Okay there are two types of twins, faternal and paternal, right? I'm not sure which is which but I know one of them is two separate eggs and sperms and they just get fertilized at the same time. So in theory, could twins have different dads? Have you ever heard of this happening??

I've heard that it can happen, but it'd be extremely rare.

I haven't heard of it but twins happen only in one egg cell, not 2 egg cells. Twin kids happen because an egg cell breaks up into two somewhere along the way. Once an egg cell is fertilized, it will be by a single successful sperm cell.
The two types of twins I know of is Siamese and Identical Twins. I hope I'd be enlightened in this as well. :-)

identical twins are twins in the same egg which later splits
fraternal are twins with two different eggs but with the same dad
Twins cannot have different dads because once an egg is fertilized the uterus closes itself off, which prevents getting pregnat with more than one child at a time(except with twins and more). Also once a woman becomes pregnant a hormone is released which stops her eggs from being released, which is why women don't get their periods during pregnancy. If a woman got pregnant with her first partner, it would be impossible to get pregnant with her second partner.

Accually yes i can happen, they explained the twin situation down there, basically how it happens is sperm can live inside you for 72 hours after it has came out of the man. and if you have sex with 2 guys within 72 hours and they happen to be travenling through the tubes together and 2 eggs (very very rare usually only one egg) are going though it at the same time and happen to both get fertalized one egg by each man's sperm then it can happen.

There are only two types of twins, Fraternal and Identical. If sperm from 2 different males are introduced at the same time it is possible.

identical twins come from the same egg. Paternal twins come from two separate eggs, which could be fertilized by two different men's sperm. My advice is stop sleeping around.

I have heard of this. Of course it was a friend's friend. But apparantly one of the kids looks like one guy and the othe rlooks like the other. Who knows. Sounds possible.
