Claim: A college student engages in cybersex with a man she encounters in a chat room. When the two finally agree to get together and consummate their relationship, they discover to their horror that they are father and daughter.

Origins: This fanciful tale began circulating on the Internet in February 1997; by November the original version had been embellished. In the latter racier, more detailed version,
Discard any notions you might harbor that this badly-written, derivative tale recounts an actual incident. This story is a rather artless and overlong example of a common subtype of the "sex with the wrong partner" motif: the collegiate tale involving a parent-child or sibling-sibling sexual encounter, with the inadvertent incestuous pairing serving as punishment for the moral transgressions that brought both parties together in the first place. Some other examples of this genre of urban legend include the following:

All four stories share common elements: a college setting, brother-sister or father-daughter pairings, contrived situations (especially the "darkened room" routine, which goes back at least as far as Shakespeare's Measure for Measure) that prevent identities from being revealed until the last moment, and a sense of moral disapprobation directed at both participants. (For yet another example of this type, see the Father of the Bribe legend. Those looking for more "Dad finds out his daughter is a hooker" tales, see our Close Relations page.)
This fratboy at the UW was at a party and talked a girl into the bedroom. At the appropriate moment, he found himself unable to function due to excess alcohol consumption. He went out into the hallway for a moment and found a friend, whom he told about his problem and asked to "take care of her" while he went to drink some more. Anyway, the friend goes into the (dark) room, has sex with the girl who thinks he's someone else, and goes to sleep. In the morning, he wakes up, rolls over and is shocked to see his sister lying next to him. [Collected on the Internet, 1995] This story takes place at a frat party at some college. Apparently, some drunk frat brothers had a girl upstairs leaning half way out the window while they ran the train on her. Finally the last guy was done and pulled the girl (who was also drunk) up by the back of her [Collected on the Internet, 1995] A man travels to The woman is at fault for agreeing to bed someone she has just met, or for being so foolishly careless as to allow herself to get drunk at a fraternity party, or for engaging in prostitution.

party. She went into the room. She wanted things to be special, so she lit some candles and put on some music. She stripped naked and climbed into the bed under the covers, deciding to surprise Jeremy when he got there. The time soon came: the lights were out, the mood was right, and she heard a key in the door. She heard someone walk in and around the corner, and she whispered, "Jeremy." Jeremy said, "Katie?" (this was the false name she had given him). "Yes," she said, so he fumbled for the light, and turned it on to see Jen on the bed naked before him. Then next thing heard around the world were two blood curling screams. Jen covered herself up, and with her most humiliating voice said, "Dad?" Jeremy said, "JEN!!!"
