Can someone explain to me what makes people need to publicly express their sexual urges? Like, what do you get from this comment? It's not like it's going to get you laid. The only effect it has is making people who have no interest in knowing about your turgidity know about your turgidity.

I don't think I've ever said something like this as a thinly veiled form of screaming "I AM HORNY, SOMEONE DO ME". If that's what I'm feeling and want someone to know, I might go with something like "dude I need a wingman tonight" which essentially reveals the same information.

I make sex related jokes, engage in wordplay, and puns, because it's funny.

And yes, you can include that stuff in the process of courtship, but if sex is the goal, sooner or later you're gonna have to make your intentions clear and ask. But no part of sex-humor requires the people making the joke or laughing at it, be horny.

Beyond that... People just like telling other people how they feel? We broadcast literally every emotion we experience, how repressed do you have to be to consider doing the same with arousal to be in bad taste?

OP's comment is also part of the systematic objectification of women - especially considering the post isn't remotely porn - so there's also that.

This isn't funny. It's weird and creepy and makes people the object of a bad joke who shouldn't have to deal with that.

We broadcast literally every emotion we experience, ...

We do not. Not all the time, not in every situation.

Hey, I say I want to fuck Henry Cavil and I’m a guy. I’d drop to my knees so fast for him. I’m an equal objectifier.

Yeah, same with Ryan Reynolds.
