Stranger than fiction: It had to happen

That would be a good plot bunny. Perhaps someone here has already written something like this(?)
 
Doesn't top the mother who gave up her son, found him years later on facebook then met him and had sex with him(not telling him who she was at the time)

But this really does not surprise me. The internet has created an amazing playground for cheats, both men and women.

All joking aside I think that it is pretty sad when you have a website like "Ashley Madison" who's catch phrase is "Life is short have an affair"

I mean sure plot bunnies galore, but thinking of it in real life terms, sad and pathetic comes to mind. Well that and cheating dogs.

Considering how many authors and stories are here it would be pretty hard to find something that has not been done.

I do think I saw something pretty close to this in story ideas before.
 
I've seen some very sad "siblings separated at birth" stories. People who met, fell in love, even married, then found out they were brother and sister.

But at that point it should be, who cares?

If I am not mistaken the Westermarck effect mentions that if siblings were separated a young age and met years later there is a high probability they would be strongly attracted to each other.

I agree. What happens between consenting adults is their business. Unfortunately not everybody sees it that way (including the couples, sometimes).

That's exactly why I always refused to date anyone younger than me. I was adopted at birth and one of the snippets I learned about the birth parents over time was that I have two younger brothers. My ex is exactly 9 months younger than me, so I figured he was safe....at least in that respect.

The trick is to steer clear of DNA tests...
 
I remember reading an advice column where a guy wrote in to say that he'd done some research and found out that he and his wife were half-siblings. Each of their mothers had gone to a sperm bank, and ended up with sperm from the same donor -- and not at the same sperm bank (or fertility clinic or whatever). He was weirded out, but had not told his wife. I wonder what happened there.

That is weird. What are the odds?

Seeing they are already married I would have had to do some serious thinking about whether or not to tell her.

But half is not full blood and it does not change the past and why you fell in love. I think that could do more harm than good.

I bet someone could calculate the odds, but I don't know. As I recall, the columnist theorized this may be, or become, more common as more children who were conceived this way get older, look for mates, etc. She also told him, I think, not to worry too much about it.

I think the main problem was that since he'd found that out, he was weirded out and couldn't look at his wife the same way, and of course she didn't know why. I do hope they got it sorted out somehow.

What are the odds that the same guy went to two different clinics to jerkoff into a cup? The guy really must like to jerkoff or those places pay a lot for your junk in a cup. :devil: :D

Plot bunny? Did you read it? The whole story's already there. And I don't think any writer could have written up a better story. I mean, the daughter-in-law lies and says her husband is in jail and at the end, that's where he is. Talk about a comedy of errors.

Well, yes, a plot bunny. A true writer would pounce on something like that with the interest of twisting it around to something else other than someone else's story.
 
I've toyed around with this basic idea. I have an unfinished story somewhere in which a middle-aged man meets and has sex with a woman half his age, then finds out later it was his own daughter, which he never knew about.

My time-travel series has the main character going back in time to become his own father. He's not aware of that fact until after the consummation.

With the story as presented, I could see a variation in which the young woman seduces the older man (they are both ignorant of the fact that he is her father-in-law), he becomes thoroughly infatuated with her, and eventually agrees to kill her husband so that they can be together. Only when he comes face-to-face with the man does he realize he has come to murder his own son.

And then, the conflict: to kill or not to kill. What's more important for the father, personal bliss, or reconciliation with a long-lost child?
