The obligation should be no stronger than the obligation to welcome a homeless person into your dwelling for a night's sleep, or to donate a large portion of one's savings+income to feed the starving - that is, nonexistent.

The typical person would not necessarily offer sex to all comers on a pro bono basis, but could fund professionals who choose such a line of work.

If it had been phrased as you put it, I don't think things would have blown up.

Correction: If it had been conceived as you put it, things wouldn't have blown up.

Glad to hear it. It's painful than seeing people try to blow up rationally :)
