Want a baby? Have sex!

London - 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 spokesperson 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. - Ananova.com

This has to be one of the stupidiest stories I have seen in a long time, and it also shows why I hate deeply fanatical religious people... it makes you wonder why there are any left when you see things like this. $:-\$

So what the hell happened at their wedding night? Did they just sit and hold hands for the evening?

Attend Mittens... Then you'll find out.

"Welcome to Mittens, leave your gag reflex at the door!"

"Are you 'coming' to Mittens?"

"We're going to have sex... at... Mittens...."

Wait.. so we've still got people who don't know why it's called "Mittens"?

O_o...

Maybe it's a good thing I can't make it...

Nacho · Tue 18/05/2004 07:17:58

It'll be a straight orgy, or gay one? Because I want to know which should be the density of the condoms I should bring, the anal ones are different...

Congrats SSH, that's great to hear

I've heard that in Germany they have some different forms of sexual behaviour, Mrs Cartman style, and I think it would be pretty hard to conceive that way, Mmmm, I think they must have been doing it the wrong way.

They must have been very sheltered people without much contact with the outside world, or TV, cause surely you'd know these things by your teens let alone 30's, I don't even remember learning this stuff as I've known about it as long as I remember and before I even knew what it meant. I guess it's a gradual learning process that eventually, the pieces fit together.

I guess this is one of those very rare cases, cause surely animal instinct would kick in, or just curiosity of different body parts (I guess they probably never saw each other naked)

It seems strange that they figured out how to go to a fertility clinic, before they even knew how to conceive, makes it seem even more like a bullshit story.

Edit: ok, they were sent to a fertility clinic, but still it's a pretty sad story, I sure hope they educate their own kids better (or maybe the reason was, they weren't meant to conceive but the curiosity of others have now caused a disruption to the natural phenomenon of the situation and the offspring will be the downfall of society, the rebirth of .........)

Somehow I find the whole story hard to believe. Sexual education is part of the biology curriculum in German schools.

Dart · Tue 18/05/2004 11:45:05

... maybe the two were home-schooled and their mothers never had the heart to teach them about the Birds and the Bees?

"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 Bible does have its share of sex. Weird.

Speaking of which, there is no chance in hell a Jewish religious couple wouldn't know about sex. Of course, there is the divine law to multiply and fill the land (Don't know how it translates to English, the blessing to Man from Genesis 1). So, religious people here have plenty of children. In fact, I once came upon a document which explains to married religious couples how to perform this divine task, and it was hiliraious. So mechanical and silly. "Remove all holy books from the room", "Say this and that blessing", etc.

They're German. They probebly use the wrong hole.
