Learn the woman’s last name before sleeping with her. Otherwise you may show up at your dad’s wedding rehearsal dinner and be introduced to the woman you slept with the night before as your half-sister who you haven’t seen in almost 20 years.

and? was the sex good?
they always leave out the most important details
Just think, “I love you like a brother” is no longer a friendzone line!
oops!
Doesn’t matter, had sex.
^ This
Totally. If it was a good shag then who cares if you share a parent and didn’t know?
Shouldn’t do it anyway. Wait until you’re married to someone before doing it.
Yep.
Remind me which state lets you marrie half siblings?
^marry.
Muphry’s law.
“All states prohibit marriage between a person and a sibling, half sibling, parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew. Some states that permit marriage among first cousins also require genetic counseling.”
http://public.getlegal.com/legal-info-center/marriage
Fun fact (my Dad was a lawyer when I was a kid): The state of North Carolina will allow you to marry your first cousin, but not your double first cousin.
Ah, that makes sense. Cousins are generally considered distant enough (12.5% genetically related) to be safe, but double cousins are as related as grandparents and grandchildren or aunts/uncles and nephews/nieces (25%).
My great-grandmother’s sister married my great-grandfather’s brother, so my grandfather and his cousins were double cousins. My side of the family didn’t even know this until I unearthed the info while tracing my family tree a few years ago. It helped to explain why my third cousin looked so much more than my dad than I’d have expected! No wincest, though.
My husbands aunt on his moms side married his first cousin on his dads side.
wow, your family tree is even more of a tangled shrubbery than mine!
‘Husbands aunt married his…’
you mean her?
I think by his they mean husband’s first cousin….
My husbands aunt (husband’s mom’s sister) married his (husband’s first cousin on husband’s dad side)
Damn that Muphry.
Hahahahaha.
No.
Is there any situation when you are married but not “to someone”?
dendrophilia
Is it just me, or does that seem kind of late to find out she’s lousy in the sack?
Ur a one trick pony, aren’t you?
lololololololol
Try before you buy.
Can’t tell if trolling or trapped in Victorian England.
you obviously haven’t been around here long or you would know the answer
Victorian England.
Or current day Utah.
Nah, Mm just doesn’t have the morals of a cat in heat.
In King Arthur land……..hello, Mordred.
I gotta get married so I can screw my sister and that’s ok? Yay, sis, wedding bells are ringing! jesus loves you just a bit less than I’m gonna
Oops.
But THEN what happened?
thats some prime time wincest right there
“Wincest” is my new favorite term EVER.
no fail. HALF-sister. and if she found you attractive as well, no harm no foul.
a little embarrassing maybe, but FAIL, nah……
I could be wrong, but I think you might be confusing “half” and “step”. With half-sibling, there’s still a biological link via the parent but there’s no biological link between step-siblings. So I’d say probably a fail but let’s just hope there are no 6-fingered babies to remind them of their oopsy!
Half-siblings are as closely related as e.g. aunts and nephews, or grandparents and grandchildren. Would you sleep with your grandparents? Or your siblings’ kids?
(sorry, that reply was meant for Juliet)
Depends. What do they look like?
sibling is 20 years older than you and has a kid your age
Seems fine, though somewhat hillbilly-ish.
And that that point, the genes are probably pretty diversified anyways.
Besides, even with direct siblings, the odds of getting a baby with problems are not great, unless your family tree is triffled with bad apples. The sibling thing is more for the cases where there are many bad genes in the family.
Most of us do have “bad genes” somewhere in our makeup, but most of those are recessive (to oversimplify things a bit) and won’t come out unless your partner happens to have the same problems. Outside of your immediate family, the chances are usually fairly remote. But within it, that’s different. I’m sure you wouldn’t really do your aunt. You share 25% – a whole quarter – of your genetic makeup with her.
Extra digits is a dominant trait. So, a kid won’t have it unless one of the parents do. Incest isn’t going to increase the odds for it.
Yeah. HALF sister. As in, NOT STEP SISTER, which might be okay.
They’re still related by blood, retard.
“Half” means they still have either the same father or mother, just not both.
And I’d guess they share a dad, since it was dad’s wedding.
Yeah, it’s only HALF wrong.
*looks around*
Really, no one yet?
OK….
FAKE
and gay perhaps?
Only if OP is a woman.
Oh totally. Probably straight from a sitcom (as the title suggests).
Yeah, Two and a Half Men
So… Just because it happened in a sitcom, it couldn’t possibly happen in real life? I heard a toilet flush in a sitcom. Does that mean toilets no longer flush in real life?
Granted, the situation is unlikely as all get out, but, then again, so are a lot of fails here, and don’t even get me started on the likelihood of you having been you.
King Arthur did it first…..
O hai Theon Greyjoy
She was a lusty wench who could catch axes in mid air
Reek, reek, it rhymes with weak…
did she recognize you?
To sum up, instead of posting multiple comments:
I think calling it a half fail is hilarious. As long as protection was used and no permanent results occurred, then, “let us never speak of this again.”
And great, now I’ve had some manner of detail in Game of Thrones given away.
Wasn’t this the plot of at least one episode of “Two and a Half Men”?
…

I see some very awkward family dinners in the future.
You mean some very sexy family dinners.
Are you wearing velure right now?
some very family sexy dinners?
This could be a very clever PSA poster on the importance of birth control.
AHAHAHA!!! OUCH!
he’s still related to her. that’s what’s funny! she’s still either his mom’s daughter, or his dad’s daughter! once again, ouch.
Genetic sexual attraction strikes again.
The failure here is not keeping in touch with your relatives in the first place!
why? they’re special because you are slightly more genetically similar?
Exactly. And if she’s a half-sister, he might not even know she existed. She might be the result of an extramarital affair that was hushed up, for all we know. Obviously that isn’t quite what happened here as it says he hasn’t seen her in almost 20 years, but there are other reasons for not keeping in touch with your family. Just because you’re genetically related doesn’t mean you like each other. And, y’know, most abuse happens within families.
use condoms.
As we all know the only reason to not sleep with siblings is due to the creation of children with genetic abnormalities. The fact that you slept together while taboo is not a fail. Marrying each other without knowing would have been.
Really? The only reason? Freud would love you carnally.
It is, actually. The reason for the taboo (i.e. what Freud would jump on) existing within all known human societies, is exactly this.
I think you can create children with genetic abnormalites without walking down the aisle first.
Was this on “Days of Our Lives” or “All My Children”?
If I’d been drinking when I read that comment I’d be wiping Coke off my monitor right now.
Neither. Two and a Half Men. But that’s beside the point.
Same thing, but in 2.5 men, the acting wasn’t up to the standards of DoOL or AMC.
Are you saying that DoOL or AMC has good acting?
My favorite English lit prof ADORED Byron in ways that were slightly unhealthy. During one lecture, this very sane and otherwise rational woman said “People make a big deal about him sleeping with his sister. But really, she was only his HALF sister.” Oh, Professor. I miss that woman so much.
I think since it was an honest accident the more important question is; did it ever happen again?
Meh.. screw it… oh wait he did.
Ha ha ha ha! Well, that serves you right for hopping into bed with strangers! Ha ha ha ha!
