Yeah, we're curious, but polite.
I don't give a shit.
I wanna know how they all fuck.
They’re one downstairs, so they fuck as a couple. But the other twin also gets an orgasm.
What if the other head is not in the mood?
Then they wouldn't do it.
It's hard for us to imagine but they have to live in agreement of everything they do.
They have been doing it since birth so imagine they've worked out a lot of ground rules around this sort of thing.

Which one can see when you will die and which sees how you will die?

The answer is: Yes, Josh can procreate with Brittany in plain Abby's sight, and Abby would never suspect infidelity.
Wikipedia says one set of reproductive organs, and apparently they're fully functional.
So 2 orgasms for the price of 1?
Basically a threesome every night 🤣
All joke aside these girls are bad ass I could not imagine being in their situation. I remember them dating different people for a while which would have been interesting for everyone…. Glad they figured it out with a life partner

So, like, realistically, he's marrying both of them, right? I get that they can't do that legally, but... You can't exactly not, right?
They have found all sorts of coping strategies throughout their lives to assert their individuality, so Brittany would probably say no, she was not married to him and Abby would agree, because he married Abby and they are two different people.
The sisters are both teaching fifth grade in Minnesota
My question is do they get paid double the salary of a single teacher or not?
I kind of laughed when I read this - it would be really awkward if they weren't both teachers.
Abby: "Good morning class, today we're going around the room to talk about what we did over break."
Brittany: "Stupid little shits, I wanted to be a pilot! We could have taken turns sleeping and been a dynamic duo for international travel 😢 "

According to some articles I skimmed, no, since they're doing one job. They're pushing for more though.
They probably get every benefit once and every bill twice.

Brittney is the third wheel. This can’t end well.
I'm really curious about some details. They both meet this guy. He seems interested. Does he just keep talking to one face and ignoring the other? Were he and Abby kissing, and Brittany's all "Ew, Abby, he's gross". When he proposed, was he like "Will you marry me?" And they both say "yes", and he's like "Uh, I just meant the left side"? How do you not end up dating and marrying them both?! Maybe they are in reality, but they can't say that due to polygamy laws?
That's my suspicion. They obviously can't legally have a plural marriage. But then again they could have such a ceremony but only one of the girls' names on the paperwork.
I mean they don't have options for a legal poly marriage or some harem multi-wife practice, and they are registered as two persons in one body, I believe. In reality, yes, he can't marry just one. A weird situation law-wise.
I was going to say "marry the one that has the worst health insurance" and then I realized I'm not as smart as I thought I was.

People are getting so hung up on the sex angle, but the ramifications are more interesting. What if one of them wants to get pregnant but the other doesn't? One consents to go through labor and delivery but the other doesn't?
This is all incredibly complex, but you know if Chang and Eng could make it work...
https://www.ncpedia.org/biography/bunker-twins
"They lived together in one house for nine years, but their wives began to quarrel. Starting in 1852, Sarah and Adelaide lived in separate houses. Chang and Eng agreed to reside in one house for three days, in which that brother made all the decisions without question. They spent the next three days at the other twin’s house, where he made all the decisions. The Bunkers faithfully held to this arrangement the rest of their lives.
The twins returned to touring between 1849 and 1870 to support their large families. Chang and Adelaide had ten children, and Eng and Sarah had eleven children."
Everything I've read or seen about them shows that they unsurprisingly have a lot of ways of coping with each other when they disagree, even when it is a major disagreement. What's interesting is that they use "I" as a single entity when they agree and consider each other separate entities when they don't.
I don't know what both think about pregnancy, but they're school teachers, so they definitely like kids. I wonder if pregnancy is even a possibility? Or maybe unwise if their condition is genetic.
but they’re school teachers, so they definitely like kids
Oh, you sweet summer child.

The closest anyone says is that they share a single set of reproductive organs and are a single entity "below the waist".
Any obstetrician worth their degree would probably consider it a high risk pregnancy due to all the unknown factors. How would an epidural work, for example? No clue. Pregnancy is a stressful event under normal circumstances, no clue what would happen here.
In the Chang and Eng case, the twins were brothers who impregnated separate sisters, so the pregancies themselves were normal (despite being 21 or 22 of them).

They've had really interesting lives, especially in the way they have fiercely asserted their independence. I highly recommend reading more about them.
They are bad-ass.

Do you think they can both give him a BJ at the same time? Or maybe one tosses the salad while the other gobbles the knob?

One in 200,000 births results in conjoined twins? That seems way higher than I thought.
Yes but this is muuuch rarer because its a very clean case of it. Most of them pass away in early childhood.

Not related to the marriage. They work as a 5th grade teacher, do they each get paid or is it one salary?
