Is it unreasonable to do this?

I've just thought about it, and actually it's quite weird.

Basically, there's nothing my DP and I won't discuss. Some of you may remember the thread concerning sex with another you, and whether it was self-pleasure or incest.

But we talk to each other on a daily basis about our toilet activities. Size, consistency, amount of strain, etc.

Are we odd?! Or do other couples do this?

This isn't our Stealth, is it? This is some nasty scat loving creep.

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 20:49
Hmm

I don't think I have ever had a conversation about shit with anyone, unless there is a problem. Why would you want to discuss it?

MumblingAndBloodyRagDoll · 21/11/2011 20:50

I am distubed by the sex with another you....what kind of people ARE YOU???

[only half joking]

Well we like mental puzzles. Earlier we were discussing The Lake House, and how if Keanu Reaves had died in Sandra Bullocks past, that he wouldn't be able to prevent it from happening even though it's his future.

We're weird, aren't we :(

And after this, I don't think anyone is going to want to talk to me. Sad

How could sex with yourself be incest? You are not a relative of yourself, surely?

Well, it basically boils down to: It is a separate body with it's own mind and personality, therefore it isn't masturbation or self-pleasure. And it isn't conventional sex because of the similarities. So it would kind of be like sex with a twin. Except with your face...

DH and I talked of little else when we both had some sort of mild dysentry (travelling in Mexico). But usually there isn't a lot to talk about. I'm guessing your poos are more interesting on a daily basis.

AtYourCervix · 21/11/2011 20:59

sex with yourself is self pleasure. definitely.

poo talk? meh. it may crop up in passing.

Mandy2003 · 21/11/2011 21:01

But why would you be attracted to your other self in this way Confused

DS always gives me the "in's and out's" of what's occurred in the toilet, I do wonder if he will do this with a partner in the future!

MrsCampbellBlack · 21/11/2011 21:02

I am firmly of the door closed - retain the mystique school so to me you are a little bit odd.

But hey it takes all sorts and best you discuss it with each other than anyone else.

See, Cervix, that was my point. But apparently because it's a separate person occupying a separate space, it doesn't could as self-pleasure because you aren't pleasuring YOURSELF, you're pleasuring another version of yourself...

And Mandy - read The Time Traveller's Wife. It touches on that - he goes into the past and gets it on with his younger self... because they are bored apparently!

And I'd just like to make it clear: He's the ONLY person I discuss it with, other than my mum who is a medical professional!

Ewww no!

HecateGoddessOfTheNight · 21/11/2011 21:06

it would be. The genetic material would be identical, and incest is sex with a relative and you can't get more closely related than identical DNA Grin so yes. Incest.

We had a row conversation about whether or not it is possible for a woman to give birth to what would essentially be her clone. I thought that an egg contains all the genetic material required to make another person, so it is possible that it could just make a person, by some freak of nature (I believe some other species can do this)

He said that the egg has only half and the sperm the other half.

I said that I know the baby takes half from the egg and half from the sperm, but both contain the full lot.

I think in the end it turned out he was right.

Bugger.

AtYourCervix · 21/11/2011 21:07

i have never ever taken a dump in front of anyone ever. but if anything unusual appears to be occuring in the bowel department i might mention it as an excuse to take to my bed for a few hours

BlueCat2010 · 21/11/2011 21:07

There are some things that I believe shouldn't be shared. Toilet habits is one of them!

I think it can happen, because it happens in nature. It's also been theorized as the reason Mary had an immaculate conception.

either that or she was a filthy shhhhlag!

OP posts:
AtYourCervix · 21/11/2011 21:09

but you wouldn't be doing it with a relative, or anyone else except yourself so therefore just extended wanking. i think.

Oh no, Cervix! I don't poo IN FRONT OF HIM! I'm actually very self-conscious of pooing in the vicinity of people thanks to some choice comments from a teacher in my youth. He's the first person I have ever discussed it with. Ditto for my periods.

OP posts:
CaptainNancy · 21/11/2011 21:09

could there be anything worse than having sex with yourself?

I can't see the attraction really...

HecateGoddessOfTheNight · 21/11/2011 21:09

See, that's what I said - about Mary.

But he googled for about half an hour and claimed victory.

we really need to get out more Grin

And that was my argument. To which he had no reply other than some physics bullshit that he learned on his University course that completely baffled me!

Hecate - it's good you can have such an open relationship! Wink

human eggs only have half the number of chromosomes so i don't think it's possible to just double them spontaneously and grow another human.

unless maybe being struck by lightning as you ovulate could do something weird.

is it miosis or mitosis? i can't remember.
