Is it incest or masturbation if you have sex with your clone?

in Simulacra and Simulation, Baudrillard analyses cloning as "eliminat[ing] all alterity", replacing reproduction with an indefinite repetition of the Same. Cloning, for Baudrillard, is a radical endogamy, a sort of ultra-incest. Having sex with ones clone would then be a kind of doubled incest.

Baudrilard also views transsexuality as an elimination of alterity (difference) and saw society, post-sexual revolution, as being plunged into a kind of general gender confusion. The transsexual eliminates difference by instantiating indifference, especially through a self-conscious 'performance' of gendered signifiers - as he describes it, an 'erotic simulacra', where 'everyone becomes the impresario of his/her own appearance'. I think there's an obvious affinity with the autoerotic here, and trans women's autoerotic feelings have often been used to discredit or pathologize us (per 'autogynephilia').

If incest (cloning) and autoeroticism (transsexuality) both eliminate difference, then having sex with ones clone is both doubly incestuous and doubly autoerotic. Perhaps we could see clone sex as a playful metaphor for t4t sexuality - the most dangerous, tabooed, death driven, sinful intimacy. In this way the doubling of the incest & autoeroticism acts as a double negative & it paradoxically becomes a transgressive xenophilic exogamy.

As my friend Maxwell said, "you can live long enough to enjoy poststructuralist skywriting if you give up all the things that would make you want to"

Masturbation is when you are pleasuring urself, and incest is when you have sex with another person from your family.
It might be a clone of you but if it has individual feelings, emotions and psych. Then the might be recognised as an identical twin. Basically there are twins formed out of the same zygote. So, basically ur clone with its own set of feelings and psych would be like your identical twin. also another thing to consider would be that the clone's made out of ur DNA so with matching DNA you guys are family. Hence, it would be incest.
Now if the clone you talking is like an brainless, emotionless doppelganger of you then its no more than a doll. Hence using it as a sex toy would be considered masturbation.

This is the most interesting and thought provoking question I have seen this weekend! Good on ya! I am going to have to ponder this one for a while. I'll try and get back with a response later.

I'd say narcissisary

[ecfresh]

If forced to have sex with my clone it’s at least a three some because I like women. We would agree our swords don’t cross.

[Dargil]

My clone would be male, so nothing.

[alice55]

It's narcissism.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would think It would be something else?

[AlexEfron]

1. Its gay
2. Its rape (even your clone wouldn't wanna have sex with you 😆)

[YourFutureEx]

😒 Even my clone would be intelligent enough to not to get his ass pounded.

[AlexEfron]

[MeatPuppet]
