Danish Nursing Homes Provide 'Call Girls' for Male Residents

The Danes have always been considered a progressive lot. In keeping with that mind set, Kildegaarden nursing home directorhas instructed her nursing staff to call in the prostitutes when their male residents exhibit behavior that suggests a need for such services.

When indecent sexual proposals are bestowed upon staff members and female residents, the staff knows that the situation calls for extraordinary measure. In such cases the professionals are just a phone call away.

Kildegaarden nursing home is located 100 miles west of Copenhagen in the town of Skanderborg. The facility provides health care services to 100 residents with conditions that include Alzheimer's and stroke. The staff has only arranged for call girl services three times in the past three years but they won't hesitate to arrange such services when the need arises.

The staff reports that the change in the male residents after they have received a visit from a paid prostitute is remarkable. According to Kildegaarden's director Kristensen, "Basically this is a matter of respecting the elderly and their needs."

The sex trade has been legal in Denmark since 1999. The country estimates that they have 6,000 working girls. The country appears to be divided on the issue of making prostitutes available to vulnerable adults. Copenhagen has banned their nursing homes from arranging call girl services.

Denmark officials are rethinking the entire sex trade issue. A women's group who call themselves Denmark's Society of Women, started a campaign in March called Take a Position, Man. They are urging men to sign up in protest against prostitution. At last count they had 1,887 signatures, according to Bloomberg.
