I saw this story in Briefing.com this morning and thought it was a joke:<\/p>\n

\nA childless German couple finally found out why they weren’t able to conceive — they had never had sex.<\/a><\/p>\n

Doctors at the Lübeck campus of the University Clinic of Schleswig-Holstein (search) in northern Germany described the case in a medical bulletin, according to Ananova.com.<\/p>\n

After eight years of marriage, the 36-year-old man and his 30-year-old wife went to the campus’ fertility clinic to figure out what was wrong.<\/p>\n

Doctors gave them a battery of tests and were baffled — both husband and wife were healthily fertile.<\/p>\n

Then came the important question.<\/p>\n

“When we asked them how often they had had sex,” said a clinic spokesman, “they looked blank, and said: ‘What do you mean?'”<\/p>\n

He went on to explain that each of the pair had been brought up extremely religiously and had never heard of the birds and the bees.<\/p>\n

“We are not talking retarded people here,” the clinic spokesman said. The two “were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate.”<\/p>\n

The man and wife are now being given sexual therapy. The clinic is trying to find out if there are other couples in the area who could use a refresher course in human biology.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Update:<\/b> Snopes seems to think this story is an urban legend and\/or hoax<\/a>. So maybe my original thoughts were right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
