Yes sex is absolutely a need for me too.Again, doesn’t give me any right to take or expect it from someone else. But it is a need not a want. I get antsy, pent up, tetchy, almost uncomfortable in my own skin without it. Masturbation does not compare to the feeling afterward you’ve had a great fuck, like someone’s just released the pressure valve
Feeling tetchy and unsatisfied doesn't make something a need. For goodness sakes.
And it doesn't just come down to prostitution. If you don't have enough food, or adequate shelter, you will be severely impacted. And while you'd not be morally justified in taking those things from with with violence, I would probably be considered, quite rightly, a moral reprobate for not sharing what I had with you, closing the front door to leave you out in the storm. We probably even justify a certain amount of redistribution through taxes etc to provide for people who don't have access to these needs. Social and political revolutions have hinged on groups of people not having access to needs and it's often not easy to tell who the good and bad guys are, because we know those needs are very real, and we know hoarding is immoral.
It does violence to language to start calling sex, especially on an individual basis, a need. It's not. You can get over it, you can live with being techy if you have to, but generally people can get over that as well, especially if they don't tell themselves it's a need.
Not only can you not be justified in "stealing" sex non-consensually, people have no moral requirement to provide it to you out of kindness either, even if it really wouldn't harm them in any way. We don't (here) and IMO should not talk about ways to provide sex through tax dollars or charity.
This vague idea that sex is a need in some unclear but seemingly mental health related way underlies a lot of the toxic thinking about sex, pornography, etc.
