Conjoined twins explains sex life
Conjoined twins
A set of alleged conjoined twins, who share a vagina, have opened up about their “uncomfortable” sex lives. The 19-year-old sisters, known only as Mia and Lia for privacy reasons, took to social media to detail their sexual orientations and how they approach sex when one is attracted to men and the other to women.
Mia and Lia decided to share their story after it was revealed that conjoined twin Abby Hensel secretly tied the knot to boyfriend Josh Bowling, 33, in 2021. During a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), Mia and Lia responded to questions about their sex lives, revealing intimate details including that they no longer masturbate because it’s too “uncomfortable” for them.
Kicking off the post, the twins said: “We are connected at the abdomen, so two different brains, two hearts, four(ish) lungs (our left and right lungs respectively are kind of fused so it’s more like a 3rd lung than a 4th), two livers, two stomachs, and then below that we share our intestines, bladder, and our reproductive system.
“So yes, the same vagina! We each have one arm and leg we can control respectively.” The twins then went on to explain how their bodies were formed and who held the greater strengths. The post read: “Lia’s lungs have been compressed by my body and on top of that she has severe scoliosis in her spine.”
Revealing it was Mia doing the writing, the sisters opened up about their sexualities before inviting a slew of questions from curious strangers. “Yes, I am a lesbian and Lia is straight. I’ve had a girlfriend although we split it off when I went to university, and she has had a long-distance boyfriend when we were teens,” the post read.
The sisters then pointed out that they were sharing their lives online so that people could ask them questions instead of bothering other conjoined twins who hadn’t given them permission. The first topic that came up was masturbation, which the twins described as “uncomfortable.”
When one user asked how often the sisters resorted to self-pleasure, they were quick to shut it down. The sisters replied: “We have masturbated in the past, but we’ve agreed not to do it as it was too uncomfortable for us.” Another web user questioned if masturbating felt like “incest” to the twins. Responding to the personal query, the sisters admitted that it felt bothersome but not incestuous.
They added: “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.” Social media users were relentless in their curiosity, bombarding the twins with questions about their sexual experiences, particularly whether they both experienced arousal given their shared anatomy.

NASA Astronaut shows how he wears pants in Space: ‘two legs at a time’
Astronauts have a unique way of getting dressed in space. In a fascinating video posted on February 21, NASA chemical engineer, Don Pettit, demonstrated how he puts on his pants aboard the International Space Station. Instead of the traditional one-leg-at-a-time approach, Mr Pettit descended into his floating trousers, essentially jumping into them with both legs at once.
He simply captioned the video, “Two legs at a time.”
The lighthearted video delighted viewers, prompting a flurry of comments and reactions from users who enjoyed the humorous glimpse into life in space. One user wrote, “I thought you were going to land right in them at first. Haha. That might be fun to try.”
Another joked, “This is the real content that I needed! I attempted to recreate this on Earth and well.it didn’t go well.”
A third said, “Missed opportunity to not have the theme from Space Odyssey 2001 playing for this.” A fourth added, “Such a pro! Well done.”

Company threatens to fire employees …..if they don’t get married and have children
A company based in China’s Shandong province caught the attention of government officials after it threatened to fire its single and divorced employees if they remained single by the end of September.
According to a report in South China Morning Post, Shandong Shuntian Chemical Group Co. Ltd., issued a notice to its 1,200-odd employees, emphasising that they work well and establish families.
The notice required single employees aged 28-58, including those divorced, to get married and settle down by the end of September this year. Those who do not by the end of March need to write a self-criticism letter. If they do not get married by the end of June, the company will conduct an “evaluation” of them. If they are still single by the end of September, they will be fired.
The company said the move was intended to promote the spirit and cultural values of “diligence, kindness, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness”.
As the news went viral, Chinese social media users slammed the decision, stating the company was violating several laws.
“Corporate rules should not override laws or social morals,” one user commented, while others pointed out that the Chinese marriage law guarantees freedom of marriage.
“This crazy company should mind its own business and stay away from the personal lives of employees.”
