In reply to the discussion: 76 Things Banned In Leviticus (perhaps it’s time to lay off quoting 18:22 for a while?) [View all]JHB
(38,178 posts)45. Read down a little farther:
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

I suppose you could say that since "he perceived not", it didn't qualify as sex on his part (he didn't know that he knew them), but no virgin births here: those boys got started by the standard procedure.
