Bunnies! Yaaaaaaaaay!

The distinction I've been trying to draw was between non-twin siblings and twins. If you believe that non-twins get this kind of speculation as much as twins do, erotically motivated or not, there's not much I can say apart from that that has not been my experience.

OK, last post before I have to go.

Honestly, even the title of that gawker post makes me really uncomfortable, and I only got a couple sentences in before I stopped. Maybe you were making some sort of point, but unfortunately i'm not going to see it.

I never know what to think when I hear stories like this, except to be sceptical. I find paranormal debunkery pretty interesting, so I do think there's probably a mundane explanation for the things you're describing. There's a TV show here in Britain by a guy called Derren Brown (no typo), who shows how just how easy…

I used to think it was more about porn, with people having regular ol' sibling incest fantasies, but there being no way to tell if it's just two actresses pretending. With twins you have "proof" I guess.

Yeah, that's a good point actually, I honestly don't give a shit what fantasies people have (god knows I've been turned on by some fucked up shit). I just don't want to hear about it, or have it treated like it's suddenly not incest somehow, and therefor fine to randomly bring up when you find out someone has siblings.

That's interesting. When we became teenagers there was definite change, and we ended up having to turn the living room into a second bedroom because we were fighting so bad. We don't have any other siblings so we probably had quite a different family dynamic to you.

Yur, I know you girls get it much worse than us guys too. Nowadays when people talk about having twin fantasies I just respond with "INCEST? REALLY?" Usually works.

We and other twins got those kinds of comments a lot more than other people with siblings. iruparatso is only one person, but when people jump to those kinds of conclusions so quickly for no reason in plenty of other contexts, I'm not really willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

OK, rather than getting annoyed at others, I'm going to give my own little perspective as a (male) identical twin. I can't speak for anyone else though (no, not even for my brother).

"it isn't a given in this case"

I think you are overstepping the line. I'm an identical twin, and we got shit all the time growing up about how we must have been having sex with eachother. Other twins we knew got the same, especially the female ones.

"When I was home alone, I would hear my rapist walking around outside and occasionally tapping on doors and windows.

I can't offer much more than personal anecdotes, but I also had friends who would say similar things. The thing is, of the 7 guys, both white and of east-asian descent, who in high-school claimed to only be attracted to white women, 5 have now had non-white girlfriends, the other 2 have never had any girlfriends. So…

Yeesh, this reminds me of my days of trying to cure girls' eating disorders by telling them how sexy they were. *cringe*

No problem, thank you for the kind words. I may have unburdened myself a tad too much here, but it's good to have positive feedback so that my anxiety doesn't tear me in twain.

Thank you for your sympathy, and for sharing your story. It probably wasn't great for you recounting it, but I actually found it rather soothing to read. It's 5:00am here in the UK and I can't sleep because of all the bad memories my posting here has dredged up (though to be fair I knew that would happen).

I do think some of our desire for girlfriends was selfish, as it came from peer-pressure and the media, like I mentioned briefly before. It's been 7 years since I left school and I still find it impossible to articulate just how much of a non-person I felt like due to never having had sex. At one point removing the…

Umm, well my anecdote was about asking a girl out... and it wasn't the only time, for me or the people around me. I thought I made it clear with my edit (which you maybe didn't see) that we weren't the victims, the girls definitely had it worse, it just wasn't a one-sided phenomenon. I remember the daughter of the IT…
