Childless Couple told to try sex

Apparantly, the reason they hadn't gotten pregnant is they weren't having sex?

Is this a for real article? Or an urban legend?

LOL Who, that one takes the cake! It probably IS true. I once heard of a couple (also very religious) who were having difficulty in that their sexual relations were impossible and any attempts were very painful. They visited the doctor and what had been happening was that instead of the male entering the vaginal opening during intercourse, he was attempting to enter his wife through her urethra (I guess that's the term). OUCH!!!

Not sure if the first one is an Urban Legend but the one Eliz mentioned might be as I hear that particular story a long, long time ago...

That particular story was one told to me by a friend about a couple he attended church with.

Omg...wow, Eliz...really hard to believe there's more than one couple out there who could make the same ridiculous mistake!

I heard that particular story at least 20 years ago!

It is sad to know there are still people in today's world and especially in America who are clueless. We had a couple in church who didn't know they were supposed to feed their baby. The child became dehydrated, lost weight and came close to expiring. When they brought her to church my mother drove them all to the hospital, then began spending days teaching the parents about what was expected of them.

I work in a children's hospital. Sometimes I have to ask "why do you need a class and practice before you take a test to get a license to drive a car, but no one thinks you need to have classes and a license to have a baby."

Eliz's story I didn't check as I believe it - and I bet it's not as uncommon as alot of people might think - especially 40 to 50 years ago. A dear lady I knew in college was forced to get married at the age of 12 because her parents thought she had slept with a neighbor boy, aged 15. They both were virgins, was 16 months before they even attemted to have sex and when they did he didn't know what he was doing and basically did the same as Eliz's story.

It just boggles the mind that there are people out there that clueless about bodies...both their own and their spouses!

I know Rubertbear. But in D's case she WAS only 12 and this would have been back in the late 40's early 50's. Both their parents were really strict and "religous". She said the only reason they waited so long was because her 15yr old husband still wet the bed and she refused to let him sleep in the same bed until he figured out how to be a big boy. *L*

Oh wow, Serate...I'm not 'religion' bashing but sometimes it seems to me it does MORE harm than good! :-(

I totally agree Rupertbear.
