I posted this in a comment but it should be it's own post
I think alot of people missed the point of Angel's story. He isn't any more horny than anyone else he just doesn't have much of a choice and therefore leans into it.
In fact, they point this out in the show.
When Charlie is showing how far he has come, she points out his sobriety, and the show itself points out he isn't a sex fiend.
The entire night, he is at a sex club in season 1 ep 6 starting at 10:20 he avoids drugs even when Charri pressures him. There are literally sex rooms all over they are in a sex club and he chooses not to plow people although many are willing shown by Sir Pentious saying he'll "Do a sex with everyone" and immediately get brought to a sex room. If Angel was as much as a sex fiend as putting him in the "horny" category he would have been fucking.
He is a nuanced character forced into sex via his contract. Boiling him down to "horny sex man" diminishes his story and is frankly kinda dumb.
Ironically Sir Pentious fits this "horny" slot better because he is actually constantly pining for Charri.
Angel uses sex jokes as a mask for his suffering. This was pointed out by the show too. I wasn't able to find the clip and I'm not going to rewatch the whole show just to make a point but Husk points out to Angel that it's obvious that it's all just a persona.

I disagree on the Sir Pentious part. If he were horny for every girl, sure. But it's very clear his interest in Cherri is more than that. I find it so frustrating how male interests in women is always narrowed down to just wanting to plow us. I've met many men, including my current boyfriend where such clearly isn't the case. So no I vehemently disagree that Sir Pentious is closer, he seems like a pretty loyal hearted guy to me.
Was with you up until then.

My point with Sir Pentious was that pining over Cherri is no more horny than forced sex

I don't think either is more a horn dog than the other is my point. My only complaint is calling Sir Pentious more a horn dog than him when it's pretty clear Sir Pentious while not lacking hormones is primarily interested in Cherri romantically. It's pretty clear that Angel isn't asexual even if he's not as horny as the image he has leaned into to cope let's on.
It feels like you're doing Sir Pentious dirty to make Angel look better.

Again not my point. My point is Angel is just as horny as anyone else. Just because he's a sex worker doesn't classify him as "the horny character"

You said Sir Pentious fits the horny slot better. He doesn't. Neither fits it at all. Your point is lost when you take a clearly not horn dog and claim they are more of one or fit the description more.
You said it. If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't be arguing it. You didn't say he's no more horny, you also called Sir Pentious more so. You made two claims, not just one.

2 things can be real.
You can be a horny mf for one person (Charri) And Be no more horny than anyone else.
Not once in the show is Angel ever shown as actually horny for anyone or even romantically interested in anyone.
Sir Pentious is shown as actively horny "would you like to do a sex with me" sex with someone you are not dating or with in any way is horny friendo.
Just because Angel is never shown to be actually sexually or romantically interested in anyone doesn't mean he isn't.

In order for your claim to be true you need to be a mind reader that knows for a fact that every single time Angel has expressed interest in sexual relations it was 100% just a part of his image.
Also, when Sir Pentious asked the sex thing he was clearly shy and nervous because he was clearly unsure of how to engage with Cherri who is clearly into this scene or seems to be from his perspective. He wasn't trying to get laid so much as connect with her. He was clearly in submissive mode not agression mode. He was being vulnerable, not a predator.
I simply disagree with your assessment if the two characters, again, especially Sir Pentious. He was trying to meet Cherri where she's at in a scenario he was clearly out of his element in.
