virginal birth - NOT

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

My dad, also a doctor, told me of a couple in Ireland about 50 years ago who came to him because of infertility. They were young, had been married for a year or so and were in trouble with the local Priest as she was not yet pregnant. Dad took a very good history from the couple. The reason for this always seemed to my modern mind to be from a different era, but then I met Joe and Mary (you might want to change their names.... Joe and Mary were 18 years old and I saw them in an outer suburb of Sydney. Joe and Mary didn't think they had a real problem, but they just couldn't consumate their marriage. Part of the reason for this was because they both thought Mary couldn't relax enough. Don't automatically blame the woman, you guys - he was trying through the belly button!!! I will never forget their reaction to me telling them the truth...

For a year there they were most definately a Darwin Award!

Maybe Toss: No Self-Selection
I just don't buy this story about them trying for a year this way without figuring out the "right" way on their own. This sounds more like a joke or urban legend to me, and it also doesn't really fit in with the self-selection rule: "The candidate must be the cause of his own demise." Let's see what the other moderators have to say about it.


Chip said:
Neutral: Urban Legend
I have to agree with Bruce as to the believability here but I will lean more towards Urban Legend but stay neutral as to whether or not to keep. Thanks, Davida


James said:
Definitely Toss: Urban Legend
This one borders on Urban Legend, and displays no elements of self-selection, so I will vote to toss!


Tracy said:
Definitely Toss: No Self-Selection
Urban Legend - I've heard many variations of this story
