A CONJOINED twin has revealed what happens when she has sex with a man – despite her brother being there too.

Lori and George Schappell, from Pennsylvania, are the oldest living conjoined twins in the world and aim to lead separate lives, despite being joined at the head.

The twins share 30 per cent of their frontal lobe brain tissue and critical blood tissue, but they identify as individuals and have separate dating lives. 

The Schappell twins were born as sisters with the names Lori and Dori, but in 2007, Dori started identifying as a man and is now known as George. 

This made George and sister Lori the first same-sex conjoined twins to identify as different genders.

Lori has spoken of her desire to find a husband and have kids, and revealed she lost her virginity at the age of 23 to her second boyfriend.

George is supportive of his sister dating, but gives her privacy during her intimate moments with partners. 

Lori said: “When I went on dates, George would bring along books to read and, as we don’t face each other, he could ignore any kissing. 

“I don’t see why being a conjoined twin should stop me having a love life and feeling like a woman.”

Lori was engaged in 2006, but four months before the couple were due to tie the knot, her fiance was killed by a drunk driver.

Lori said: “It was devastating and my heart is broken.

“I am still in contact with his family and have only recently started dating again.

“George looked after me. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know if I could have lived through the heartbreak.”

Lori opened up about her future in a documentary interview for Our Life, which aired in 1997.

She said: “I would love to have myself a family – a husband and children of mine.”

George added: “Well, he [Lori’s future husband] would be like a brother-in-law to me that is it. 

“They can do whatever they do and I’ll act like I’m not even there. I would block out."

When the conjoined twins were born, a court decided their parents couldn’t care for the twins properly and they were placed in an institution in which the majority of patients were suffering from severe mental disabilities, despite neither twin having such a disability.

Lori said: “There was absolutely nothing wrong with us, apart from physically.

“But people didn’t know any better.

“We learned to look after ourselves from a very young age and got excellent grades at school.”

When the pair turned 21, they entered into a legal battle with the institution so Lori could attend secretarial college — and won.

After college Lori worked in a hospital laundry room. While she was working, George would read or listen to music.

Lori is also a champion ten-pin bowler and George performs as a country and western singer.

Lori said: “When we were born, the doctors didn’t think we’d make 30, but we proved them wrong.

“We have learned so much in the last 50 years and will continue living life to the full.”

While Lori, who is 5ft 1in, was born able-bodied, 4ft 4in George suffers from spina bifida, which has caused severe mobility problems.

As George cannot walk, he sits in a wheelchair-type stool which Lori pushes so the two can move together.

George said: “It’s the little things that intrigue people the most.

“I don’t drink but Lori loves a vodka and orange occasionally. She can feel terrible with a hangover and I’ll feel absolutely fine as our bodies are completely separate.”

Lori loves shopping for bargains, while George is more introverted and not into fashion.

While they are enjoying their own hobbies, the other twin will often “zone out”. 

Lori said: “We are able to enjoy ourselves in our own way, while the other will read a book or do a puzzle.
