Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I've only rarely heard it used as a shorthand for "I/we/you can't get laid". I've always interpreted it to mean the first thing. OP isn't wrong about the second though, honestly. It is a skill issue.
Only if youre ableist.
Right, it's very early and I rarely (if ever) have a sexual appetite, so Imma need clarification: how is getting laid not a skill issue? It is my understanding that if people want it enough, they find ways to change themselves or their circumstances to make it happen.
Just like how if people want to be billionaires enough, they find ways to change themselves or their circumstances to make it happen. People only have partial control over who they are and the circumstances they're in, and the changes they're able to make don't always make a difference here.
