Some will find this disgusting. Some will find the sense of humor endearing. Every guy I went to HS/college with made these kinds of jokes with each other all the time. If a guy winked as he walked by the all-male wrestling team, it would be a miracle if this joke wasn't made.

After the dictator "winked" at his press secretary, Trump is said to have joked: “Well, Sarah, that settles it. You’re going to North Korea and taking one for the team! Your husband and kids will miss you, but you’ll be a hero to your country!” trib.al/zag20o2

Oh brother, it is ok because you did it at college? I've followed you for almost a decade, your sliding down like this really hurts. You are rich, famous, smart and admired, all you need now is to be classy. Please!

I never said it was ok. Up to the lady if it was ok or not. We can only speculate. I’m just saying that friends (and friendly coworkers with a great relationship) make these jokes all the time and nobody is offended by it.

Just for the record - did anyone anytime joke about you this way, to go to bed with a hideous woman (or man) and take it for the team?

Yes, all the time. The wingman at the club taking one for the team is a running joke in the USA.
