“Intellectually disabled men are being taken on organised trips to Hobart brothels by health workers. Under official guidelines, Department of Health and Human Services workers have official permission to arrange visits to sex workers for their clients… According to the guidelines, staff members who provide physical assistance to enable people with disabilities to access the services of a sex worker would not, by doing so, breach any law in Tasmania… The proprietor of Hobart brothel Models High Class Action said a number of Government intellectually disabled clients were valued regulars at her Glenorchy establishment. ‘It’s a very positive step for them, from the feedback I get from persons involved,’ she said. Clients included the profoundly disabled and people with acquired brain injuries. ‘There’s a particular person who has improved dramatically since they started coming here. They are happier and communicating better,’ she said. Models High Class Action’s proprietor said she carefully matched intellectually disabled clients with the most appropriate worker. ‘Some of our staff would feel uncomfortable in that situation but there’s quite a few people who feel very comfortable,’ she said. Visits to the brothel were not necessarily about sexual gratification. ‘A lot of it is the contact thing, human touch, female company,’ she said.” —News.com.au (Australia)

There are other liberal countries where people with disabilities are officially allowed to visit sex workers. The unique thing about the situation in Tasmania is that it allows for people struggling not just with physical but also mental disabilities. Yes, that’s right. There are social workers in Tasmania whose job is to take the retards whoring.

However, before you men inflict a brain injury on yourselves and rush off to Tasmania, you should be aware that clients pay for their own encounters. The government currently sanctions but does not sponsor these visits. Apparently the government is considering paying for them, though, and in that case you might then have to make a difficult choice. Which is better — a functioning brain? Or free hookers? (Some may retort that, if you choose the latter, you might not have much of a functioning brain anyway.)
