Lots of guys, for example, learn how to masturbate from or with other guys and have at least a few same-sex experiences as teenagers or in college, though they leave all that behind when they get married and have families. That one I wouldn't know how to answer, because with twins, as with everyone else, sexual orientation can be complicated. Is it always the same in twins - both straight, both gay, both bisexual - or can one swing one way and the other another? One thing these party people rarely work up the nerve to ask about is sexual orientation. But no, we have never tried it with our spouses, because even identical twins are different enough that a spouse is likely to notice. We did it a couple of times when we were teenagers and a couple of more times in college. If the questioners have had a few drinks, they'll sometimes ask whether we've ever secretly subbed for each other with our girlfriends. People are fascinated they want to know if we still dress alike (not any more, we're 35 now), if people still mistake us for one another (ALL the time), if we're like those twins who make up their own language (no). If I'm talking to someone at a party, and the conversation starts to flag, all I have to do is mention my twin brother and off we go. Having an identical twin means, among other things, always having a topic for conversation.
