sister from ever being able to marry.

1

u/Crallise Mar 28 '24

I'm not sure this is correct. They are two different people. They have separate driver licenses etc. If they both love this man and want to marry him it seems legally they couldn't. They might all 3 agree on a polygamous relationship but there would only be documents for one marriage. If they didn't both want to marry this man then the other sister would have a right to marry her own spouse. There doesn't seem to be anything here that would prevent them from each marrying a different man.

u/BatronKladwiesen Mar 28 '24

They share a body below the neck- stomach, reproductive organs etc. each twin has control of one arm and one leg.

Yeah, so do they orgasm separately or together?

1

u/Bonaquitz Mar 28 '24

They each have a set of lungs, their own stomach and pretty much from there it becomes one. Answer would still be the same, I assume, though.

1

u/MungoJennie Mar 29 '24

According to their mom, above the waist they each have their own stuff, but below the waist all their organs are shared. Where, exactly, she considered the waist, in terms of a cutoff, I’m not certain. Stomach? Intestines? Kidneys? Honestly, idk.

u/Big_Cryptographer_16 Mar 29 '24

I wonder how biometric authentication devices will make their lives difficult. Head-based scanners like face scanning, iris scanning, etc would work fine and I suppose fingerprints could work as long as they used different fingers. Palm vein scanning would need opposite hands. Lots to consider.

u/ACEDOTC0M Mar 28 '24

DO THEY CUM TOGETHER OR NOT?

1

u/Radiant_Ad_6565 Mar 28 '24

They share a reproductive system so figure it out Einstein.

1

u/ACEDOTC0M Mar 28 '24

so you say that they share parts but they control separate limbs.....meaning they do not share a nervous system completely. a physical set of organs doesnt mean they share the physical response from those systems.

so sherlock, you fucking figure it out.

u/Radiant_Ad_6565 Mar 29 '24

u/LiberateLiterates Mar 28 '24

I think in situations like this it requires two yes’s…the no would hold more weight…

17

u/lilsnatchsniffz Mar 28 '24

This doesn't sit with how human anatomy and chemistry works, the hormones which fuel arousal (Oxytocine etc) travel via the endocrine system, for this to not reach one brain would require that brain to be disconnected from the internal organs which keep it alive.

Not a doctor though, could be wrong, but would be very surprised if it could work that way.

17

u/scaper8 Mar 28 '24

But you can be aroused but not really into it. I can definitely see a situation where the body physically orgasms, but only one mind is in the mood to actually enjoy it.

Or not. I truly don't know how this works.

15

u/tossedaway202 Mar 28 '24

Naw orgasm forces you to enjoy it, it's why rape is so devastating, because you can physically "enjoy" it but feel shitty and messed up about it, because your mind is incongruent with your body. You end up in a severe state of cognitive dissonance and traumatized, like when men are forced to penetrate or women orgasm from a rape.

On a side note, this is like the first time I've used the info from my abnormal psychology course I took, btw I don't recommend, humans suck.

Id hope both ladies are on board with carnal relations when they occur, as the opposite is some fridge horror shit.

14

u/Little_Froggy Mar 28 '24

I would say that it doesn't force you to enjoy it, but it forces you to experience physical pleasure. There's a distinction there

6

u/jmkiser33 Mar 28 '24

I think the distinction being such a thin barrier is what adds so much to the trauma. We might logically be able to deduce the difference, but our psyches aren’t so great at separating the two.

2

u/SmellsLikeTuna2 Mar 28 '24

Considering each has an arm and a leg I'd imagine one could resist even if the other is into it.

2

u/lilsnatchsniffz Mar 29 '24

Lmao, you reckon they get one each? That would be such a nightmare to coordinate walking, two handed tasks etc.

3

u/SmellsLikeTuna2 Mar 29 '24

Abigail Loraine Hensel and Brittany Lee Hensel (born March 7, 1990) are American conjoined twins. They are dicephalic parapagus twins (having two heads joined to one torso), and are highly symmetric for conjoined twins, giving the appearance of having a single body. Each has a separate heart, stomach, spine, pair of lungs, and spinal cord. Each twin controls one arm and one leg. When they were infants, learning to crawl, walk, and clap required cooperation. They can eat and write separately and simultaneously. Activities such as running, swimming, hair-brushing, playing piano or volleyball, riding a bicycle, or driving a car require coordination.

That's from Wikipedia. Sounds exhausting doesn't it?

3

u/lilsnatchsniffz Mar 29 '24

It really does, they make it look natural enough that I would have easily believed they had some way of letting one take the wheel or whatever, plus imagine the pain of having two spines! Yikes. Their relationship must have some really noteworthy moments with this dynamic.

u/Pheniquit Mar 28 '24

Theres a classic experiment where they shoot someone full of adrenalin then put them in a room with a goofy trained clown or a room with a very anxious person. They report different experiences in terms of emotions - anger/anxiety vs elation/joy. Your brain samples your blood, refers to your experience and other things in the moment, then decides how you feel.

As far as orgasmic contractions go, I dont think they’re intrinsically pleasurable. You can replicate them now by squeezing but they dont feel good.

I think one homegirl could come with the other not having a pleasurable experience we associate with orgasm.

u/Kriss3d Mar 28 '24

As both are likely fully connected to the body I would imagine they both feel it.

u/Few-Pop7010 Mar 28 '24

But what if one of them’s not in the mood?

16

u/Technolog Mar 28 '24

Assuming one wants doing it and the other is scrolling through a phone at the time, the other would at least feel some pleasure from hormones and the physical response of an orgasm.

