Context is Superman (1939) #204, page 22
Transcript:
Superman-T, what are you up to with that idol?
That’s my affair, Superman-X… Don’t try to interfere!
I never noticed the smile at the end!
That’s because this image is the video in reverse
That’s his affair, Aa!-X… Don’t try to interfere!
I object to this, there is exactly one thing every person on this planet would do if they had a clone, and it wouldn’t be a solo activity…well it kinda would.
There’s a really good (and very weird) book about a man who discovers a belt that allows him to travel through time. Eventually, he gets bored with just adventuring and decides to meet himself. And he keeps meeting himself. And then one thing leads to another…
And then it just gets weirder from there.

As a gay man, I’ve thought about it on more than occasion. But would straight folk? If you’re straight, what’s the reasoning being clone/AU you fuckage? Is it gay?
Great q. I think if someone’s even the tiniest bit bicurious it’s it’s conceptually the safest possible way to experiment. I imagine. Definitely gay though yeah. And somewhat incestuous.
I’m straight and I wouldn’t. Man bodies do nothing for me even my own.
Around the same time I got the notification for this I also had just commented on a thread about licking booze off a nutsack (weird thread) and I when I saw this, I was like “well obviously” lmao
And I understand what you mean…if there were a female AU/clone of me, I don’t think I’d be interested at all. Then again, just to try it, maybe? In an environmental I was sure would be judgement free. Hmm… Idk now that I think of it.
I don’t think it would be any more gay than masturbation, but I also don’t think it matters.
What better way to find out how you like certain things best, so that you can then teach future partners, no matter the gender? :p
Hard disagree. I feel bad any time my spouse has to see my naked body, and especially bad when we mash our genitals together.
Maybe it’s true for attractive people, but not fat uggos.
I might be wrong, but I don’t think it’s about being attractive or even liking your own body, it’s about the freeing feeling of being 100% honest with everything with someone. You cannot and don’t need to lie to your double, he knows everything, you know everything. Sex isn’t about genital mashing, it’s about the mind-body communions, which would be the strongest with your double.
I think you are minimizing the physical aspects of sex and the necessity of attraction for sex. Yes, good sex has connection and the mind plays a big role, but attraction is absolutely necessary for sex to be enjoyable, and I’m certainly not attracted to myself AT ALL. (I do not enjoy sexual activity with the same gender even in the slightest, which seems similarly important.)
Also, you’re assuming people are honest with themselves (BIG ASSUMPTION) and that they don’t just hate themselves. I guess you could fantasize about hate-fucking yourself, but that seems like a topic for therapy.
I don’t want to yuck your fantasy yum, but I think it’s a lot more niche than you might realize.
I would rock the ever loving shit out of my world. It would be freaky af and illegally delightful. It’s nice to finally see who I am in the mirror, but even more so it just breaks my mind regularly that I’m totally my type.
My fiance would probably be in heaven with the development as well. 😅
The Cat in the Hat Comes Back is different from how I remember.
In short he needs it to ward of a cryptonite asteroid and because there are no other sources of lead in the entire world. Especially in the 60’s…/s
