“A young wife in southern China has been awarded $1300 for the downward spiral her sex life took after her electrician husband lost both his legs in an accident… The woman sued her 32-year-old husband’s employers after he fell from a telegraph pole… The accident left him unable to have sex and the woman, from Guangzhou, sued the company over the loss of her right to have sex.” — Independent Online (South Africa)

It’s impressive to see that any court would acknowledge a woman’s loss of sexual pleasure as an actionable right, although it may well be that the court was less concerned to endorse ecstasy than to uphold the sanctity of marriage — else they might have just told her to go take a lover. On the other hand, that’s a paltry amount of money to offer someone in compensation for a life of celibacy and/or self-abuse. Is that all pleasure amounts to — a thousand dollars or so?

Maybe the judges only awarded her that much because they felt her claim was spurious. You can imagine them in the back room, laughing and contemplating alternative settlements — such as providing the complainant with a lifetime supply of dildos, or sending the husband for cunnilingus lessons. After all, you don’t necessarily need legs or even a penis to pleasure a woman.
