As Mr. Spock would say……FASCINATING!
Ok, for starters freaky shit like this fascinates and intrigues me more so than an unknown alien life form resembling a large fried egg with the ability to communicate with humans telepathically fascinates Mr. Spock! Not to mention the fact that sometimes I get a good laugh out of the “bizarre” and then wrestle with the undeniable desire to ponder some serious, yet blunt questions about each “object of fascination”. My latest “re-fascination” comes with the recently re-watched show on the Learning Channel (TLC) about the Hensel twins; Abigail “Abby” Loraine Hensel and Brittany “Britty” Lee Hensel, which originally aired in 2006 and again in 2008. I caught up with the show again a couple days ago and was compelled to question the issues surrounding the two-headed twins lifestyle.
For those that don’t know about the Hensel’s, they are “dicephalic parapagus twins” which roughly translates to mean they are connected as conjoined twins via- one single symmetrical body that has two fully functional and sentient heads of roughly accurate proportion that are able to have their own thought process and communicate separately as such. Each twin controls ½ half of their body, operating one of the their arms and one of the legs. This obviously requires some serious bodily coordination and skill. Each twin is able to eat and write separately and simultaneously, while more physically strenuous activities must be symmetrically coordinated such as running, swimming, and get this, “kick me in the balls” believe it or not…driving! Can you believe that shit? This year the conjoined twins will be 21 years old on March 7th, 2011. Old enough to drink and get shit faced, or twice as shit faced in their case.
Yet, I must be honest and address some serious concerns about these conjoined twins and what they must face in life from this point on! So I’ve drafted the following series of questions that must be answered and addressed at some point and have even threw in some of my own answers and hints as to what I believe to be very interesting observations indeed.
Some say two heads are better than one, but what if you had to deal with this shit from day to day, would you feel the same? Not me dude!
1. Driving, if the twins drive and get pulled over by the police for a traffic violation who would get the summons(s) or would the cop freak the fuck out and just let them go? Hmmm?
2. Car Insurance, do the twins get a package deal on car insurance or are they considered two drivers and are their premiums higher than the norm? This could drive even the most seasoned insurance agent to hit the bottle hard. I would say they are very high-risk drivers, I know for a fact that I would not want them behind me anytime soon in a 3000 pound chunk of speeding steel and gas how about you? Not to mention the serious distraction it causes to look over and see one body with two heads speeding past you at 65 mph on a major highway. WTF? Can we say, “Oh shit….Jersey Barrier”?
3. Movie theaters, do you really want to be sitting in a theater waiting to see an incredible film you waited for months to see and then….BAM…”the heads” sit right down in front of you? Holy fucking shit….give me a refund! You could move, but after that there is no way your going to be able to concentrate on the film.
4. Dropping a “deuce” and ass wiping, if one has to drop a heavy deuce and the other one don’t how can you tell who needs to let go of the log? Then to make matters worse, who has to wipe? Some serious questions my friend!
5. DWI / DUI, lets say one of the twins had a little too much “rum cake” one night and had to drive home, which head is the designated driver and if they get pinched for DWI / DUI who goes to jail? It can’t be both because to arrest one that is innocent is a constitutional rights violation while the guilty party must go in to face the music. Even the Chief of Police in any department would find this a truly challenging police matter to deal with.
6. Amusement parks, if the twins go to an amusement park, do they have to give double tickets to go on rides or are the regular amount accepted? I must admit I would love to see them on a roller coaster!
7. Self defense, imagine you had to fight the twins in a Kumite to the death. Who do you hit first and if you knock out or kill one must you finish off the other head to win?
8. What if they were Porn Stars? Some guys would not mind getting blown by two chicks but in this seedy industry one can only imagine the possibilities with two heads. I can see some of the titles already; “Two Heads One Cock”. “OMG That’s Freaky”. “Deep Throats”. I’d actually pay a good deal to see a film with “the heads”.
9. What if the twins decided to go to the local pub for a few brews and one forgot their ID? Do they get in or is the bouncer going to say I need to see two ID’s before anyone gets in? I’m betting two ID’s.
