Once a month male patients from a Dutch psychiatric hospital pile into a minibus and head for the Club d'Amour in Maastricht's red-light district for half an hour of cut-price sex with prostitutes. The visits are arranged by Cecile aan de Stegge, chairwoman of the Netherlands Association of Psychiatric Nursing, for patients of the Vijverdal psychiatric hospital, near Maastricht. She's concerned that the sexual rights of patients are being neglected. "Some patients wanted sex and were going to brothels and being badly treated. "I felt that if patients were going to have sex and they wanted to see a prostitute, then this need should be respected and they should do it in a clean and safe place.'' The price of the sex sessions have been reduced for the patients from $63 to $38 by club owner Madam Nathalie. "The prices are subsidized by the club,'' she said, "But it doesn't matter. I worked as a psychiatric nurse for 12 years, and I know these men have sexual feelings that need to be expressed.'' A hospital nurse waits in the club's reception room while the men visit the prostitutes selected by Madam Nathalie. "Not every girl is suitable for this task,'' she said. "It is mainly a question of feelings, patience and sympathy. With my nursing background the patients are in safe hands. " I told one patient, 'You can have as many orgasms as you like in half an hour.' The man didn't believe his ears and shot upstairs to the girls.''
