I'm a professional fire/sideshow performer and certified freak. I know a lot about things that are weird, morbid, or dangerous. I also have a split tongue and love to show it off. I'm fun at parties :)
I have a partner so not really? If anything it made dating harder because people are scared of it and I was always upfront about it. Other freaks love it however, as do dentists lol
Incredibly, but good fire performers are insured professionals for a reason. In addition to the obvious dangers of burns and fire spreading, fire eaters and breathers risk chemical pneumonia. Sword swallowers risk permeated stomachs.
Hard to say since I've had it since 2017. It still functions the same as a regular tongue but has additional features so make of that what you will. Fwiw I'm a gay woman.
