German couple shocked to learn that they must have sex to get pregnant

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.
Anyone else grow up this sheltered? I wasn't nearly this naive, but when I was younger and just learning about sexuality, my mother's ability to keep me sheltered from porn and other nonsense of the sort gave me a huge learning curve. Regardless, I've overcome that hurdle to become the massive sex god that I am today.

Even in strict house homes, kids learn about things from other kids, the media, asking questions, etc.. These people must have really been quarantined from the rest of the world.

as great as this story is, i REALLY doubt it's true. usually people keep things like this confidential unless the patient agree. and these two don't sound like the type that would like people discussing their sex lives.

How were they trying to have children if not by sex?

He'd kill me if he knew I was mentioning this, but one of my friend's didn't know that babies came out of the vagina 'til he was 18 years old (senior in high school). He thought all babies were cut out via cesarian (sue me if it's spelled wrong) section.

The first time they do it is either going to be very akward, or the greatest feat of sexual prowess man has ever known.

I bet he gives her such an efficient German sexing that they time travel.

I never thought anyone could live to be 18 years old and not know that babies came out of a vagina as well, but the guy that Redjake is talking about is true. He's one of my friends.

Yikes, they must have had NO social life outside of church, NO television, and NO education about life in general.

I'm not so surprised. When I was in dissection some years back, a girl on my table (Canadian aged 23 at the time, now a doctor) was utterly shocked to learn that the human penis has 2 functions... An amazing mixture of surprise and disgust went across her face which I won't forget in a hurry.

Wow! I'm the exact opposite. I grew up with a mother who taught the sex ed classes at my junior high school. I used to get a box of condoms in my stocking at Xmas, so, I was at the other end of the sex information spectrum.

There is sex ed in our system. I think those people came from a extreme religious sect.
