Most people are generally ok with the idea of masturbation... which is basically simulated sex, no? Can't get what we want, so we fake it.
And as if hands, soft, warm flesh of our own within arm's reach, weren't good enough... there are toys.
Some of them in shapes that help the simulation, some soft and fleshy, some vibrate, some are even molds of real people. All to make a better simulation.

That said, isn't bestiality just better masturbation? After all, what's a better simulation than a fake, soft, fleshy latex organ, but a soft, fleshy, flesh organ? It's taking the simulation as far as it can go, as close as it can get to the real thing without.... quite.... getting there.

The guy went from there to apply the same argument to homosexuality, being gay himself. Don't know why.... but... yeah.
Yeah, you had me up to the bestiality point. Let's remember that animals are alive. What you do with your hand is one thing. What you do with another living breathing thing against its will is something else.
