DOH!

LONDON, May 18 (UPI) -- A German husband and wife were sent to sex therapy
after admitting to doctors at a fertility clinic that they had never made love.
The husband, 36, and his wife, 32, thought all they had to do to make a baby
was to lie next to each other and something would happen, the Mirror reported
Tuesday.
When nothing besides sleep happened, they saved $12,460 and went to an in-vitro
fertilization clinic at the University of Luebeck in Germany.
"We're not talking about retards here, but a couple who were brought up in a
strict religious environment who simply did not know how babies were created,"
said a clinic spokesman.
"It was only after they were subjected to a battery of tests and both were
found to be perfectly fertile that we asked them how often they had sex.
"The husband said, 'We're not exactly sure what you mean.'"
The couple are now in a sexual therapy course.
