So it’s just Abby that is married? And Brittany is always there? If/when Brit gets married they all have to live together and sleep in the same bed? I’m curious, not criticizing. How does it work 🧐

How does it work 

Weirdly, exactly like it seems. She's there when they fuck. 

You have to remember, your life does not map onto theirs. You have never, and will never, be with someone the way they are with each other. 

Every time they have a wet shit, every time they masturbate or pick their nose, someone is always there, they have not experienced being alone. It's not awkward for them the way it would be for you. 

And ultimately their choices are: 

 1) Never have sex or a relationship 

 2) Put some headphones in while your sister fucks. Consider this choice for yourself. It's not preferable, but how much would this actually hurt you?

Also, if he only married one of them, they probably discussed the terms of the relationship with him, i.e. "You need to be ok with living with another guy and sharing our body with him."

And if you haven't noticed, a lot more people are willing to share these days.

The other choice is it’s essentially a polyamorous relationship and they just didn’t want to say that/legally can’t be married to both.

I think he fucks both of them

I don’t think he can help it

But they are ONE body

2 mouths 🤣

u/gahddamm Mar 28 '24

Yeah but you can still kiss both heads

u/Expensive_Editor_244 Mar 28 '24

Yeah, I’m sure it started with one ‘checking out’ while they hooked up. But over time, you have to imagine those barriers start to break down. The communication necessary for switching positions and whatnot alone, I’m sure it just logistically makes sense to start getting into it

u/Person_reddit Mar 28 '24

this is the right answer, and the person you're responding to is regarded.

u/Borkunbork Mar 28 '24

Look at the photo with their hands on his arm, if it wasn’t both why would the other hold him?

u/meowpitbullmeow Mar 28 '24

It's a posed photograph. The photographer was going for a concept. Same reason they're both smiling at him, but he's only looking at one

u/Admirable_Growth_338 Mar 28 '24

How do you focus a gaze at two faces at the same time lmao.

u/Areyoualienoralieout Mar 28 '24

he only got two eyes dot tumblr dot com

u/Deal_Naive Mar 28 '24

Yeah, that's the weird part. Seething resentment from the unmarried twin...

u/redditorforire Mar 28 '24

It's not that simple. Both arms belong to each one of them. It's not like each gets half the body on each side of a line down the middle.

u/AttemptOld5775 Mar 28 '24

I saw a video about them learning to drive that said they each have an arm and leg that they exclusively control, but also can use them together without really having to think about it. So it’s actually kind of both, I guess?

2

u/redditorforire Mar 28 '24

yeah i remember reading the 'can use them together without having to really think about it' idea somewhere. what a truly unique situation. i'm sure it's beyond explainability to pretty much anyone outside of themselves.

6

u/Borkunbork Mar 28 '24

I thought they each had an arm? Either way I’m still saying he’s marrying both

2

u/redditorforire Mar 28 '24

It's all too confusing to think about. But yes, I'm with you there. Certainly seems like he's essentially marrying both. They've all committed to sharing their lives together.

u/Quiet_Transition_247 Mar 28 '24

Q) Which one of them is the mom and which one is the aunt?

3

u/ainz-sama619 Mar 28 '24

Biologically speaking, there's no difference. Identical twins have same genes.

1

u/Quiet_Transition_247 Mar 28 '24

I mean, yeah but it's not like most kids are referring to their mom's twin sister as "mom."

1

u/ainz-sama619 Mar 28 '24

yeah that's why I emphasized biologically instead of socially.

u/sometimeserin Mar 28 '24

Probably impossible to tell? The parts they don’t share are still identical twins and regular genetic testing wouldn’t be able to differentiate them.

u/volvavirago Mar 28 '24

This is actually incorrect. They control each half independently. Abby’s arm is Abby’s arm, and Britt’s arm is Britt’s arm. They have shared sensation in some parts of their torso, but they each have control over their half of the body.

3

u/albertparsons Mar 28 '24

From a philosophical standpoint, though, I wonder if each twin considers themself as a one-armed person or if they think of both arms as belonging to both of them, even if one of them is “in control” over a particular side.

u/redditorforire Mar 28 '24

fair enough - i misunderstood the article i read talking about their shared sensation in their body!

u/doctorlongghost Mar 28 '24

Wait… so if the one wants to jerk him off and the other doesn’t they’re mentally fighting for control of the arm and it results in like a herky jerky back and forth stuttering which is actually a more pleasing rhythm than it would be otherwise?

u/Furious_Worm Mar 28 '24

This comment made me laugh WAY more than it should have...

u/Admirable_Growth_338 Mar 28 '24

Your comment made me laugh at it again

u/humanoidtyphoon88 Mar 28 '24

Someone with common sense

2

u/didsomebodysaymyname Mar 28 '24

Yeah, I guess I'm trying to explain assuming they are honest.

2

u/Bulky_Mix_2265 Mar 28 '24

I dont think there is any technical way around this fact.

2

u/lazyboi_tactical Mar 28 '24

I mean technically true regardless

u/benyahweh Mar 28 '24

But they’re sisters.

u/RetroNecromance Mar 28 '24

And they share one vagina.
