Danes provide prostitutes for the disabled

san antonio man · 20-09-2005, 13:53

The Danish government is under attack for paying for its disabled citizens to have sex with prostitutes.

The official 'Sex, irrespective of disability' campaign pays sex workers to provide sex once a month for disabled people.

The legal guidelines advise: "It could be of great importance that the carer speaks to the prostitute together with the person in their care, to help them express their wishes."

But opposition parties have attacked the regulations, claiming it is an immoral way of spending tax-payers' money.

Social-Democrat spokesperson Kristen Brosboel said: "We spend a large proportion of our taxes rescuing women from prostitution. But at the same time we officially encourage carers to help contact with prostitutes."

But Stig Langvad of the country's Disabled Association said the politicians critical of the plan are showing "double standards".

He said: "The disabled must have the same possibilities as other people. Politicians can debate whether prostitution should be allowed in general, instead of preventing only the disabled from having access to it."

But being ugly or shy would be a disability for having sex. Do those people get paid for sex once a month? Very much doubt it.

Well, it beats the Winter bonus our pensioners receive, and I'm sure it's better appreciated than the parking permit the disabled receive in the UK! It doesn't actually say why the government are doing it though? Is it supposed to be therapeutic, or did it result from a request from the disabled people?

This is what you get if people don't think things through thoroughly.

Not really - those ugly people must have parents, presumably, who'd have to be fairly ugly too.

In other words, the existence of ugly children implies the copulation of ugly parents. Possibly the same happens with shyness.

Actually, I think the only problem with it is that the Government is only going to pay for the prostitute equivalent of NHS glasses. Not a pleasant thought.

So will that be a reduced amount of sex for government paid clients & more/better sex for the paying punters?

Like we get ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30 glasses on the NHS or better ones if we pay for them

After having worked with disabled people for the last 10 years I can pretty much say they do not need to have sex with prostitutes. They can pretty much find it through regular ways, like making friends, fancying them and then getting them drunk and making a move

.

I agree that it is exploitive of women in the sex industry!

So a new form of "medical tourism" where instead of people going abroad to get their treatment without waiting for the NHS...?!

This already happens in the UK doesn't it? I believe many men go to prostitutes when they have a "limp"...
