This is really something else:
Childless couple told to try sexA 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.
Are you kidding me? Despite this being a very rare situation, this is an extreme example of why sex education is vital. Give me a break! Are you telling me that she never reached over in the morning and said "hey? What's that all about?" No burning in the loins? No aching desire? No intense curiosity? EIGHT YEARS? For someone who got horny at the sight of Tom Cruise at the age of nine (and felt compelled to do something about it), I just cannot comprehend this.
