In the title compound, C18H32N4O2S2, the dihedral angle between the two thiourea groups is 78.55 (7)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds and the crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers.
