PORN WELFARE CLAIM LOST
A lonely husband in Germany who claims he is starved of sex because his wife lives in Thailand, has lost his bid to have local authorities pay for his pornography and brothel visits.
Citing his "considerable sexual needs," the 35-year-old man took his local authority to court claiming that it ought to compensate him for his lack of sex.
He wanted the social welfare office to fund his four visits a month to a brothel, including transport, as well as for eight pornographic movies and two monthly contact magazines.
"I require the brothel visits for my physical and psychological wellbeing," the unemployed man said in his application.
But an administrative court in Ansbach, southwest Germany, turned him down on the grounds that any such activities should be paid out of what he already receives in benefit.
The unidentified man claims German officials are keeping him apart from his wife, with whom he has a son, by refusing to pay her airfare
