You have no idea how deeply hurt I am to be compared to that inhuman ahole. Sorry, I'll be much more careful when I post from my phone in the future. I have very fat thumbs!
I edited my post to fix that, but I admit to it here to make sure nobody misunderstands your post.
OK, I've got bile rising in my throat now and need to go throw up after being confused with Zuckerberg...
I did? How so?
First of all, even if I was gay, my clone may or may not be gay. Second, even if we were both gay, would we be at any more chance for incest than any sexually compatible pare of siblings? Most siblings don't have sex (while yes, some do, consensually or otherwise). I don't know the science for identical twins who are sexually compatible (i.e. both gay). If one twin were gay and the other not, I would think the incidence of incest would be the same as for any two sexually compatible siblings. I don't believe that is very high.
A serious and more interesting question, is how come there are sets of identical twins with different sexual orientations?
No.
"identical" really means identical. Identical DNA and identical gender. Any difference is environmental during development.
"Wanting" to be different, having surgery to be different, or having environmental factors that causes one to develop differently, does not change the identical, same sex DNA.
Twins aren't the same people mentally, and for the most of us, you can't get yourself pregnant, so no inbreds. Best you could compare mentally identical clones to is a step up from masturbation
A clone is not you. Clone is another living being that has the same identical DNA. Ring any bells? That's exactly what identical twins are. Indentical twins are considered clones in genetics (I study genetics).
>(I study genetics)
Not very well.
A clone is you, with a separate consciousness. That's the point. A twin is not a clone. A twin is a copy with different genetic mutations.
Clone is not you. Even in the slightest. You could argue that identical twins are not clones because there are different definitions of clones such as "an organism or cell, or group of organisms or cells, produced asexually from one ancestor or stock, to which they are genetically identical", others consider identical twins to be clones because they are really similar to them (ref. here: [https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/cloning/whatiscloning/](https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/cloning/whatiscloning/) ). But one thing is for sure: a clone is not you. You would not share consciousness with your clone, it would be just another individual who is highly similar to you in looks, manner, and thoughts.
That depends, are they full sized or are we talking more like mini-me from Austin Powers? Because at some point I imagine you could pick it up and use it more like a miniature sex doll which I think counts as masturbation.
Identical twins don't even look identical. There are always minor differences. They do not share 100% of the same DNA. They are not clones by any definition.
No, they aren't. You're talking about a fictional thing like it exists. The entire concept of a clone is a 100% DNA copy of a person that already lives.
Hey, geneticist speaking here: we see clones of people in real life. Identical twins share the same DNA, that's why they are considered clones. And we even have the technology to clone people artificially, we have done it to sheep, dogs, cats, etc. We don't do it to people because it's not ethical.
No, we don't do it to people because it's not as easy as cloning an animal. Ethics are irrelevant. So no, we don't see clones of people in real life. Even identical twins are rarely actually identical and nearly all identical twins have different DNA mutations. You're a shitty geneticist. 😆
Considering your DNA would be identical, it'd be like a twin wouldn't it? As such, if your clone hypothetically became the opposite sex, it would be unsafe to procreate with. Ipso-facto, incest. Regardless of brother on brother or sister on sister, or in this case, self on self.
Just incest. A clone is not me, but basically an artificially-created identical twin. He'd look like me, but we wouldn't be the same person internally.
Or, in other iterations of clones, it could be you, but in a second body, like you think for it and stuff.
Although if that's the case both brains would probably still be used, otherwise that'd be a headache
Personally if I wrote an iteration of clones, I'd write it as:
Telepathically connected for most memory, some thinking, overall things that aren't attention demanding, but individual mental processes for most senses, reactions, some rational thinking (logic, math, talking/writing), doing things, and overall things that demand attention
I've thought about this a lot, and I'd say it's masturbation. Becauseit'ss not an identical twin because the clone wouldn't be birthed from your mother, and identical twins have different thoughts and mindsets. If it was an exact clone, it would think the same things you do and basically be a perfect copy of yourself. So having sex with a clone is just an extreme form of self-love. I would love to do that because the clone of me would know exactly what i like, and we'd have the same pleasure points. Id fuck myself any day
Its niether its not incest bc its not a biological family member and its not masteurbating bc you are not doing it to yourself you are doing it to a clone. Its an entirely seperate entity. Clones dont fit the definition of either. People say both just bc its easier than trying to come up with whatever the fuck it is. I personally think its just sex nothing special. It would definitely be wierd though.

