For 18 years, Dad has been hiding his cloned female in the basement. Today, she decided to come upstairs. except he never gave her clothes....

Sounds like R.L. Stine got drunk penning a new Goosebumps book.
 
Why does she have to be a clone? Is her genetic identity important to the plot? If not, why couldn't it be any woman that he acquired through any means?
 
Here's a twist: It's not a clone, but a twin. (Calm down, Hypoxia) Set it in China, where they have a strict "one child" policy - having more than one is not strictly illegal, but has severe economic disincentives. So Dad hides one twin in a secret chamber in the basement, feeding her surreptitiously but otherwise keeping her in the dark about the rest of the world.

The other twin grows up normally, never suspecting she has a sibling. Until the day that the eighteen year old hidden twin happens to escape and come creeping up the stairs.

The two meet face to face, and neither knows what to make of the other. The twist is that the non-secret twin is a lesbian..... and a bit of a narcissist to boot......

If he has sex with a female clone of himself, could it be called masturbation?

How about a sci-fi/magic twist?
After obtaining a hair from a woman, he is able to use her DNA to create a clone of her. This clone only 'lives' for a few days, so he sets her up in the basement apartment his wife/family doesn't know about. During her stay is up, he is on the prowl for stray hairbrushes to pick his next clone.
 
A few considerations:

* Kidnapping humans is much easier than cloning them.
* Identical twins are natural clones. Fraternal twins aren't.
* Pure clones are the same sex. Modified clones don't need to be.
* Natural development of clones takes just as long as non-cloned child-rearing. To eliminate an 18-plus-year gap, the author needs to invent a speed-growing process (like I did in BRIDE OF KONG [02]) but may still run up against LIT's over-18-years rule. I factored that into BRIDE OF KONG also.

Then there's the classic question: Is fucking your clone a) homosexuality, b) masturbation, c) narcissism, and/or 4) redundant?

I liked the idea of a clone as being a "forbidden fruit" for ethical reasons...
 
lol, really, are you really that old, or that young, you've never heard of the Goosebumps kid/teen horror books, the tv show and two movies?

I'm 57.
Have heard the name but know nothing about it otherwise.

Instead of locking one in the basement. How about they have to share a life. They are a poor family and they can't pay the massive penalty for having a second child. Each day the twins alternate being the only child. One stays in the basement while the other goes to school, play, etc. Then they swap the next day. Eventually they get to the point where they get a boyfriend that they end up sharing. Eventually he finds out their secret due to something innocuous like a birthmark or a small cut, or whatever. He uses this to his advantage when he asks them to marry him. They all share the same house. The twins still alternate each day when they go out. At night they share the husband together.

The husband especially enjoys it since he convinces the twins to mess around with each other as well.

There are rare instances with male twins where one twin becomes female - it's a mutation involving the zygote losing a Y chromosome and developing as a female. In nature this creates a situation where the female part of the pair has developmental issues - but with this being a lab situation, it would be factored into the process.

Sure - dad is a mad scientist, there were failures but finally - success! Frankly, why not twin sister clones? One red haired and the other a raven black brunette? Have dad the mad scientist be in his 40's, with his twin clone 'sisters' in their late 20's.

Why not a fucking great time and a hell of a out of fun?

Now THAT is a good idea!
