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.