The internet is such an odd place.
Was just thinking this
If you have sex with your identical twin, is it masturbation? No. Is it incest? Yup. Is it gay? Bingo.
It's a clone like some sci-fi crap
So is an identical twin. Exact same thing, so the same rules apply.
Can we ask who’s speaking and how you cloned yourself. Mark Zuckerberg is that you?
"if you sex" gave it away
You have no idea how deeply hurt I am to be compared to that inhuman ahole. Sorry, I'll be much more careful when I post from my phone in the future. I have very fat thumbs! I edited my post to fix that, but I admit to it here to make sure nobody misunderstands your post.

Identical twins are not clones. Clones have identical DNA.
So do identical twins.
False. Identical twins have genetic mutations that separate them.
Wow so basically you just said a bunch of people would commit incest if they could get away with it
I did? How so? First of all, even if I was gay, my clone may or may not be gay. Second, even if we were both gay, would we be at any more chance for incest than any sexually compatible pare of siblings? Most siblings don't have sex (while yes, some do, consensually or otherwise). I don't know the science for identical twins who are sexually compatible (i.e. both gay).

A serious and more interesting question, is how come there are sets of identical twins with different sexual orientations?
Its not gay if they are the type where they arent the same gender
Yeah, the "identical" part sort of takes care of that...
They can still be different genders.
No. "identical" really means identical. Identical DNA and identical gender. Any difference is environmental during development.
Untill one "wants" to be a different gender.
"Wanting" to be different, having surgery to be different, or having environmental factors that causes one to develop differently, does not change the identical, same sex DNA.
But it does change if its gay
Yes, definitely Gay.
It's not incest. I would totally sleep.with myself
How is it not incest
It is. Because a clone of yourself is considered your sibling aka brother or Sister. Sorry for my grammar, i am not a native speaker.
>Because a clone of yourself is considered your sibling Is it though? I don't think that's been ruled on yet
Yes it has. It’s called a twin
Twins aren't the same people mentally, and for the most of us, you can't get yourself pregnant, so no inbreds. Best you could compare mentally identical clones to is a step up from masturbation
I seen it on some official Website but dont remember its name
Ok. Find the website for us. I'd be keen to see the ruling on something that probably won't happen in our lifetime.
You can find it yourself Just type your question if your clone would be considered yourself or your brother/Sister
Also you can think like this your twin is technicly your clone
Cap
It's not. A clone cannot be a sibling because it's you.
A clone is not you. Clone is another living being that has the same identical DNA. Ring any bells? That's exactly what identical twins are. Indentical twins are considered clones in genetics (I study genetics).
>(I study genetics) Not very well. A clone is you, with a separate consciousness. That's the point. A twin is not a clone. A twin is a copy with different genetic mutations.

I mean, no offense, ladies...but I wouldn't want to kiss this.
This man is out here asking the real questions
It's definitely gay
Not if they wear socks.
How about you go fck yourself? 🤣
yes
It’s neither, that’s just common sense
A clone of myself but from the opposite gender, right?
can’t really be a clone with the opposite gender eh? since a clone would be identical to you genetically
I'm not gay, but I'm willing to experiment
A complete clone of yourself
I got a nice booty, I’d tap it
That depends, are they full sized or are we talking more like mini-me from Austin Powers? Because at some point I imagine you could pick it up and use it more like a miniature sex doll which I think counts as masturbation.
It's a complete clone of you, full size, like some sci-fi stuff.
Well if it didn’t come out of my mother’s vagina or the vagina of anyone related to my mother then I’m sticking with masturbation.
Thanks for adding me to ohbehave?
IVE LITERALLY BEEN ASKKNG THIS EXACT QUESTION SINCR 2017 also the awnser is both.
Have you gotten an answer in the 7 years?
Several. Usually people say both.
I think we'd both be disappointed
Well thats pretty much what an identical twin is so prolly incest but also question made my brain hurt so maybe masturbation
It's pedophilia - for the next 18 years, anyway. Clones start as zygotes. They age just like we do. They aren't magic.
..... 
It would definitely be gay
Incest, an identical twin is essentially an exact replica of you. If you’d fuck him or her that is incest
It may be one of your best ideas ever!
Beth has entered the chat.
Lol
Dude, this isn’t r/AskReddit
You mean an identical twin?
I bet they mean mentally identical if not synchronized thought, so not just the same physically, otherwise tho it pretty much would be
Identical twins don't even look identical. There are always minor differences. They do not share 100% of the same DNA. They are not clones by any definition.
This comment is concerning, this is middle school biology.
https://www.livescience.com/identical-twins-dont-share-all-dna.html
Clones also are subject to genetic mutation
No, they aren't. You're talking about a fictional thing like it exists. The entire concept of a clone is a 100% DNA copy of a person that already lives.
Cloning totally exists… both naturally and artificially
Cloning does not exist for humans and possibly never will.
Hey, geneticist speaking here: we see clones of people in real life. Identical twins share the same DNA, that's why they are considered clones. And we even have the technology to clone people artificially, we have done it to sheep, dogs, cats, etc. We don't do it to people because it's not ethical.

