In a candid interview, a pair of 19-year-old conjoined twins have revealed the unique challenges they face when it comes to their sex lives. The twins, who go by the names Mia and Lia for privacy reasons, shared that they are connected at the abdomen and share the same v@gina, but one identifies as a lesbian while the other is straight.
The sisters explained that they have decided not to engage in any s£xual activity, including masturbation, as it is too “uncomfortable” for them. “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,” Mia said in an online Q&A.
Despite having sexual urges, the twins have agreed that they will not have s£x, as the risk of pregnancy is too high and could be life-threatening for them. “If we got pregnant there’s a good chance we would die,” Mia explained.
Instead, the twins plan to be intimate with their partners in other ways, such as k¡ssing, hugging, and cuddling. Mia revealed that she had a girlfriend in the past, but they split up when she went to university. Lia, on the other hand, has had a long-distance boyfriend during their teenage years.
The sisters’ openness about their unique situation comes after it was revealed that another set of conjoined twins, Abby Hensel and Brittany Hensel, had secretly tied the knot in 2021. Mia and Lia wanted to share their story to provide insight into the complexities of navigating s£x and relationships as conjoined twins.
“Other conjoined twins, ie Abby and Brittany, may have more intimate interactions or less, normally yes s£x alongside your sibling is weird being a conjoined twin is a completely different experience. What works for them is good,” Mia said.
The twins’ story highlights the unique challenges and personal decisions faced by individuals in extraordinary circumstances, as they navigate the complexities of their shared bodies and differing s£xual orientations.
