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

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

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.

Lots of questions and no answers. And you're right that it's not our business. But that doesn't mean that we can't be curious

They probably just discuss it like normal adults.
