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.

Wow. Um. Words fail me.


UPDATE: Turns out "oops!" was the right title for this entry, as I really should have snopes'ed the story... Duh.

Well, in my defense, the article that I read certainly was somewhat more believable than the one quoted in snopes. But indeed, some of the points they make do apply, and this instance of it is clearly no more true than any of the others.

I wonder how I originally came across the story. Ah well.
