BBC reports "German Greens float sex prescriptions for disabled":

A spokeswoman for the Green Party in Germany has said disabled and seriously ill people should be able to claim back public money if they pay for sex. They would have to prove a medical need and show that they could not pay to visit sex workers otherwise. Elisabeth Scharfenberg, an MP, told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper that she "could imagine" local authorities paying for "sexual assistance". Prostitution has been legal in Germany since 2002.

[...] In the Netherlands it is already possible to claim the cost of sexual services as a medical expense.

German source. Here's a related segment from Vice if you have 17m22s to spare (it's primarily about Sensual Solutions).

    I can conceive of a condition that could only be treated with hormones released by the opposite sex during sex.

    Ever thought "That politician/worker/boss really needs to get laid"?
    If so, I bet you didn't think masturbation would do.
