Ananova:

A frustrated German housewife says she has been forced to take a job in a brothel since her husband lost his sex drive.

Adelheid Kran, 58, from Berlin said: "I like sex, I like it a lot, but my husband Guenther has no appetite for sex anymore and does it about once a year."

She added in order to combat the tension between them caused by her sexual frustration she has started working in a "mature ladies" brothel.

"I saw an ad in the paper looking for mature women and decided to try it. Guenther's not thrilled about it, but I can't hem myself in just because he's not up for it and we're actually getting on better now.

"It's not something I do full time, and I only have sex with the men I like. In a job like this, you have to keep a certain standard," she said.
