A town in Denmark has agreed to have as much sex as possible to tackle a dwindling birth rate.

A town in Denmark is encouraging residents to have as much sex as possible, in order to curb a dwindling birth rate.

The residents of Thisted, which has a population of 13,000, have agreed to engage in amorous exploits so that new-borns can grow up to use the town’s schools and shops, which are seriously underused at present.

The town currently has the lowest birth rate in Denmark, at 1.6 babies per family, and it is hoped that the new measure will help the survival of schools and childcare centres.

Thisted also has a reputation for being a sleepy backwater, with police having previously discovered a man living in the forest who had survived on eggs for three years.

It is not the first time that Danes have been encouraged to have more sex to tackle decreasing birth rates. Last year, a ‘Do it for Denmark’ advertising campaign encouraged residents of the Scandinavian country to get lucky while holidaying. ...MetroUK