10. Marriage, what if one gets married and the other head don’t could this be considered polygamy? And if during sex one head blows the husband, is the other forced to watch or joint in? Quite disturbing. Now, what if both get married and consummate their relationships and one husband don’t want the other sleeping with his wife, is that adultery or cheating or just “Christmas” for all? These are serious questions my friends, very serious.
11. Education, what if one wants to go to Harvard and the other to UCLA? Who gets to go to school and what about school loans? What if one fails out or gets expelled? What if they apply for the same school and only one gets in? See where I’m going with this?
12. If one gets sexually assaulted does the criminal when caught face one count of the crime or two? What if he doesn’t touch one head and only focuses on the other? This case could go to the U.S. Supreme Court and make a defense attorney a millionaire over night from publicity. What if the sex with one head was consensual and the other not? Would one head testify in favor of the defense while the other for the prosecution and you got to admit cross-examination would be fucking great!
13. Getting into beef’s with people. What if you get into a beef with one head and not the other and it gets physical? Do you just tag one head with a few shots while avoiding the body being it would not be fair to tag the one you don’t have an issue with right?
14. Snowball fights? I won’t expand more on this question because just those two words alone open up a plethora of doors on infinite visuals of fun.
So there you have it, something to ponder about when dealing with conjoined twins like the Hensel twins.
UPDATE: Just watched the show on the twins again….they seem to be doing well and low and behold one had even gotten engaged to be married! I don’t know which one but who cares they both got the same fucking body anyway!
UPDATE: 8-17-12. Just saw that a new TLC special is being produced on the two heads…it will air on TLC 9-28-12. Here is the link and it should be very interesting!

Some questions you don’t want an answer to Bill. But, here it is anyway… http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktwq2bEPU21qzun37o1_500.jpg
Just what I thought…disturbing!
bizaarro
Omg this is mind bending. I just can’t think of how they missed the anomally in an ultrasound. The moment they hear 2 heartbeats, the pregnancy becomes classified high risk and is investigated and monitored closely in my country. I do not understand how their stupid parents would allow them to think that they could get married and have kids–one or both of them. To whom?? Two men? One very twisted man? At the same time? Could they get divorced too? That would be nothing but a very deviant situation. I wouldn’t trade places with their parents for anything and although I’m a compassionate person, some pf your brutal but realistic questions had me laughing very hard. I hope the girls continue to have a good life but I just don’t see physical intimacy as part of their future. And omg–pls. Tell me that photo in the comment above is not them and is photoshopped!!!
Pic is real…the DSC show was pretty disturbing! But yeah they are real….also there is apparently a nude pic of them as well from a party a year ago….;-O
Not real dumbfuck. This site is a waste of my time and internet space.
Than don’t read it asshole if it is a waste of your time…you do have the ability to NOT go to this site and NOT read it correct? That is unless your retarded and or just plain fucking stupid….so what is it retarded or plain fucking stupid?
I was thinking of the same thing as far as DUI, marriage, sex, etc… Do you put a bag over one’s head or blindfold so they don’t have to watch? Funny, most of your questions are what I would love to know the answers to myself! I saw the show when it aired and some of those came to mind!
my friend told me about these girls/twins and we were talking about the samething with sex. does one put a blindfold on while the other has sex or just watches. lots of questions to be asked on how they run their lives. like one could be the designated driver if one is drunk lol
big mind twister. how would they get a career that they both would enjoy? like what if one wants to be a cop and the other wants to be a doctor…how could they work that out, get one job and get the other to like it or each get the job of what they want and work a schedule out? both go to the college for one job and then go to the other college for the other and then find a way to work out both jobs?
Some great questions, the cable channels never did a follow -up and I’ve done some research but they kept off the grid. Now even a more disturbing question to ponder is what if one head got so damaged say from an accident or took a massive stroke making that head brain dead. Would the other head had the “dead head” removed?
I just left a comment as a reply, but I don’t see it, so I’m leaving it as a regular comment. If this appears twice, please delete one!
Link to very recent pix of them is below.
I used to be quasi-friends with Abby and Brit in 2007, when they were in high school. We exchanged six emails, but I stopped writing. It was because once you get used to them having two heads (and run out of polite questions), they’re exactly like any other teenage girls–and I didn’t really have anything on common with them.
BTW, you can tell them apart because when you face them, they’re in alphabetical order (Abby on the left).
