    I object to this, there is exactly one thing every person on this planet would do if they had a clone, and it wouldn’t be a solo activity…well it kinda would.

      Hard disagree. I feel bad any time my spouse has to see my naked body, and especially bad when we mash our genitals together.

      Maybe it’s true for attractive people, but not fat uggos.

        I might be wrong, but I don’t think it’s about being attractive or even liking your own body, it’s about the freeing feeling of being 100% honest with everything with someone. You cannot and don’t need to lie to your double, he knows everything, you know everything. Sex isn’t about genital mashing, it’s about the mind-body communions, which would be the strongest with your double.

          I think you are minimizing the physical aspects of sex and the necessity of attraction for sex. Yes, good sex has connection and the mind plays a big role, but attraction is absolutely necessary for sex to be enjoyable, and I’m certainly not attracted to myself AT ALL. (I do not enjoy sexual activity with the same gender even in the slightest, which seems similarly important.)

          Also, you’re assuming people are honest with themselves (BIG ASSUMPTION) and that they don’t just hate themselves. I guess you could fantasize about hate-fucking yourself, but that seems like a topic for therapy.

          I don’t want to yuck your fantasy yum, but I think it’s a lot more niche than you might realize.

      As a gay man, I’ve thought about it on more than occasion. But would straight folk? If you’re straight, what’s the reasoning being clone/AU you fuckage? Is it gay?

        I don’t think it would be any more gay than masturbation, but I also don’t think it matters.

        Great q. I think if someone’s even the tiniest bit bicurious it’s it’s conceptually the safest possible way to experiment. I imagine. Definitely gay though yeah. And somewhat incestuous.

      I would rock the ever loving shit out of my world. It would be freaky af and illegally delightful. It’s nice to finally see who I am in the mirror, but even more so it just breaks my mind regularly that I’m totally my type.

      My fiance would probably be in heaven with the development as well. 😅
