You may remember Asta Philpot. Born with a physical disability called arthrogryposis, he became something of a folk hero in England (with help from a 2007 BBC documentary) by advocating for the sexual rights of people with disabilities—even if it means paying for sex.

Philpot appeared in an ad last year for Come4.org, a porn site devoted to charity, which sponsors the Asta Philpot Foundation.
