Teedz pointed me toward this bit of news:
Childless couple told to try sex
AnanovaA 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.
Sometimes I wonder if the news agencies hire people to come up with stories like this just to see how long it takes them to spread around the blogosphere.

This article gives a whole new perspective to the metaphore “living under a rock”…
That might be the scariest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m interested in knowing exactly how they thought babies were conceived? Cabbage patch? Stork?
I don’t want to sound crass here, but I know a retarded couple — they prefer to be called “challenged” — and they had no difficulty having a child. They can’t drive or figure out how to hook up a VCR, but they knew what it takes to have a baby!

Perhaps it’s good that some people don’t have kids.
Finally, poster “children” for having sex education in schools.
Silly Germans
God, I’ve been trolling for a Silly German story for a while now…

Ah HA! More proof that abstinence is 100% effective!
Having thought about this for a moment;
Perhaps these are the type of people who should not be told
about how to have sex. The pool is shallow enough as it is.
Just a bit too good to be true? http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/nosex.asp
