alt title(s): Selfcest

"MY VERY OWN CLONE!"
"NOW NEITHER OF US WILL BE VIRGINS"
— From a series of Robotnik coloring book edits

As regards sexual intercourse with older or younger copies of yourself, it's incest in branching or changeable timelines, and masturbation in inevitable timelines. In either case, yes, it is gay.
tailsteak.com, "Basic Time Travel Etiquette"

It's a simple tale: Person photocopies self, or travels to an Alternate Universe, or another time. Person meets self. Both selves make beautiful music together. After all, what better person to be most intimate with?

Probably more prevalent in fanfiction than in original works, but it's out there. Technically, any intimacy between a character and their Enemy Without will be Selfcest, too.

Expect much argument amongst the characters and/or fans as if this qualifies as actual sex, incest, or masturbation.

Also known as selfcest, autoincest, or incesturbation. See also Opposite Sex Clone, Twincest, My Own Grampa.

In Real Life, a person who would like to do this is a Narcissist — or in truly extreme cases, an autosexual.
