The couples solution for this small problem was not to buy new condoms that did fit, but to make the big ones fit. One way or another.

They used superglue to glue the condom to the man’s penis. This did not only solve the size-issue, but they could also re-use the condoms, so they thought.

After sex, the couple realised the condom was stuck and wouldn’t come off. After trying everything they could think off (and these people are resourceful as you may have noticed) Nicolae went to the local medical clinic for help.

One of the nurses said: “He even said that he thought the condom could be used several times and that he wanted it stuck on his penis so he could use it again later. We barely managed to remove it in the end.”

They visited a fertility clinic and the doctors ran some tests which indicated they shouldn’t have any trouble conceiving a child.

A spokesman for the clinic said: “When we asked them how often they had had sex, they looked blank, and said: “What do you mean?”

“We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate.”

The couple now knows about the birds and the bees, and with some luck they will have a child in about 9 months.
