I thought of that and I came to the conclusion that most adults understand how woman become pregnant, and that explaining how a woman can get pregnant with twins from two different fathers is unnecessary.
Imagine a conversation like this:
Person 1: "Hey, do you know how woman become pregnant?"
Person 2: "Yea, they have sex with a man."
Person 1: "Did you know that a woman can have twins from two different fathers?"
Person 2: "Really? How?"
Person 1: "By having sex with one guy, get impregnated, and then having sex with another guy and get impregnated by him."
Person 2: "So what you mean is, to have twins with two different fathers, a woman needs to have sex with more than one guy?"
Person 1: "Yea, basically."
Person 2: "Well no friggin' duh."
This disregards completely the explaination of the lower-level physical ways (under the header 'Conception' in the article) in which this can occur. You see why I think it is unnecessary to say
Person 1: "By having group sex with dozens of guys, getting raped by dozens of guys, threesomes, etc."

replies: text: But they may say "Yeah, but how often does that happen?".  I'm sure that there are plenty of scenarios that are not immediately thought of even with the way it is currently written – prostition, for example.  However, I 'm aware that we also need to ensure that this article is not just about humans, as it is far more common in animals.  violet/riga (t) 16:28, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't understand the question. Is the person saying, "Yea, but how often does a woman have sex with two men, one soon after the other?", or is the person asking, "Yea, but how often does a woman actually get pregnant two twins from two different fathers?" The latter question is already answered in the article, 'very rarely'. The former question doesn't make any sense, how am I suppose to know how many women have sex with multiple men? Or maybe the question is, "Yea, but in what situation would a woman have sex with two or more men, one soon after the other, and become impregnated?" If this is the question, then I don't think it is an important question to answer. Let people use their imagination. In articles for programming languages, the admins don't allow them to become references on the languages. There IS such a thing as too much information for the sake of having lots of information.--Mijokijo 17:52, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

message: In the epic Hercules, Alcmene is raped by Zeus when she had already conceived with another man.  Because of this, she had fraternal twins, each child from a different father.  Perhaps mention of this should be included in the article as a popular example? Dionyseus 07:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

This is a random obscure fact that has almost no relevance or meaning to the definition and overview of HS. I do not think warrants being the introduction.  This should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.109.199 (talk) 22:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