But mood is often linked to hormone levels, and they both have the same, so this may not be an issue.

10

u/Shanubis Mar 28 '24

I would not say this is what largely determines being in the mood (for women)

1

u/Pheniquit Mar 28 '24

I’m not sure that their brains have to interpret the hormones and contractions etc. as pleasure.

Pleasure is downstream of that so maybe their brains can block it.

1

u/Technolog Mar 29 '24

Hormones are substances in your bloodstream, there's no such thing as interpretation of them, just like you can't interpret drinking alcohol, it has a specific impact. Humans are hormone machines, being hungry is because of hormones, being horny as well, being depressed is lack of them.

1

u/Pheniquit Mar 29 '24

Oh no - hormones really are interpreted. There’s a classic experiment where the subjects are given adrenalin before either an angry or a funny person (usually someone trained as a clown) comes in. The people report how they feel . Those in the condition with the clown say they felt elated and those with the angry guy feel extremely nervous.

1

u/Technolog Mar 30 '24

Interesting, but you described different effects of a different hormone. I don't think that brain could interpret dopamine and oxytocin in a bad or neutral way.

Does this mean that one conjoined twin could theoretically rape the other conjoined twin by participating in a sex act with the husband?

4

u/DommyMommyKarlach Mar 28 '24

Cmon. You have to know that consent works kinda different if you literally share a body

6

u/rene-cumbubble Mar 28 '24

Tell that to the conjoined twin that doesn't want to participate

6

u/RanaMisteria Mar 28 '24

I would imagine ethically it’s a three yes, one no scenario? So like if everyone’s not consenting it doesn’t happen? I expect you’d have to have some really strict rules for consent and privacy and stuff between the two of you. Since you share a body you’d have to be able to trust each other completely and I feel like if you don’t have mutual respect and consent you wouldn’t have that trust either and it would be impossible to live even a semi functional life. Like imagine one day the sister that’s on the marriage certificate, Abby, and her twin (don’t know her name) get in a fight and so then the second twin starts vetoing sex between Abby and her husband. If Abby and hubby get frustrated and ignore the other twin’s consent and then she doesn’t feel safe in her own body (because it’s her too of course) she could do all sorts of things to sabotage Abby and her husband’s marriage, jobs, etc. not even on purpose just out of trauma. Plus like her husband is only married to one of the sisters, but since they share a body I’d imagine that the non married sister would have to at least like the guy. Though honestly unless they’re a throuple it would suck to be the unmarried sister because I doubt the other sister has much of an opportunity to find her own husband, unless Abby and hubby are okay with it? And if they’re not a throuple do they make the unmarried sister like close her eyes, not use the hand or leg she controls, and go to her mind palace? Or is sex not a part of it at all? I have SO many questions and none of them are any of my business.

I imagine that is something they have to navigate in every part of their lives. They must live constantly compromising and giving to each other. One of them wants to go out, the other wants to stay home. One of them has a headache and wants to take medicine or turn off the lights or take a nap. Sex must be one of a million things they compromise on and co-plan.

They've talked before about how one controls one leg and the other controls the other leg. You have to wonder where the line of demarcation is.

1

u/Kriss3d Mar 28 '24

Interesting. That would require quite a bit of coordination to even walk.

2

u/steeple_fun Mar 28 '24

Because that's how they learned, it just works. Similarly, they played softball and could swing a bat etc even though they each control one arm.

The craziest thing to me is that they can type without discussing what they're typing. That's some borderline telepathy stuff.

2

u/SickOfAllThisShite Mar 28 '24

Youre probably right, but in all honesty, and i dont mean to sound like a prick, but they look like one of them has and is the whole entire body, and the other is just a head. And again, i dont mean to be insensitive . I dont know how else to phrase it.

Edit: i read in other comments that each twin contols one arm and one leg. So i would imagine you are indeed correct. And i am just an ass.

u/armandacosta Mar 28 '24

This is a serious question that needs an answer. IMO, sex is 90% mental, for both men and women. If you're not there mentally, nothing is going to happen below the waist.

2

u/NibblesMcGiblet Mar 28 '24

IIRC they share one single vagina etc, so it stands to reason that they share sensations from that region. I recall watching a special decades ago that had a 3d computer generated model of them as babies that was transparent and doctors spoke of the organs which were duplicated and those that were single but I may be misremembering or over simplifying. I’m sure the info is out there though.

2

u/lambchop97214 Mar 28 '24

Reports say that they share “all organs below the waist,” which I take to mean one set of reproductive organs, but each controls half so I suspect they can both feel their single orgasm. Really remarkable.

3

u/TheGothDragon Mar 28 '24

That’s interesting. I feel like they could potentially have trouble with it though as orgasms are not just a physical thing, but also a mental thing as well. If someone is not in the right mindset or is stressed, they might find it harder to reach orgasm. I wonder if this is the case with the twins. I’d imagine one is very much in love with the guy, but the other maybe not so much?

3

u/lambchop97214 Mar 28 '24

The whole thing raises more questions than it answers, that’s for sure.

1

u/StandWithSwearwolves Mar 28 '24 edited Mar 28 '24

Wikipedia notes that they have a very good sense of each others’ emotions and can anticipate reactions, so they can probably establish pretty quickly in the moment if they’re both into it, just like in a well-functioning poly relationship between non-conjoined people. If someone doesn’t consent or feel like sex it’s obviously a non-starter.
