Noun. selfcest (uncountable) (fiction, slang) Sexual activity with an alternate version of oneself, such as a clone or a version of oneself from the past, future, or an alternate universe.
The first time I stumbled upon the term was when I was obsessed with Trafalgar Law. I think many One Piece fangirls quite obsessed with him I sometimes saw Law x Law fanarts on pixiv. And I was like, what. the. hell. There is such a thing as selfcest?! How.
Me trying to understand selfcest like:
My opinion about selfcest never changed UNTIL I've became this obsessed with Bakugou Katsuki, that I finally able to understand the appeal of selfcest.
Not sure if I should confide more but whatever, mods can delete this part if needed
Okay, so I just wanted to share my experience of coming to understanding the appeal of selfcest lmao.
For starters, I never really cared about top/bottom or seme/uke dynamic in my ships. I usually like both equally. And I dig the romance more than the sexual element of shipping.
When I was obsessed with Law and my first OTP Kid x Law, I love reading doujinshis in which Law bottoming and as well as Law topping. Yes, I like Law x Kid and Kid x Law just as much.
And many other ships I like I don't mind them switching.
Even when I love Law both as top and bottom and with my obsession with Law, Law selfcest never appealed to me. It's never been about the sex for me. It's always been the romance and character dynamic more than anything. (Even now)
Now, I'm currently deep in BNHA fandom, I find myself obsessing over Bakugou Katsuki like never before. Even with Law (who I consider to be my favorite character of all time, my number one husbando, I was 99% sure it would never change, I'm not so sure anymore though), I can't ship him with anyone. I can only ship him with Kid, Robin, Hancock, and Monet. I don't like any other Law ships.
I'm very surprised to find myself can like pretty much any and every and all Bakugou ship. Even the crack one, even the immoral one, and apparently, even ships that doesn't make sense even to an avid shipper.
So, I've been reading a lot of Bakugou doujinshi, I started to like bottom Bakugou more because it got some of the best artists drawing for bottom Bakugou and Bakugou just so so damn hot as bottom oh gosh (Kiribaku, Izukatsu, Todobaku, Momobaku, Minabaku...). I partly blame the artists.
And when I read top Bakugou (Katsudeku, Bakutodo, Bakushima...), he is also such a hot top. Gosh. How can he be so perfect? When I read those doujins in which he's topping, I caught myself thinking, damn I want Bakugou the one who's bottoming!! He's the hottest bottom, I want to see others do things to him, and worship his body, but damn Bakugou also the hottest top, I want to see him topping too, what the hell? And boom, right there and then the word selfcest came to mind and realization hit me like a truck. Oh damn, now I finally get why those people draw Law x Law fanart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I've just became a next level pervert with my obsession with Bakugou aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargggh
Mods can delete this (and the thread for all I care) if it's too explicit
Despite this, I still enjoyed the romance part and character dynamic more than anything. I only become this perverted when I read some exceptionally well-drawn R-18 doujins lol
When you realized, to be able to understand the appeal of selfcest, you need to have a waifu/husbando you're very obsessed with AND ALSO be a next level pervert lol
How can you say this forum "exists" if we don't have proof of our existence? Maybe everything is some imagery created by force fields which is interpreted in our brain waves. Maybe everything around us is nothing but superimposition of these force fields.
Oh, I see it's quite popular huh. Is it more popular with male fans I wonder? Because I think it's veeery rare in doujins aimed at female. Well, at least I've never actually read selfcest doujins, only fanart (even fanart is very rare)
So that's how it's called. I was hella confused when AkashixAkashi fanarts popped up on zerochan. I don't quite get it but yeah, I've seen worse fetishes.
Just one of many hentai tags out there that'll make you wonder who has these specific fetishes.
I also see it combined with genderbending, as in fucking a female version of yourself (from a parallell universe or whatever). Doujins sure can get creative with their scenarios.
Personally it's not my cup of tea because it's too incestuous for me and that's one of the things I'm not fond of in my porn.
Actually, I've never been to Nhentai haha XD my home is pixiv, tumblr, and myreadingmanga
So I didn't know selfcest actually has it's own tag in some sites lol
First time I'm hearing about this word. But I am not familiar with most fangirling/fanboying stuff.
I thought I had a wild imagination but damn...other people's imagination can get so much wilder.
Knowing about this now, it made me think of Naruto and his clones...He can actually do this!

I see. Nhentai has a tag for basically everything from 'autopaizuri' to 'midget' to 'animal on animal', 'amputee' or 'nosefucking' and that's just what I got from clicking on a few random doujins and collecting the weirdest tags. Selfcest isn't even one of the most obscure/niche ones on there and definitely one of the less disturbing ones xD.
I think it's just a more extreme form of a twin fetish maybe? People like sexy twins because they look the same and I guess Selfcest kinda spawned from there, adding that extra spice of incest or something like that.

It's when a Futa or Tranny has such a big male sex organ that they can (and do) give themselves a titjob basically. I just learned about this today as well. The world is full of wonders...

Whoa... I have no words haha
Some people's imaginations are really something. The world is full of wonders indeed XD
I've seen selfcest stuff in fanart for quite some time, but you're right that it was pretty popular with Trafalgar Law.
I've seen it with alternate ages of the same characters and also when characters have split personalities like Akito/Agito from Air Gear or Allelujah/Hallelujah from Gundam 00
I don't really think it's that strange relative to the other fetishes that are out there... And some of the examples you listed are different versions of the same character, so they aren't full selfcest.
Also, I really should have listened to your fujoshi warning.
