Childless couple told to try sex
A German couple who went to a fertility clinic after eight years of marriage have found out why they are still childless - they weren't having sex.
The University Clinic of Lubek said they had never heard of a case like it after examining the couple who went to see them last month for fertility tests.
Doctors subjected them to a series of examinations and found they were both apparently fertile, and should have had no trouble conceiving.
A clinic spokesman said: "When we asked them how often they had had sex, they looked blank, and said: "What do you mean?".
"We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate."
The 30-year-old wife and her 36-year-old husband are now being given sex therapy lessons while the university clinic undertakes a study to try to find out if there are more couples with a similar lack of sex education.

hold on here; what do you think 'happened' before our predecessors, millions of years ago learned to communicate verbally; and the myriad species on this planet who do not have schools with 'basic sex' on the 'phys-ed' curriculum?
Nonsense! They were 'socially' retarded by their upbringing.
Sounds like the bush demographic......
WOW!!! Did they just fly in from Mars?

Shhhhhh.....don't anybody tell them anything. Maybe they'll die out.
That story has to be bullshit. How is it possible that they didn't know where babies come from!? Come on.
They were waiting for the Stork to make a soft landing.
Is this a joke, I don't catch it?
NO, I think it's possible. They were probably really sad about all those wasted years. Bush is to blame.
I remember sometime back when I worked at admitting in a hospital - or when I was a medical assistant - prior to more
years in the field later.. let's say on the early side, I learned, and I think it was at the reservation desk (I assigned the hospital beds, my wee job for three days a week then (what, was I, 18? but serious, trust me, serious)
So, I heard of a couple where the woman han not had her hymen broken, this discovered when they came in after something like five years, to see why she couldn't have children. (I am thinking 19, I don't think I knew hymen at eighteen, as a word)
I think the situation that I remember was no joke, was a true one.
I can allllllllllmost relate, in that in the early and mid fifties I had really strange (looking back now) instruction. I was taught by my homeroom teacher when I was fourteen that pleasure in marriage is a sin.
No WONDER I turned out this way.
So, all these years later, I can begin to imagine a couple like that. Hard, I admit it is hard.
My ex wife was for many years a delivery room nurse and there were several cases where women came in to deliver babies not knowing until labor began that they were pregnant. This would seem to be a much more obvious condition. So if that can occur, I can belive that it is possible a couple might be so ignorant as to not to know sex was a requirement.
Stumble It!
