Some times I wonder thought, like when I say have a 17 year old king and his 16 year old wife and some how she doesn't get pregnant until she's 25.
I want more Bastard children.

I vary it depending on culture. With recent converts to Christianity I normally legitimize/acknowledge them, and if I'm playing a Welsh character I always legitimize bastards (which they got criticised for at the time, but from a modern perspective seems kinda nice. It was customary for Welsh princes to treat their bastards equal (or very nearly equal) to legitimate offspring.
Use the "present debutante" decision.
There is a hidden flag on female characters created by "present debutante" that makes them more likely to get tumbled by their liege:

You know... some people try it very hard but don't get children. It happens in RL too...
The thing is in the real world it's easier for women to get pregnant the younger she is, that combined with teenage sex drives would make it rather likely for a very young queen to get pregnant rather quickly. But hey it's only a game.You know... some people try it very hard but don't get children. It happens in RL too...
I once slept (as a male) with my uncle (who was younger than me.) Gotta love having the homosexual trait.
Another time (same playthrough, four generation later), sleeping with my granddaughter-in-law. Beautiful, beautiful game.

What's really fun is using starting in CM start as a lustful hedonist, give yourself the saoshyant trait, siring many children, and checking how much of the world is descended from you in the 14th century through the saoshyant descendant trait. In my play as Karen, I had the ruling dynasties of Norway and Francia, 2 patrician houses in Venice, and the Aztec emperor.
