No. I once dated an identical twin and he and his brother were polar opposites in terms of personality. I dated the nice one. His brother was a dick. ---

I honestly thought this thread was going to be about how women felt about twin babies. I have never fantasized about twin sexual partners and no woman I know has ever mentioned such a fantasy to me. The thought of having sex with two people who looked the same does nothing for me, and the incest element involved with twins makes it downright repulsive. I have no idea why anyone would think that “sisters would be better and identical twins the ultimate fantasy”. I have sisters (not twins), and the thought of having any sexual encounter with them makes me want to vomit. I wouldn’t even want to have sex with someone who’d in the past had sex with one of my sisters. I can only guess that men who have this fantasy aren’t thinking of the twins as siblings, or even as human beings without thoughts and feelings, but rather as simple sex objects. Not that there’s necessarily anything wrong with that, as long as the fantasy stays strictly in the realm of fantasy. It would be a bad idea to bring it up to any actual twins. ---

I dated a fellow once who turned out to be a twin. He was drop-dead gorgeous, which is actually not my usual taste as I tried not to date anyone better looking than I was. When I met his twin, my response was something like happy surprise that there actually could be two people in the world who were that beautiful. I had an occasional fantasy about not knowing which one I was having sex with at the time, but it was just an entertaining twist on the sex with a stranger thing. But not about having sex with both at the same time. So I think it must be a guy thing. ---

Yuck. I occasionally encounter twin ladies in a pornographic setting, and I flip through the pages/fast-forward as quickly as possible. Neither twin males or females together interest me. ---

> [@Thalion](#): > > …or gay men about twin brothers?.. Yes, alot of gay porn involves identical or fraternal twins. This can range from the brothers meerly posing naked, mutual masterbation, all the way to full on intercourse. I can think of several twin duos in the porn business off hand. The incest factor doesn’t bother me at all. The closest I’ve ever come to a threesome with twins in real life was in high school with a guy and his stepsister (he was in the middle :o). ---

Anything smacking of incest repulses me. It makes me think of somebody fantasizing about _me_ and _my family_, and then I want to hurl. If I was going to be with two guys (doubtful, but possible, I guess) I’d want them to look different, as mentioned above. If you’re gonna have two scoops on your ice cream cone, why have them both the same flavor? ---

Hmm. Closely identical (and attractive) siblings could indicate a high number of dominant, healthy genes. Other than that, I got nuthin’, other than “If some is good, more must be better!” logic. ---

(Bolding mine) I’m sorry if this is a bit OT, or if I’ve misunderstood you, but this really intrigues me. You’d rather not date someone you consider to be better looking? When I was dating, the last thing on my mind was how the object of my desires compared to me physically. Mentally, yes, but apart from that, I’d go for as good as I could get. ---

When I was dating, the last thing on my mind was how the object of my desires compared to me physically. Mentally, yes, but apart from that, I’d go for as good as I could get. Well, it was mostly a manner of speaking. I didn’t think of it that way, then. But I have come to understand that I was doing a lot of things when I was young that I at the time had no idea I was doing. In retrospect, though, it is true that I only rarely was attracted to really good looking men – my type appears to be more rangy and a little bit awkward. I admire really good looking men, but don’t seem to want to sleep with them much. ---

The closest I’ve ever come to a threesome with twins in real life was in high school with a guy and his stepsister (he was in the middle :o). I’ve seen a few brothers having sex on camera in porn which is quite nice but doesn’t add anything special IMO, but then it doesn’t squick me out either. In my mind it’s not incest between two members of the same gender because the taboo is primarily tied to procreation which isn’t an issue in those cases. ---

Same deal here–the SO is an identical twin but his brother is such a complete dickwad I wouldn’t fuck him with somebody else’s pussy. As a matter of fact, I’ve never been completely convinced they’re actually identical, since my facial recognition is crap and Bro’s personality so colors his features (to me, anyway) that I’ve never thought they looked that much alike. It’s only been lately, seeing pictures of Bro after not having seen him in twenty years or so that I can objectively recognize the similarity of their faces. Still wouldn’t fuck the guy, though, what a jerk… ---

In thinking about this, it seems that the incest angle may well be the exciting part. If you read Literotica or Solotouch, you will see that incest fantasies (and actual experiences) are extremely popular. I think a lot of guys are turned on by the taboo aspect. While they would never commit incest themselves, it’s exciting to be with someone so sexually adventurous that they would do it. I guess I have to admit that I fall into that category myself. ---

I have twin sons. I don’t know whether I want to throw up first and then look for someone to hit, or vice versa.
