None of the above…it would have to be a new category..as it is a new type of being: clonecest..as it could be for any or some of the reasons postulated..

The act of sleeping with a clone of yourself would surely be deemed both gay and incestuous, mainly because – despite being genetically identical, you and the clone would be different people, shaped by different experiences and different paths through life.
You could argue that you and your clone may have a similar upbringing, but an ‘identical’ upbringing is a relative impossibility, because there are plenty of things in this life that cannot be done by two people at once.
These subtle variations in experience and consequence could well equate to much more dramatic variations in life choices such as interests, beliefs and views.
Ultimately yourself and your clone would not be one in the same person, and you would likely view them as a sibling, having the same differences of opinion, and disagreements twins, for example, may have.
For those who remain curious about having sexual experiences with beings in their own image, perhaps robotic drones would be more appropriate, until there’s always something to be said for misappropriation of a good ol’ mirror.

It would be the materialization of self-love, the prerequisite of all other expressions of love.

To be blunt, I would label it megalomania and narcissism.
