BERLIN (Reuters) - A German court rejected a legal bid
on Friday by an unemployed man who wanted the state to
provide him with free pornography and trips to
brothels because his wife is in Thailand.
The court in the southern town of Ansbach ruled that
social services did not extend to satisfying the
43-year-old's sexual needs after he attempted to sue
his local welfare office because it had refused to
finance his appetite for prostitutes and porn.
"He wanted them to pay for four trips to the brothel a
month, eight porn films a month, plus condoms," said
court spokesman Peter Burgdorf. "He also wanted some
sort of appliance for self-gratification to use when
watching porn."
The man had earlier asked the Foreign Ministry to fly
his wife back from her native Thailand, to which she
had returned in 2002, saying that he could not afford
the ticket.
"He said he needed the services to keep himself fit
and healthy because his wife wasn't available," said
Burgdorf. "Now he's planning to contest the decision
in the court of appeal."
