Seems like they’re too wrapped up in each other to date anyone, but if not there’s no reason they couldn’t share a single partner who wants to handle both of them. Seems like the most natural edge case in favor of polygamy you could have.
If you watch through the video, when they were little they tried to separate them for awhile to have them become more separate people. Apparently neither of them would stop screaming until they were reunited. I think that’s what the comment above was getting at.
It struck me yesterday that some of the multiples I’ve known - people with Dissociative Identity Disorder, to the rest of you “singletons” - make an interesting counterpoint to this.
These women seem dead serious that they consider themselves one person, despite there being two bodies involved. My multiple friends have all been very definite that they were separate identities, despite having to share a body. Once I’d gotten to know some of them, it was very easy to see when they were being one person and when another; they’d shift noticeably in manner, in voice, in breathing and carriage when they “switched” from one self to another.
Identity and sense of self isn’t always as simple as people would like it to be.
(BTW, I have zero patience for anybody who wants to be an asshole with standard talking points about “DID is a made-up disorder” and similar. Fair warning, take that tack with me and I will mock or ignore you, because you are talking about real humans who are my friends.)

Yeah I feel like most people who doubt it haven’t experienced someone who has DID. A fellow I know has it, and he’s either an AMAZING actor or isn’t lying. Being around him feels “off” when he’s not his normal personality (even if he hasn’t mentioned it), and I suppose that’s just basically because his personality has shifted and therefore he’s different than he usually is.
