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.

Is there any conceivable (hmm, punny) medical problem for which the only treatment is sex? I have a hard time imagining such a thing that couldn't just be solved by jerking off even if you did find one.
Depression? Physocological issues? Pathological shyness? self esteem issues? Anything that a jolt of endorphin's would help with?
I am struggling too, but I guess giving people sex is better than popping them full of brain altering pill (and probably cheaper overall)
