Dear Prudence anyone?
Today's first letter: Gross x infinity.
I didn't even think this sort of shiit happened anywhere but in fiction (ie Game of Thrones). Ick.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around this.
I wondered the same thing Buddha did.
Also, the letter reminded me of this story I heard on The Moth podcast a few years ago.
I feel like this would never cross my mind. I know/know of a few sets of twins of both genders that wind up just being roommate spinsters/bachelors because it works for them. Until this moment, I never imagined they were getting freaky.
And now my life will never be the same.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I heard a story on This American Life about an older set of female twins who did absolutely everything the same. They dressed the same, they ate the same meals, had the same stuffed animals (I shuddered at that) on their beds. As odd as I thought they were, it never occurred to me that they might have a sexual relationship. So I doubt these guys' family are in the know.
As weird and off-putting this is, they're not hurting anybody.

I don't think I'd ever suspect that twin brothers were lovers.

I know. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this happens. I guess being a gay teen is a very confusing time, but I cannot fathom wanting to do things with my brother.

This is true, they're not hurting anyone, but I can't imagine being a mother and my sons telling me they're in love.

I can see why it might upset the family. I think I'd quietly tell the family, but not the close local friends.
Other than that, it's two consenting adults, ya know? I can't get too riled up.
If this were a brother and sister I would be appalled. And while I don't think it's ideal, I am not as appalled with it being 2 brothers. What does that say about me?
Also, it reminds me of the awkward sex scene from TTW.
As a twin, I am especially disgusted at this.
Don't get me wrong, I love my sister, but.. GAH. SICK
eta: I do want to add, that I'm kind with Winged on it being two guys - because even though I find it pretty darn gross, I don't think it's hurting anyone, since they can't produce children or anything. So if they are happy living the rest of their lives together, I think they should.
I would think your reaction is because the physical power balance is gone for same sex situation.
And guys, I'm not saying it's normal and not gross or anything. I'm certain I would be upset as a parent. But if this is what works for them, as a total stranger, I don't feel a huge objection to it.

yeah, the power balance is probably a big part. And then I realize that in that situation I would blame the male. And that seems sexist.
This story makes me
but I don't see anything punishable going on. I don't envy the conversation with their family if that ever occurs.
If it was a boy/girl twin combo I would be
because of the risk that a pregnancy could occur which would blow the lid off the top of the creepy charts.

Touche. Me too. But you know what i mean. You would be there, in traditional doggy style thinking "Gosh, do MY love handles jiggle like that?"
