A disabled Danish man is fighting for the state to pay for him to have a prostitute visit him at home.
Torben Hansen, who has cerebral palsy, which severely affects his speech and mobility, believes his local authority should pay the extra charge he incurs when he hires a sex worker - because his disability means he cannot go to see them. His case is currently being considered.
In Denmark, local authorities compensate disabled people for extra costs incurred because of their disability.
"I want them to cover the extra expenses for the prostitutes to get here, because it's a lot more expensive getting them to come to my home rather than me going to a brothel," Mr Hansen told BBC World Service's Outlook programme.
"It's a necessity for me. I can't move very well, and it's impossible for me to go there."
'Unfair'
In Denmark, prostitution and other forms of sex work are not illegal so long as it is not a woman's sole means of income.
Mr Hansen started seeing a prostitute after attending a course at a social centre.
There, he and other disabled people were taught that if they had needs, they "could do something about it".

Hell, she wrote encyclopedic volumes on being difficult! But you know what I do when I'm the target of her being difficult? I simply remind her that she chose me.

It's easy. Send me a working email address through FReepmail. It can be any throwaway email account, I don't care. But I have to email an invitation to you from my GMail account. I have a few more to spare.

Are glasses covered by government health insurance?
"...the right to a sex life..."
Its sort of like the "right to happiness".
Just the pesky "pursue" clause.
The world is clearly going mad. Stark raving mad.
* snicker, snicker *
I'll see your snicker and raise you an LOL.
Now, seriesly, why don't the Danes have volunteer prostitutes? Some who just does it to feel good, in totally heartfelt way, of course.
For illegals? ;-)
For himself from an illegal; work no American is willing to do? ;)
LMAO.
Yeah - most of the hookers I know also have high paying IT jobs - yeah...right...sure.
