YES! Being a "twin" just means you're born at the same time as another baby from the same womb. If two eggs are fertilized by different men in a short amount of time, conception of fraternal (non-identical) twins can occur. I know someone who adopted twins--but the girls aren't identical, they're fraternal. One has a Caucasian father and the other has an African American father.

If they are fraternal twins, yes. If you release two eggs naturally and have sex with two men during the time when you are most likely to have the eggs fertilized, it is possible for one man's sperm to go to one egg and the other man's sperm to the other egg.
In respose to a previous answer, the egg splitting in two during the first stage of meiosis is only one way to have twins. That case would yield identical twins with the same genetic makeup.

Actually it is possible. If a woman is sexually active with two men during her ovaulation period and two eggs are feritlized by each man's sperm the babies will have two different fathers and same mother but be twins. I know itsounds crazy but it is a rare instince and it happens only happens like one in a million, this being a guess. But it is possible.

Yes, they would have to be fraternal twins, because identical twins are formed when a fertilized egg separates. Fraternal twins, however, could have different fathers.

If a female has sexual intercourse with two males at short intervals within the same ovulatory period, superfecundation may occur. The results showed that each twin had come from a different father. its called superfecundation twins. when they are twins but have seperate fathers.

Only if you're a cat!
OK, seriously. In theory, if you had sex with 2 men within a few minutes, it would be possible. But in practice, this is pretty far-fetched. Once one sperm penetrates an egg, you are pregnant. Two sperms from 2 different men would have to penetrate the egg at the same time. Other possibility is that you had released 2 eggs, and a sperm from each man would have to penetrate each egg. So, although it is within the realms of possibility, I wouldn't count on it ever happening.

Yes actually because one girl I know had a white baby girl and a brown baby girl at the same time. And there were from different fathers. SO yes it is possible

Yes they can. Fraternal twins are conceived when TWO separate eggs are fertilized. It doesn't have to be from the same man. If you're with two different men while you're ovulating, it's skanky, but possible.
Shadow_walker: do some research....
