Yeah exactly what the actual fuck

It's not that, it's just creating this scenario where, I dunno how to express it in English, it's just not sitting well with me as a person with a physical disability.
Does it imply I'm less worthy or something? I dunno.
Do disabled people have less sex in general? Yes, but that's because of people's fucked up attitudes towards disabled people. Solving that should be the focus, not whatever else people are implying.

I am short and fat. I can completely understand how demoralizing that is. Don't make it weird.

I am saying one is worse. People got it worse than me for sure. as you said, it is of a kind to be understandable by most people with a bit of empathy.
Howerver sexuality is close to enough to a basic human need that even after falgsac there will be a need for sexual surrogacy. Someone smarter than man can figure out the math between deviants, prestige, and patients but their will have to be something. I've worked in a strip clubs and the state of the guys going to them is useually pityable. Lots of clubs provide some form of thereputic service for otherwise able bodied and nominally well adjusted people. After the revolution and people are less alienated from themselves and others i am sure things will improve. This is however going to be a dimension of societal care to be managed same as anything else.

Yeah, I can't really verbalize it, but we are all kinda messed up about the subject i think.
Plus, I think ace folk are a lot more common than we realize so that both fuzzes the math and people's perceptions of stuff.

Implying otherwise normal people occasionally needing sexual surrogacy services dehumanizes them?
Porn is very much part of the spectrum of sexual surrogacy and part of the spectrum of sex work. However it is probably not sufficient on a societal level. I am not trying to die on this hill but even our primate cousins enguage in forms of sex work. I dunno what, but there is probably some useful bit of information in this process. Our society lacks the tools to determine the correct ammount but that ammout has to some rational number.
