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.

if the government was paying for other people to have sex.
Isn't that basically every welfare benefit for little kids?
I mean sure, its not the kids fault and spending money on the kids trying to fix them is both the right thing to do and cheaper than fixing them when they're older, but fundamentally you're having the government coordinate one demographic group paying another demographic group to fuck and have the kids the first group can't afford because of high taxes. Which works pretty well until the first group is wiped out or refuses to pay. Then things get tense.