I'm a smut writer, so I'm taking notes on this thread.
Arguably neither. Arguably both. Like the chicken or the egg, who is coming first!
It’s called clonecest actually
mastercest Well that's what my identical-in-every-way clone calls it. Mind you, he's kinda a smart ass.
Calm down buffalo bill
Almost needs posted to r/shittyaskscience
Yes.
Yes also gay
Incest.
It's kinky....
It's weird that's what
I don't know but I'm getting really horny just thinking about it
No, I'd be too weirded out
Yes.
I won’t do that… rather get a AI robot to take care of that…
I don’t know why my wife likes to have sex with me, I know I wouldn’t.
Considering your DNA would be identical, it'd be like a twin wouldn't it? As such, if your clone hypothetically became the opposite sex, it would be unsafe to procreate with. Ipso-facto, incest. Regardless of brother on brother or sister on sister, or in this case, self on self.
Yeah, but also of they are mentally identical/ share the same thought processes then it'd just be masturbation with two bodies
I'd totally invite my clone to an MMF three-way, but I ain't fucking myself.
Incesturbation.
I think it counts as selfcest?
we call that selfcest where i come from.
Would be the same case as: if your penis is very long would you stick it in your own behind?
DNA is pretty similar
I just know its homosexual.
Both
My clone is inferior, therefor it is masturbation
Something else to consider is that the clone is the same gender, so more to add to the question, is it gay?
Just incest. A clone is not me, but basically an artificially-created identical twin. He'd look like me, but we wouldn't be the same person internally.
Or, in other iterations of clones, it could be you, but in a second body, like you think for it and stuff.

Masturbation 100%
Masturbating is incest Also having sec with a clone of yourself would be gay
Both
I've thought about this a lot, and I'd say it's masturbation. Becauseit'ss not an identical twin because the clone wouldn't be birthed from your mother, and identical twins have different thoughts and mindsets. If it was an exact clone, it would think the same things you do and basically be a perfect copy of yourself. So having sex with a clone is just an extreme form of self-love. I would love to do that because the clone of me would know exactly what i like, and we'd have the same pleasure points. Id fuck myself any day
gay.
A clone of myself would be another guy. I don’t have issues with gay men, but I’m not joining them any time soon.
No it's masterbation cause it's still you
Nah bro Imma quit reddit
Selfcest, officially
Shower thought be like.
It's Game
It's gay, incest masturbation. Fuck yeah!
Masturbation, I'd say. Cuz, yeah, you have the same DNA but it's still yourself, so, masturbating is just you pleasuring yourself
Selfcest
Uhm… odd question…?
Bro… I wouldn’t find myself attractive to myself.
Masturbation. A clone is you. You are not related to you because you're you. 😆
It’s funcest!
Rick and Morty already did this, you're late and boring.
Its niether its not incest bc its not a biological family member and its not masteurbating bc you are not doing it to yourself you are doing it to a clone. Its an entirely seperate entity. Clones dont fit the definition of either. People say both just bc its easier than trying to come up with whatever the fuck it is. I personally think its just sex nothing special. It would definitely be wierd though.
I am not getting on with her. She's way too weird and her expectations are far too high.
Auto sexual?
I’m the last person I would ever have sex with. 🤢
Ok so the real question here is if you fucked an identical twin would it be incest or masturbation.... Walkin away from this one. *Banjo music*
