A dr. I know while training was told that for fertility places, checking
that sex is being performed "right" is one of the first things. Tummy button
sex is surprisingly common as a fertility problem!
Another story was the other way:
A couple came into get contraceptives, didn't seem to speak much English,
but eventually chose condoms. The nurse helpfully showed them how to roll it
on, by rolling it onto her finger. The couple nodded and took the free
condoms and left. About 9 months later the couple appeared-lady obviously
pregnant. "congratulations" said the nurse, but the man shook his head
slightly and said "no work". In the resultant conversation that followed it
emerged that the man had carefully put the condom on... his finger.

It doesn't totally surprise me, particularly if someone was raised in
a very conservative religious community of any kind where the facts of
life are not talked about at all.

My grandmother and my grandfather snuck off and got married one
afternoon, and she went home to her house and he went off to his and
they didn't tell anyone. During the few weeks before their little
secret got out, she was afraid to SEE him since she thought she'd get
pregnant just from being in his presence once they were married.

Then speed ahead a few months, when they had figured out sex - grandma
is hugely pregnant with her first child, and didn't know how it was
going to get out. She had no clue - she thought maybe your stomach
split. She was too embarrassed to ask her own mother (who had 10 kids,
all born at home, but obviously NOT in front of the kids - grandma was
the oldest but didn't know anything about childbirth). She had to go
to her mother in law (who was a sympathetic type) to find out. Honest
to goodness, all true.

I get tired of the jokes about my tubal. Things like, "Oh, so you
found out what causes babies, eh?" But, ohmigod! LOL! I can't
believe they didn't know that you had to have sex to get kids. LOL!

Alas, it's probably an urban legend:
