Has anyone seen this show??? Does this send anyone else's mind into a frenzy with millions of crazy questions that arrise when you think about the lives of these chicks???
If one consents to sex, is it a half rape to have sex with the one that doesn't?
Can one of them be an Atheist and make the other convinced that their other head is dooming them to Hell by being an accomplice??
How is one of them afraid of heights and the other one not?
Why do they mouth the words in sequence as the other one speaks them?
It's so weird!!!!

I cannot deny that dicephalic parapagus twins (or any other type of conjoined twins) raises many questions,
but it seems unappropriate to ask them in public, since their lives must be really complicated (due to their disfigurement).

Inappropriate as some may think it to be to discuss the implications of their predicament, I imagine they would find it more so offensive to be refferred to as a disfigurement, and would rather it be talked about in the open (so long as its in good taste) rather than hear the whispering murmers that they probably face daily. I think they just want to feel normal, but until people fully understand, they will be viewed as a question mark, not so much normal. Something only seems strange and weird when you don't know anything about it.
Think if you started a new job and you had a big scar on your face, wouldn't it be better to openly answer all the questions and stifle the rumors rather than let others conjure their own explanations and theories?
It's probably a case by case basis. Hopefully they're not offended should they stumble on this thread, but should they find it, I would be facinated read any answers they could provide.

I have to agree Sailor. I don't view this a "disfigurement" at all. They are actually lovely girls. I have seen a documentary on them and they function quite well in day to day activities and, even though one controls one side of the body and the other control the other side, they can drive, walk, dance and function as a single unit. Quite impressive, really. I think an open conversation with them would be absolutely fascinating.

Yeah! I understand why the show has such a fluffy approach, but I think a large majority of us are mature enough to already be over the external oddity of their condition. I want to know what makes them unique between the ears and what implications it has on our own intellectual states. It's absolutely mind boggling.

It is actually two half-bodies that are completely dependent on each other.

Given the image source I have to ask if it was published on 1 April. This is the kind of conjoined twins that only appears in cartoons.
What might the show be?

I think if I was them (one of them?) what I'd hate the most was sleeping. Can you imagine trying to sleep if the other wants to watch some tele or read or rub one out or go on line or ...
If one of them masterbates, since they share from the waist down, do they both get off? If one of them is better at it than the other does she defer to her expertise?
Will they each seek their own mate? Doesn't seem likely. But what if their shared mate likes one of them better than the other? Hell maybe they should just marry each other and have threesomes.
Mind boggling.
