A pair of conjoined twins answered a few questions about their s3xu'al lives after disclosed that one is a lesbian and the other is straight.
The sisters, who went by Mia and Lia for privacy concerns, are 19 years old and claim they have never had s3x.
The sisters claimed on Reddit that they had chosen to tell their story after learning that conjoined twin Abby Hensel, 33, had secretly wed boyfriend Josh Bowling, 33, in 2021.
In the AMA (Ask Me Anything) subreddit, Mia and Lia explained why they no longer masturbate because it's too 'uncomfortable' for them as they share the 'same vag!na.'
All right, background details now. We go by Lia and Mia, which are similar but not our actual names, the post began.
'We are both nineteen. Two distinct brains, two hearts, four(ish) lungs (our left and right lungs are kind of fused so they are more like a third than a fourth), two livers, two stomachs, and then below that we share our intestines, bladder, and reproductive system are all united at the abdomen.
'So yes, the same vagina! We each have one arm and leg we can control respectively.'
The twins then revealed how their bodies were formed and who held the greater strengths.
'My body has crushed Lia's lungs and she also has significant curvature in her spine.'
It was also revealed that Mia was the one writing it.
'Yes, Lia is straight and I am a lesbian. I had a girlfriend, but we broke up when I started college, and she had a boyfriend who lived far away when we were teenagers, the post read.
The sisters then pointed out that they were exposing their life online so that anyone could ask them questions.
The twins called masturbation 'uncomfortable' when questioned about it.
'We have masturbated in the past, but we've agreed not to do it since it was too uncomfortable for us,' the sisters said.
Another stranger on the web questioned if masturbating felt like 'incest' to the twins.
They replied: 'With masturbation, it wasn't that it felt like incest, it was more like: imagine this. Imagine someone touching your shoulder, incessantly. It would be pretty annoying and weird right? That's what it's like if Lia touches our vagina, it feels like someone messing around with your body.'
Given they shared a vagina, they were asked if they both felt aroused.
"On the arousal aspect, kind of? You may kind of sense that your genitals are excited without being aroused yourself since arousal is a complicated hormonal communication between the brain and the genitals. Same with other things. Like I can tell when she's hungry even if I'm not, or when she's anxious because of her heart rate and I'm not,' she said.
One person asked: 'So do you two have a discussion if you plan to have anything physical happen with a partner?'
That's the thing, said the twins who were linked at the hip. Though my sister and I both feel arousal and have s3xual impulses, we decided early on that we would not have s3x because it would be too risky for us both and would be really uncomfortable. We would probably die if we became pregnant.
'However, we will still be intimate with our partners. I would kiss and hug and cuddle with my girlfriend. But she was asexual conveniently so it was not an issue for us.
'But, this is just what works for us. Other conjoined twins, ie Abby and Brittany, may have more intimate interactions or less, normally yes sex alongside your sibling is weird being a conjoined twin is a completely different experience. What works for them is good.'
'My sister has not given oral and I really doubt she or I ever would,' Mia wrote in the post.
Another person questioned: "You said that you would prefer asexual partners and that you have masturbated in the past and still have s3xual cravings. Is that to say that you will never again satiate your s3xual cravings?
'How are you ok with that? Lol, is orgasming together that awkward?'
The sisters responded: 'Haha it's not emotionally awkward we've experienced life together that's not any grosser than anything else. It's more just physically uncomfortable. I can feel when my vagina is touched, and it would be horrifying to have somebody who I'm not in a relationship with touch my private parts and same goes with Lia. Imagine having someone touching and playing with your private parts that isn't even involved with you at all. Yeah.
'And yes we plan to not satisfy our sexual urges. If nuns can do it, so can we lol.'
