to the Severely Disabled.
[quote]Taiwan—officially known as the Republic of China—has one of the best health systems in the world; its million or so disabled citizens receive some of the most thorough medical attention you'll find, including everything from long-term care to traditional herbal medicine. What they don't receive from this system, however, is any kind of aid when it comes to slightly more intimate issues, namely: orgasms.
It was for this reason that a group of social campaigners and volunteers took it upon themselves to create Hand Angel, an NGO whose main service is giving handjobs to the severely disabled. Members say that their work raises awareness of the fact that disabled people are often depicted as desexualized—as well as having their sexuality constantly neglected—despite the fact they share exactly the same desires as anybody else.[/quote]
[quote]In order to decide who's entitled to use their services, Hand Angel first assess an applicant's level of disability. The person has to be recognized by the government as having a serious physical impairment, but can't be mentally disabled. Once they're cleared, the service is totally free, but each applicant can only receive three bouts of sexual stimulation.[/quote]
That's awfully nice of them, wouldn't you say?

Kids have to get their community service hours in for college somehow!

I volunteer as tribute!

That sounds like a hard day of work. They don't even get paid for manual labor. Well at least the job doesn't suck.

Edited by Recon Number 54: 2/6/2015 8:26:04 PMOne question for anyone who is familiar with Taiwan, [quote]Is the traditional greeting gesture a bow or a handshake?[/quote] If it's the latter, these folks are going to get some awkward refusals to shake hands when meeting people. Other things that I am unclear of even after reading the article. It didn't specify whether or not those who "deliver this special service" need to meet any specific criteria. Though it did mention;[quote]the group of 10 people actually giving the handjobs—come from varied backgrounds; some are gay, some are straight, some are disabled, some are PhD students, some are social campaigners and some work in the media.[/quote] The image in the article (above) shows 3 male "Hand Angels" assisting a client into/out of his wheelchair. Are the volunteers for this additional task going to be of a specific sex or would that be discriminatory? Does the client get to request a specific person, or not? Also, what about disabled female clients?

Cam, does this mean you're offering? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That sounds like a very [b]hand[/b]y way to help people, what a [b]job[/b] to work at.
-
Hey cam, I think I'm disabled, can you give me a hand?

So what you are saying is that they get... (¤_¤) (¤_¤)>~■-■ (■-■) Touched by an Angel...

So it's a good thing they want to [i]jerk[/i] the disabled around? Pardon me, but this sounds like a [i]load.[/i] Either they have really lost their minds or Taiwan is a country of [i]master baiters.[/i] Still, I am curious to see what [i]cums[/i] of this.

Goodness Benedict! Get my wheelchair were off to thaiwan!

Don't forget how good it will look on your resume! Now I have something new to search for on LinkedIN.
