Long title, I know.
Today’s news is coming to you a year late. Although the [report of] this engagement happened in March of last year – I believe – I only just read about it, and my mom always says that whenever you wake up, that’s your morning. So, this, right here, is news to me.
Brittany and Abby Hansel, born March 7th 1990 are conjoined twins. They have separate lungs, spine, heart, and stomach, and each of them have one hand and one leg, but they are joined at the pelvis.
Brittany and Abby Hansel
The thing is, Brittany is engaged.
I found a structural picture of their body; it helps to understand what their insides look like, and why I’m having all these questions in my head – not that either of them owe me an answer.
In other words, they have one vagina. So here are the thoughts (questions) running through my mind:
1. What will Abby be doing while Brittany is having sex with their vagina?
2. Is Abby allowed to moan too?
3. Will/can Abby date after Brittany gets married?
4. What happens when Abby gets engaged or married? Whose house will they sleep in?
5. Who gets pregnant?
6. Who has the baby?
7. What happens if Brittany wants to have sex and Abby doesn’t want to?
8. Women can decide – if they want to – not to get wet. What happens if Abby decides not to get wet and Brittany wants it otherwise. In other words, who controls the honey pot?
9. I know this is crazy, but what if Brittany is cheating on her husband and her husband walks in on the act, how does he know who is really sleeping with that other dude?
10. Sex aside, who is the guy really engaged to? Brittany? Or both of them?
I know these are funny scenarios, but I am half-serious. I don’t even know what being half-serious means, but I know I am it right now. On that note, I watched a video of the girls when they were 16, and it was just phenomenal watching the way they interact and work together. These girls seem to get along more than we (non conjoined people) can get along with our own selves. And I love the way they’re holding hands in the video.
Check out the video, and when you’re done watching it, feel free to answer my questions.
So what do you think?

This na serious matter o
Very serious.
This is seriously serious o!
Tell me about it
All I can say is that God is great!
Yes, indeed, He is.
Hahaha you HAVE to be kidding me. The imaginary, invisible sky person has nothing to do with a person surviving a birth defect. *shakes my head*
Who is yh imaginary person in the sky? God?
Damn, and we share the same birthday..7/3..
I think the guy knows he is engaged to both ladies, they might claim to be individuals but not possible in this case..
The structure above is all well and good, that can be seen, what happens to their emotions which can’t be seen…???
I say the guy is consciously aware of his role to both ladies……abi..
Funsho, very valid question. Well, as long as the man knows that he’s engaged to both ladies (and both ladies know that they are engaged to him), then I guess it won’t be too bad after all. I hope.
Hope you are well Vera…
I thought you responded to this last year, or could it be my system has gone bonkers..
No probs..
Hope Igwe is pressing all the right notes, make sure he knows you have big brothers all over the planet, and we have high expectations..
Loool at pressing all the right notes. No comments. And I thought I responded last year, too, but I can’t find it. So yeah, you got another response.
Would this be considered polygamy?
Probably not. I’m assuming the argument would be that it is a birth defect that has put them in this position, not that the man actually wants to be married to two women, especially sisters.
This is really weird. The guy to whom Brittany is engaged must really be a good guy and love hers her dearly to insert himself into this complexity. Talk about the ever present sister-in-law.
Yes, indeed. An ever present sister-in-law … literally.
how do they take tests individually?
Have no idea. Thinking about it now, what if the husband has sex with his wife with the intention of getting her pregnant and the other sister gets pregnant instead? Then whose baby is it really?
That cant happen as they have one set of reproductive organs. If the husband is trying to get his wife pregnant than it will be her baby. Now if there’s two men, each girl gets married, I suppose they would have to do a DNA test and determine who’s baby it is, by who the father is.
Ooooh. That does make a lot of sense. But it will really suck if the husband is trying to get his wife pregnant and gets the other one pregnant. I’m getting light-headed thinking about this.
Oh wow! this more serious than “half serious”. There can only be one guy, which makes me wonder if they have the same taste in guys…
It is definitely very serious. There are so many questions that I wish I could get answer to.
What if they dont like the same guys and the get engaged to different men? How does sex work then? “wait at the until the first guy is done”?
Alf, I have nooooo idea how it’s gonna work. But it’s gonna be interesting. Bewildering, too.
You all should feel ashamed!! There are so many more challanges for these girls than their sex life! Would you want your sex life discussed all over the internet?!? Good for them to be better than all of you!
Uhm, B, we are not discussing their sex lives. We don’t know and cannot comprehend their sex lives. That’s technically what the discussion is about.
Look people are curious.. They’re valid questions.. Nobody is insulting the girls, well, ladies now.. They aren’t being cruel or nasty about this- people are just natually curious about how it’s all going to work.
Perhaps the ladies have this all worked out between the two of them- they seem very close aside form the obvious reasons..
You can’t attack people for being curious and pondering the difficult questions.. The ladies put their lives on tv, they opened them up to the public, the public is going to be curious. That’s normal.
Pika, thank you very much. That’s what I think, too. I’m not trying to make fun of them at all. But it’s only natural for us to have these questions. Thanks a lot for understanding anyway.
i wonder what will happen when one of them dies first??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Oh, boy. Well, Gavin, I sure hope that doesn’t happen. I didn’t actually think of that.
Ahh……..OK when you think about it Abby might have the baby of brittney because they only have one private
Yup. That’s what I was wondering, too. How do they know who owns the child?
F”ki’n
language!
No i am not the real soccer player messi but he is my favorite soccer player in the world and I am Marc.Actully I am a girl but I just put fake names to not get important identity given out!well they must really love each other to not have complained to get separated from each other
I think I read somewhere that it was too dangerous to separate because of the nature of their “togetherness,” so they chose to stay together and alive. I pray God sees them through.
Will Abby moan is not cool when you try to think about it!
No, it isn’t cool at all. It’s weird.
B has a point!
No. Not really. At least not in the context of this post.
If one twin is on here honeymoon, does the other feel orgasm too. Or is orgasm really a mental thing. Either way each sister will know who faked it.
It’s a lot of thinking when you start thinking about it. LOL. So many questions.
so what if Brittany wants to have sex and Abby doesn’t ?
I have no idea.
Basically, he is in a relationship with both of them and they are both in a relationship with him, and ‘the other’ will have to learn to love him too..
That’s what it seems like, doesn’t it?
1. she will be having sex!
2. If he’s a big guy she won’t have a choice!
3. yes legally but damn I wouldn’t want to be the husband.
4. They obviously have to sleep in the same house no matter where.
5 The both do.
6. They both do.
7. They won’t they respect each other and I think it’s technically rape.
8. That’s a fight that’ll take place in their heads.
9. They both are because they both had to consent.
10. Just Brittany legally.
Wow!!! Thank you, Jazen. You took the time to answer all my questions. I really, really appreciate it. Thank you! And your answers make a whole lotta sense
