It was three years since Sophie and Bob's wedding day. They had been going out for 4 years prior to that so they knew each other very well before they committed to married life. They were both very committed to their careers and they earnt a lot between them so they had decided to put thoughts of a family on hold until they were married. Sophie had experienced only 2 men before sleeping with Bob and sex was, to be honest, not a major part of their lives. They were dedicated to their careers and to their life together. They had both been so happy on their wedding day, they genuinely loved each other and were not interested in socialising or partying. They lived a quiet life and both were entirely satisfied by that.
The one nagging issue for both of them was that they had left it until they were 30 to get married and now, both in their 30s, they were getting a bit anxious that having a baby was not proving easy. Sophie suggested to her husband one day that they should both get tested to ensure there wasn't a physical problem. Bob readily agreed as they had no secrets between themselves and they were very sensible about the fact that if there was an issue, they would deal with it.
The results came back. They celebrated the news that both could have children with a quiet meal and a decision that it would just happen if they relaxed and let it happen. They did not approve of having sex at regimented times, a child should be the result of the natural love between them and so if there was no physical impediment they just needed to be patient.
Patience didn't work. Sophie went a specialist clinic one day and without any hope of solutions she thought she would ask the woman running the clinic for advice given that they were struggling to conceive despite a number of years of trying. Sophie confirmed that they were both able to have children so she just didn't understand why they were failing. Sophie got a bit upset as she explained that all of her close friends now had young families and she questioned why they were different.
The lady, called Mandy, smiled warmly and said there were various options and that she was surprised Sophie was struggling to conceive given what a curvy young woman she was (which Sophie thought was an odd comment from a health professional) but that, first of all, it may be helpful to get more information.
She confirmed that there is a service which she had been running for a number of years which tests how fertile both men and women are. Whilst they knew they can have children, this test provides far more detail. The woman explained that for women there is a programme of tests and the tests provide a score for how fertile the woman is with a score of 100 being normal. There are many things a women can try to change this score so it can be useful to understand if it is worth trying things. Sophie was interested and excited at the prospect of finding answers, if a bit nervous.
"How about for men?" Sophie asked.
"Well the test is very sophisticated for men. I don't mean to be indelicate but it looks at everything. If you are not embarrassed I will read out the list of criteria it considers.
"That is fine. I will need to explain it all to my husband."
"Well first, he will need to understand that it requires him to perform..."
Yes of course, to provide a sample."
"More than that Sophie. There is no delicate was of saying this, the test requires the man to fuck a robotic pussy. It is designed to feel exactly like a real p..."
"Yes ok I get it," Sophie said quickly, a bit flustered and shocked by how candid this women was.
"Well Sophie, it is designed to record everything and cameras capture everything from every angle. The test has come up with a way of scoring how the average man performs and that provides a score of 100."
"But I thought it was just a matter of measuring the potency of a man's sperm."
"That is just one category, an important one, the most important, but let me read them in order of importance.
1.The potency of the spunk, I mean sperm Sophie"; Sophie looked startled but nodded quietly;
2."The quantity of sperm produced"; Sophie nodded, that sort of made sense;
3."The power of the cu... of the ejaculation"; again Sophie nodded;
4."The size of the cock"; Sophie wrinkled her nose at the language and questioned to herself how relevant that was;
5."The power of the thrust;
6.The stamina of the man, how long can he last as it provides the chance to build up sperm production;
7.can he make the woman cum more than once during a fuck as a fully stimulated woman is more receptive to potent seed;
8.The design shape of the cock, how it splits the pu..."
"OK, ok," said Sophie quickly.
9."How good the man's body looks, the computer scans it for everything women tend to find attractive and provides a score. Again it links to being able to satisfy a woman..."
"Well Bob is very fit and satisfies me," she said defensively;
10."Of course Sophie and finally the test scans for how handsome a man is for the same reason.
All of these factors put together provide a score and anything around 100 is normal. A score of less than 20 tends to mean the man is effectively totally useless, I mean impotent, but you know Bob isn't so that is good and you certainly have potential."
"Well I will discuss it with Bob and let you know," said Sophie hurriedly.
................................
They agreed to have the tests. What harm could it do? Bob's score was unremarkable. He scored 80 and was a bit tetchy about being below average but Sophie scored just 68 and she was upset. Her view was that it was obviously her fault as she had the lower score.
The advice was that Bob couldn't change his score significantly for the better but Sophie could. She changed her diet and exercised. She was pale but forced herself to tan a bit to improve her vitamin D levels.
Then everything started to change ... for Sophie. She went for another test 3 months later and the nurses complimented her on looking great, but the proof would be in the score. She was sitting next to Bob when they opened the result sheet. It was described as a remarkable change in such a short time. A score of 68 had become 321.
"I have become far better than a normal, average woman in just 3 months." She beamed with pride at Bob. "Now we have a great chance of having a baby."
"Better than normal?" asked Bob.
Sophie was so excited: "I know you always thought I was far better than average but...".
"Do you think I am worse than normal, less than the average man? The results say I am."
"Oh Bob, I didn't mean it like that, of course not," but she could see she had hurt him. "You will see, we will have a baby in no time. It was my problem and I have fixed it."
Bob was ok for the next month but when nothing happened he seemed to turn in on himself, especially when a second month went by with no luck.
The lady from the clinic phoned one day and spoke to Bob. "Hi Bob, great news. Sophie is really responding to the plan we recommended, her latest score is 473, far more ... receptive than the average woman." Bob was polite but all he saw was pressure. Still no pregnancy and if anything Bob's performance in bed was dropping off.
Sophie had to admit that she felt great but it meant nothing if her husband was sad. The sex wasn't great and she regretted starting this whole testing process. She kept it to herself that her latest score was now over 500.
Mandy, the woman who had encouraged her to start this process said to Sophie that she was as fertile and talented as any woman they have had in their clinic. The tests involved taking dildos up her and Mandy was trying larger and larger ones on Sophie. She didn't tell Sophie but 2 days later she had bumped into Bob right outside his work.
"Oh Bob, you must be thrilled with Sophie's score. It is the first time we have had a woman score over 500 in our clinic, she is a marvel with what she can ta ..." She stopped herself, " Well anyway, you must be so proud."
Bob didn't know what to say so Mandy filled the silence:
"No pressure but we are expecting great things Bob, even with a score of 80 you should get the job done now."
He didn't.
Six months later and the marriage was creaking. Sophie went for more tests, her body was so toned and curvy and her score was 712 by now, and she was so supportive but Bob was virtually impotent. The clinic insisted on testing him again. They didn't know why but the score was now 31. "That explains it," said Mandy as if this confirmed their star performer was as good as they thought and it was all Bob's fault. Whilst Sophie thought Mandy showed barely concealed contempt for her husband, she herself couldn't have been more supportive to her husband.
"We will get through this you know. We married each other because we love each other."

Sophie met her friend Jane for lunch. Jane was much younger than Sophie, married and sporting a proud bump. They had met at the gym recently. Sophie wasn't bitter, she was genuinely pleased for her new friend.
