    “Time Enough for Love” by Robert Heinlein 😬 about a man that, basically, can live forever.

    spoiler

    He and his descendants live for so long, that sex loses meaning, and becomes some sort of “adult playtime” that he, inevitably, has with his actual children. Granted, the children are also like a thousand years old at this point too, but, still.

      Lazarus Long? IIRC he’s also his own parents due to time travel shenanigans. During his early adulthood, he gets a one night stand pregnant and never sees her again. A couple hundred years later he transitions to a woman, for reasons, goes back in time, gets pregnant from a one night stand with a drifter. Both are him. Robert Heinline was a little messed up.
