I am non-monogamous by choice, not just by de facto circumstance because of the fact that I am an escort. I live with one of my serious partners, and have a few other partners and sexy friends. I’ve never been suited to monogamy, and sex work has always played a role in that for me.… Continue reading Jealousy Is Not An Excuse: Monogamous Norms and Partner Violence Against Sex Workers
