Twincest

rdfs:comment

Popular culture often expects twins to share everything, including, it seems, their beds. It's a particularly common trope in Slash Fic, Hentai, and porn, though it does occur in mainstream fiction often enough to be a discernible trope. It's especially common as a way of making Creepy Twins just that much more disturbing. It goes without saying that most Real Life twins are as completely repulsed by the idea as any other incest trope. Of course, sometimes even Twincest isn't quite incestuous enough for the writers. Can overlap with a Twin Threesome Fantasy. Examples of Twincest include: Twincest is a type of incest fic that has the relationship be between twin characters in any particular canon. Twincest fics often turn out poorly due to the amount of squick it naturally contains, but if done well, it can be extremely good. Fred and George from Harry Potter and Elladan and Elrohir from Lord of the Rings are often victims of twincest.

Popular culture often expects twins to share everything, including, it seems, their beds. It's a particularly common trope in Slash Fic, Hentai, and porn, though it does occur in mainstream fiction often enough to be a discernible trope. It's especially common as a way of making Creepy Twins just that much more disturbing. Note that Twincest is not necessarily homosexual: that's what fraternal and Half-Identical Twins are for. However, a great deal of the appeal to viewers is the popular fantasy of sleeping with two identical copies of a single hot person at the same time, so homosexual (or bisexual if there's a lucky third party of another gender) twincest is more often used to titillate viewers. For Yuri Fans and Yaoi Fans who became fans at least partly because they see a forbidden appeal to such relationships, Twincest supercharges that part of the appeal. A common twist, in this and in Brother-Sister Incest in general, is for a couple to fall in love, only to find out later that they were Separated at Birth. (See genetic sexual attraction.) How far their relationship goes before they discover this generally depends on whether the plotline is supposed to be humorous or tragic. It goes without saying that most Real Life twins are as completely repulsed by the idea as any other incest trope. An old Japanese myth says that if two star-crossed lovers commit dual suicide, they get reincarnated as twins. This may be one of the factors in the frequency of Twincest stories in Anime. Of course, sometimes even Twincest isn't quite incestuous enough for the writers. Can overlap with a Twin Threesome Fantasy.
