Surprising! Interested in statistical evidence and the character of the mates involved.

The idea that sex workers can't find husbands is so weird to me... I've run deep in sex worker circles for coming up on a decade and it's never been an issue. Most of the girls in the chats have long term boyfriends, a big chunk of them are married. 1/

I'll keep an eye out. Some naive evo. speculation: men are perhaps especially expected not to want to share mates, but are also less choosy / more likely to "settle". Shouldn't be too surprising the minority of sex workers find the minority who are okay with it.

What *would* be surprising would be if a majority of men would be fine with it, or if it was actually something they looked for in a mate / liked especially about their mate. My guess is they got used to it and settled on that aspect because they loved all else.
