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. A clinic spokesman said: "When we asked them how often they had had sex, they looked blank, and said: "What do you mean?". 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.
TGA, did this get much press at home?

#15  Maybe it was that loony religious/research group from a few years ago that claimed to have perfected cloning?

(At least I think they were; my memory on the story's a bit foggy.)

#14   #13 Possibly a hoax but I read about this 3 days ago. The article I read mentioned they were members of a religious group that only allows them to sleep next to each other. I think this is taking osmosos way to far.

A rapidly diminishing religous group I would expect

#2  Were they Shakers or something?

Doesn't sound like they were "shaking" it very much.

As always with any contest (genetic or otherwise) it still remains that one must; "Enter to Win."