I was concerned that Brit never says anything, and I asked her if she felt comfortable that Abby does all the talking and maybe is the dominant one. She said no, she’s just quiet. Abby doesn’t dominate her. (I get a clit boner when I hear someone say “dominate her”!)
To the person here who said “If one has sex, they have to put a bag over the other one’s head”: AHH HAHAHAH! OMG!!! Yeah, blindfold her, and gag her and plug her ears too, and then fuck her! That is soooo sexy!
…I’m a kinky chick. BFD, shoot me.
The question is, which one feels the pussy? My guess is Abby, since Brit is kind of stuck onto Abby’s side. That would also answer the question about wiping. Though if Britty takes turns wiping too, she would feel like she’s wiping someone else’s ass. UGHH! BLECKHH!
One thing I will say: you don’t have to worry about hurting their sensitive feelings or them being shy or self-conscious for being different. If they’re “mutants”, it’s more like the X-Men than Elephant man. Everyone in their lives has treated them with so much extra care and attention and “love”, that they are actually too much the other way. They come across as… well, not arrogant, but like celebrities are. Everybody wants to be their friend, which means they’re extremely popular. They assume you think they’re cool because everyone they’ve ever met has told them that for two decades.
Fortunately, it’s okay, because they really ARE cool!
They said there were mean kids in high school even though it was a “christian” school, but I’m sure anyone who ridiculed or bullied THEM would be jumped on by all the other kids immediately. (And rightly so!)
BTW, they graduated from Bethel University a few weeks ago. No word on what they’re doing for a living. But I hope they do porn, not because I’d get off on seeing it (though I’d look), but because they could make millions from just two or three movies, then they’d never have to work and could WTF they wanted for the rest of their conjoined lives.
They both share the vagina and both feel it. And as for the question regarding DUI in this post if one becomes in toxicated the other does as well. It isn’t half and half despite the fact they are two people.
I blew the picture up thinking I would see some potoshop but I dont. I do question the arms, something looks off. I didnt want to laugh at the questions but I just know my adult kids and I would be discussioning the same questions.
Maybe the 2 heads look off….LOL…this is real and the DSC Channel did a doc about them…crazy shit.

Thank God for Daniel Tosh and Tosh.0 because he’ll be the only television comedian that will openly make fun of the show, the girls and ask all the real questions … I’ve been fascinated by them since their first appearance on Oprah – they were 10 – I was most disturbed that “Abby” loves corn on the cob … “Britty” does not … they cut to video clip of the normal / upright head gnawing away on a cob … meanwhile the droopy head has to deal with the juice, butter and chewed up pieces of husk that are being smeared across her face … in the 16th birthday follow up, I remember thinking the female narrating the documentary was far too conservative in her questioning … she asks the girls “what do you want to be when you grow up” I remember one wanting to work with animals and attend college to be a veterinarian … the other said something about a cat allergy and she was going to college to be a school teacher … ummm … the interview / narrator woman pandered to them and just enabled them … instead of laying down the reality … c’mon, put your heads together and think one of you can’t go to one school and study something while the other goes after an unrelated field at a different location … now I can sleep at night knowing they compromised and decided to attend the same university
2 IDs ? They are obviously gonna be the same age if they are joint you spesh…
OMG I watched this show last night, and like an accident I just couldn’t turn away. Matter of fact, I didn’t want to look away. All I can think about is what their sex life is like (if and when it happens) it makes me very upset that this is on TLC not shotime, so I will likely never know. (A true unjustice) For those who don’t think they could have any…let me just say it plain…your wrong. Anyway, as far as the rest of the questions, mostly I don’t think I care. Hopefully a shotime special is in the works.
I’m gonna have to agree with the person who said “WTF KILL IT WITH FIRE!”
do you think they get pissed at each other? do they yell at each other and do you think they punch each other in the face? the whole sex and shit thing really fascinates me. how! so u think its like “ok britty i have to take a shit lets go.” what if one likes assplay and the other doesnt? im all thinkin hard on this one.
Well, after watching their new reality show on TLC many questions came out that I did not even think of….LOL
If they have sex with each other, is it incest or masturbation???
So if they have sex with one another is it considered incest or masturbation???
A little of both I would imagine….
