{I got this story from an email contact. She calls herself Gemineye, and knows all about my interest in stories where "good women" are swept up suddenly in desires that threaten to get out of control. There was a story Gemineye read recently about a guy and woman who got the guy's older brother to make her pregnant. She said she knew a story that was twice as crazy β it was about her, and her husband's twin brother.}

I never cared much for sex. Maybe for a couple of years after Danny and I got married. I wanted it maybe once every couple of weeks. Danny wanted it once a week, at least, and I gave in. Sex made me feel good, but I'm not sure I every really had an orgasm. Goes to show you how ignorant a couple of kids can be. All I had to go on was a couple of descriptions I read somewhere. A Cosmopolitan in the doctor's office, I think it was, or some magazine I wouldn't care to look at anywhere else. Long story short β the only reason I was halfway interested in sex, apart from the fact I liked making Danny feel good, was to get pregnant.
From the day we got married, Danny and I wanted kids. We never used protection. Seven years later, we figured we better head to the doctor's office. The bad news was, Danny's sperm count was pretty low. The doctor offered a bunch of ways to take care of our problem, including going to a sperm bank, but that didn't appeal to us at all. I remember catching the doctor's eye near the end of that conversation, and I kind of thought he was going to make an indecent proposal on the spot. I'm not bragging or anything, but I'm in good shape. About 5 foot 7, 36B, a 25 inch waist, and I jog at least three miles every day.
At the end of our last visit to him, Doctor Durkman said, "Well, if you keep trying, things could work out some day. You never know." He told me to stay healthy and cut down on my coffee. He told Danny to exercise, lose about 40 pounds, and eat lots of oysters. Danny ate oysters and mussels and you name it till the whales came home, but the only new addition to our lives was another 15 pounds around Danny's gut.
Life, apart from this, was good. Danny had a good job in middle management at a credit card company. I was between assignments as a customer relations consultant for a national agency.
Then one day we got a phone call. Danny's twin brother George had a couple of months' stress leave from the navy. He'd been stationed in Hawaii, Guam, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf -- just about everywhere you could name. He wasn't much for keeping in touch with Danny or anyone else β a real no-nonsense, no flowers, no wasted words kind of guy. The biggest difference between George and Danny was in the body department. George stayed in shape. A second big difference -- George went on these party benders every once in a while. A nice hard-working straight arrow kind of guy for a couple of weeks, and then he'd booze it up for 72 hours solid on a weekend furlough, and then back to the daily grind.
And, oh yeah, a third big difference was in the politeness department. George could be as rude and crude as a sailor could be. He'd use the four-letter words like they were the ordinary way to talk about things. There were times when Danny had to punch George in the arm and say stuff like, "Jesus Christ, George β there are ladies present!" George also wouldn't think twice about saying stuff like, "Woman, get me a beer" or "Me and the boys were just out looking for a little poontang." He always said it with a half-smile, and as if it was in quotation marks or something, so that he figured he wasn't really being an asshole.
We asked George to stay with us, if he wanted to. Danny got along with him just fine. They were actually good friends, and rivals in everything. They just never got together more than once every 2 or 3 years. The first night George was with us, we had a great old dinner and drained about 5 bottles of Merlot. Near the end of the evening, we found out why George was on leave. There was an ugly incident in Guam. George took one of the base secretaries home from a bar. She said she was on the pill. They had sex twice, and four weeks later she claimed she was pregnant. George admitted to the sex, but disputed that he was the father. The woman took him to court, and sure enough, after the blood tests, he was the guilty party. There was about 5 weeks of legal wrangling, and at the end of it all George agreed to make a one-time payment of so many dollars.
Danny told me another story about George later that night, when we were in bed. George was in trouble for something like this once before. In high school, he had sex once with the mayor's daughter, the head cheerleader. He even had a condom, but it slipped off or something.
When Danny finished the story, I said, "Looks like he gets all the luck, huh?" Danny didn't understand me, so I said: "You two guys are twins, but you got the low sperm count, and he's already been a daddy twice β by accident!" Danny looked at me in a funny way. I mean, he agreed with me, but I could tell that the same idea that had crossed my mind was now crossing his.
We talked about it off and on for about 5 days. I'd say, "It's too crazy. We simply couldn't ask George to help us out." And then Danny would say, "But it's the perfect way β our baby would probably look like me, and the DNA would be the same. No one would see or know." A day later, Danny would be saying, "Naw, it's too crazy," and this time it was me that would be using the DNA argument. And then on the fifth night, we agreed that Danny would at least mention our problem to George.
The two of them went out drinking. Near the end of the night, Danny told George about how bad we wanted a baby. George listened to the long sad tale, and Danny suddenly got up the nerve to ask if George would mind helping us out. They laughed a lot, and drank some more, and at some point George finally got the idea that Danny was halfway serious about this. Danny had in mind that George would masturbate, and then Danny would somehow transfer the sperm to my ovulating womb. George just looked at his pudgy twin brother and said, "Danny, I'd really fucking love to help you out. If you and Maggie are really serious about this, I'll give you a hand. But not like that. I mean, fer fucksake, I'm not gonna jerk off in a cup or any of that kind of crap. Why don't you just give me a quick in-out with her? That way it'll all be natural and fast."
The two of them drank on it, and swore themselves to secrecy, and then drank and shook on it some more. I didn't find out about the conversation till the next night, after George took off for a couple of days, saying he'd be visiting a friend out of town. I told Danny I'd think about it. I really didn't think it would ever come this far, and even when I imagined it happening, I figured it would be a medical thing in some way, not personal. The next day, I kind of got used to the idea, and that night Danny and I talked about how we might go about doing this crazy plan. I said, "Listen, Danny. You know I'm no great shakes in bed anyway. I just don't get off on it like I'm supposed to. I think it would be a pretty mechanical thing."
Danny said, "It would still be adultery. It still sounds really dangerous."
"Yeah," I said. "But not dangerous like you'd normally think it would be. I mean, I don't care much for it in the first place, and I really don't care much for George. Sorry, but you know that. When he gets as crude as he can get, it makes my skin crawl."
