Would you have an affair to get pregnant?

Well, I know thats probably unlikely, but was just reading about some cultures around the world where that is pretty normal behaviour;

Any thoughts!?

NO

My gran told me it was pretty much "normal" in her day - if no babies were forthcoming within the marriage you'd get the old man drunk and passed out and nip out for a knee-trembler.

Brilliant!

I agree. Although maybe if circumstances were different our attitudes would be different?

Anyone else have any stories to share?

I have read that some women get found out if the baby needs treatment later in life and the tissue cross match shows dad isnt a match because he isnt the dad.

Pretty extreme though.

Yes, I think I read somewhere that 10% of children are not biologically their fathers'.. although this might not have been because their mother's husband was infertile/impotent, could have just been a good old fashioned affair.

I think I also read that in the old days when newborns were all put in a larger nursery together at the hospital mix-ups also got made, also found later in life due to medical treatment, when they matched neither father nor mother! But don't think that happens any more.

absolutely not, not under any circumstances what so ever. I love Rob to bits and had to wait a fair while for anything to happen.

Jandan 100% of children are biologically their fathers!

Good point!!!

I can't think of an equivalent to biological father for this circumstance - "the man who I grew up thinking was my biological father but turned out not to be". Not so catchy is it?
