I hardly think that needs to be argued. I can't think of a way a person could be a good sex partner without being a good friend.

You said 'partner,' someone who was having sex at the same time. Someone
could provide some kinds of good or not-good non-partnered sex without
being a good friend, I think, but as you were speaking of reproduction I
don't think this applies.

I believe that some women do this, even that is is common, but I can't believe it is any more or less pleasant for the people involved depending on one person's skills. Clearly in such a situation the parties would say what they wanted and satisfaction would depend on the level of cooperation and so forth. Therefore I can't imagine anyone would find a use for the findings of an independent panel or a way to serve on such a panel.
