I've not made a suggestion before but this popped up in fromt of me this evening and I thought it a great suggestion.

"I want a threesome with my wife now and my wife when we met 20 years ago (She'd be mid 20's)"
"I want a threesome with my wife now and my wife when we met 20 years ago (She'd be mid 20's)"
The obvious is the 3rd in the threesome is their daughter who's a spitting image of her mother 20 years ago.

I watched a Dr. Who minisode which had one of the Dr's companions picturing a threesome with his wife and his wife five minutes from then. That character got slapped.
Reminds me of Heinlein's Lazarus Long, going back in time to impregnate his mother with himself. An immortal man who is both the father & the son. All he needed was a taste for whiskey to make the trinity.
If a gay guy goes back in time and hooks up with himself is that incest or masturbation?
Heinlein's Lazarus Long, going back in time to impregnate his mother with himself.
That is incorrect.
While Lazarus Long DID go back in time and have sex with Maureen Johnson Smith, she was ALREADY pregnant at the time. During their first attempt to have sex - at the time, in or using the backseat from the Ford he was driving - they were foiled because a young Woodrow Wilson Smith was IN the backseat, because Sergeant Ted Bronson had promised to take him to Electric Park.
Woodrow Wilson Smith later grew up to be Lazarus Long, who used the name Ted Bronson during his time travel visit to Kansas.
During a previous engagement in the Starship Dora, Lazarus had sex with Lapis Lazuli Long and Lorelei Lee Long, who were female clones that were his genetic duplicates, as the geneticists duplicated his X chromosome so they'd be female. The discussion was that it would effectively be masturbation at worse, and not incest (and in his case, due to having a clean gene chart, no issues with progeny should he impregnate them).
Thus, your time traveling man having sex with himself - which was written about by Heinlein in 'All You Zombies' and Gerrold in 'The Man Who Folded Himself,' among others, would be masturbating.
ETA: I just realized something scary - I did ZERO research before writing this response, because I already KNOW all of this stuff. How many times did I read those books?

Hehehe.
Whenever somebody starts speculating about weird relationships possible with time travel, I just bring up "All You Zombies" -- it's all been done.
How many times did I read those books?
The only wrong answer would be, "Too many." It's Heinlein!
Be happy that you can remember them. I read and re-read everything Heinlein put out to the point of replacing my falling apart books. Now all I can remember are snippets and general ideas.
Hehe, I was following along your post above going yup, yup, yup as you make each of your points.

It just happened in the current broadcast (HBO+) of The Time-Traveler's Wife, where the TT's father catches him in the act of quite literally 'playing with himself', and the father freaks out over seeing two different versions of his son at the same time.

Brilliant. Just pure brilliant.

I'm running into that situation in A True History with familial relationships. It's something a lot of royal families deal with, too, marrying cousins.
