Is marriage the pinnacle of success—or just more unpaid labor dressed up in paperwork? In this final Sex Work VS miniseries episode, I get personal about my own marriages and question what we’re really chasing when we romanticize commitment. Sex work gave me the distance to see it differently: the self-absorbed oxytocin highs, the cultural expectations, and the silent costs of being a “good partner.” If you’ve ever second-guessed the path laid out for you, this one’s for you.
