    For those interested in the topic of sex surrogates, I recommend the movie "The sessions" (2012, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1866249/)

    This article mentioned that as well. I mean a basic drive for humans is sex - but walking, not so much. The movie "The Sessions" talks about the importance of sexual function for a immobilized man and is well worth watching.
