Jim had been feeling rather bad since his divorce. His wife had left him for her lover. Jim had been unaware of her affair until he caught them in his own bed. At that time, she got up naked out of the bed and said she wanted a divorce because she loved someone else.
Janet, his daughter, invited him over for dinner one particular evening while her husband, Frank, was on a business trip. They sat and talked, had wine before dinner and then had an after dinner drink. Jim talked about his lonesomeness living at home alone.
He commented he had dated one girl, but quickly broke it up since they were not very compatible.
Jim said, "She was like a cold fish and told me she detested sex. That was the end as far as I was concerned."
"I'm sorry it ended that way. You'll find another."
"It's not so easy out there in the big wide world. The girls I'm attracted to are all wearing wedding rings."
Janet quickly said, "You don't want an irate husband shooting you, so you better stay away from married women. Although, I know some married women who want to have affairs."
Jim quickly and jokingly replied, "Have you ever had an affair?"
That took Janet by surprise. She could only answer, "No"
Jim looked sternly at her, "Are you sure?"
Janet's eyes were downcast before she responded, "Please don't ever tell my husband or anybody else. I do see a man friend on rare occasions. I won't tell you his name."
"Why do you do it?"
"Frank is gone a lot on business trips and when he gets home, he often doesn't want sex. I am rather frustrated at times and feel I'm missing part of my life. I love Frank very much and don't want a divorce."
Jim and Janet didn't talk for a short time until Jim said, "That's too bad. I'm in the same fix. I haven't had sex since my wife left me. Too bad there isn't a good way to resolve our problems."
Janet grinned and jokingly said, "Dad, you are a man and I'm a woman. Maybe we can solve this problem together."
At first Jim didn't grasp what she meant, but he suddenly realized what she was saying. He said, "Wish we could, but that would be incest."
Janet then sorrowfully responded, "I guess that would be a bad idea. Although, I had a real crush on you when I was about twenty years old. At that time, I had already lost my virginity and wanted to experiment more with sex. I often wondered what sex with you would be like."
