Does anyone personally know fraternal twins with different fathers?

It's rare, but it does happen... with fraternal twins, two different eggs are fertilized by two different sperm. If you have sex with two men in a short period of time, it's possible to have one egg fertilized by the first guy's sperm and then the second egg fertilized by the other guy's sperm...

No, I don't personally know fraternal twins with different fathers, but I know it is quite possible. Sperm stay alive the the woman's body for up to 3 days, so she could have slept slept with two (or more) men within that time frame, sperm from different men could all be in her body, vying for possible multiple eggs released, waiting for fertilization.

That is possible, but very unlikely, if two men have sex with the same women within a fairly short time frame, if the second man has sex with the woman while the sperm from the first man is still swimming around. It could also happen with artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization if sperm from more than one man is used to impregnate the woman. I don't know any such twins, but I'm sure they exist.

i think thats impossible.
when the sperm of a man reaches the egg of a woman a protective coating covers the egg.this does not allow any other semen to get to the egg.therefor no other man can fertilize the allready fertilized egg.

I don't know any, but I suppose it's biologically possible.
