A mother cried tears of joy after her quadriplegic son was taken to a brothel after not feeling the touch of a woman for 12 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gail and her son Jake visited Le Penthouse Suites at Tweed Heads, in NSW, while filming a video with famous fisherman Willem Powerfish.<\/p>\n
The topic of Jake’s sex life had come up in conversation when the group were out on a fishing trip moments earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I asked Jake’s mum about his girlfriends and she told me he hadn’t been with anyone since his accident,’ Powerfish explained.<\/p>\n
‘So I brought it up with his mum to take him to the brothel.’<\/p>\n
Jake’s life drastically changed after he was involved in a horrific crash with the young man confined to a wheelchair and only able to control his mouth and thumbs.<\/p>\n
The trio, along with Jake’s carer and best mate, were on Jake’s first fishing trip in 12 years when his mother made the heartbreaking admission about his love life.<\/p>\n

Powerfish decided to cut the fishing trip short and instead offered to take Jake to a nearby brothel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘You can decide if you like the woman or not, if you don’t like it you don’t have to do it but I’m very happy to shout you a session,’ he told Jake.<\/p>\n
Footage shows Jake going into the brothel while his mum commented on how ‘happy’ he looked and thanked Powerfish.<\/p>\n
Gail later teared up when she recalled what the woman said after Jake’s session.<\/p>\n
‘She said she did a few things and then it was very erect so she got on top and he did the whole thing,’ she said.<\/p>\n
‘Thank you [Powerfish], so much.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Le Penthouse Suites bills itself as the most ‘premium brothel on the Gold Coast’ that offers ‘the most luxurious and erotic sexual experiences’.<\/p>\n
The venue includes a ‘punishment room’ and ‘The Manhattan Club Strip Club’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Powerfish later explained his conversation with Gail about taking Jake to a brothel where she’d admitted they’d never discussed it.<\/p>\n
‘I asked Gail, you know, have you taken him to one of those places and she said no,’ he said.<\/p>\n
‘She’d never actually brought it up with him in 12 years.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jake’s mother, Gail (above), said she’d previously wanted to take him to a brothel but ‘didn’t know how to broach the subject’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After visiting the brothel, Gail said, ‘I hope it gets through to some people that even though we have brain injuries or impairments, we still have needs’ (pictured, Jake)<\/p>\n
Gail said she’d previously wanted to talk with Jake about going to a brothel but ‘didn’t know how to broach the subject’.<\/p>\n
‘I hope it gets through to some people that even though we have brain injuries or impairments, we still have needs,’ she said.<\/p>\n
Jake’s friend, Kyle, recalled how the tragic car crash unfolded.<\/p>\n
‘The night Jake got hurt he range me about 2.30am and said, “I’m coming over”,’ he said.<\/p>\n
‘It was New Year’s, 2012, and I said, “No, we’re already in bed and you shouldn’t be driving”.<\/p>\n
‘I think an hour or two later someone found him on the side of the road, [he’d] hit a power pole.<\/p>\n
‘I try to tell everyone he’s still the same bloke, he might be able to run around and do the same sh** we do but he can still laugh at it, you know?’<\/p>\n

Before his internet fame, Powerfish worked in disability care and saw firsthand how families often struggle to broach the topic of sexuality.<\/p>\n
‘I used to work in disability support and one of our patients had cerebral palsy and we used to take him to the brothel,’ he said.<\/p>\n
‘I’m hoping people who see this and do have family members with impairments of any sort… We’re all human and we all have needs.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
