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.

(In Joseph Heller’s novel Catch-22, Doc Daneeka reminisces to Yossarian about his days in private practice, and he talks about a couple who once came to him because they were unable to conceive a child. Despite the couple’s claims of regular sex, the doctor discovered upon examination that the wife was still a virgin. He used plastic models to demonstrate to the couple how to have sex the “correct” way, and a few days later the husband returned and punched him in the face.)
