A frustrated German man is taking social workers to court because they won’t pay for him to visit a brothel.
The welfare state ain’t what it used to be.
Helmut H, 43, from Obererlbach says he has been sexually deprived ever since his wife left him. Nitaya, 28, flew back home to her native Thailand to give birth to the couple’s son but never returned. "I get £150 social security each month, I can’t afford the plane ticket," he told Bild daily. He says he’s suffering "sexual withdrawal" and has been forced to visit a brothel instead. Initially, he asked the authorities to refund him the price of an inflatable doll he’d bought - but without success.
Not this one, surely
He then sent them a bill for 16 brothel visits, 32 porn movies, a magazine and costs for driving to the video store - a total of £1,650. When authorities wrote back saying his request had been turned down, he took his case to the administration court in Ansbach. Social welfare spokesman Manfred Walter, 55, says he expects the court "will turn down the claim".
