legalize prostition then. this is the loneliest time to be a human being. And despite what you just said, no one actually cares. So at least give us the option to pay someone to care.
I don’t agree with that characterization.
Yes, therapy is also good.
But human physical contact is its own thing.
I think it’s not unfair to characterize it as a soft need. — You won’t die from its lack — but you may suffer in a deep way.
Yes, many of us get that physical contact from friends and “fuck buddies”. But there are people who don’t and - for myriad reasons - won’t for long stretches of time.
I actually do think having ways for people to get physical social contact (and yes, particularly sexual) is valuable and meaningful to society.
[And no; I’m not lonely or physically alienated — but I’m very fortunate in my situation. It’s not fair to force people who can’t navigate sexual relationships to be denied human touch.]
