Cantcited This Principle as a Justification to Prohibit Masturbation

i like your interpretation of that principle. i have found confounding before, especially when it comes up in discussions of objectification. But if you're not thinking about that person's essential humanity at the same time as your buying a coffee or watching a strippd ants er, as long asyou on some level recognize and value that humanity, such that if there ever came to be some kind of trade off that needed to be made, you would like not ignore the person's humanity. That seems good, like, that seems like a good rule to follow.
