✅ August 2025 | Psyche, Sex, & Society — Our Most Controversial Issue Yet. Clutch Your Pearls Now.

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

The August 2025 issue of Psyche, Sex, & Society just dropped—and it’s a doozy. If you must clutch your pearls, hold them tight, because we are diving into an unflinching conversation.

This month, we explore:

  • Sex work, industry, and economy—how markets shape desire and survival.
  • The legacies of madams who built sophisticated sex work agencies and redefined business leadership.
  • The contested terrain of sex work regulation, revealing how policies mirror society’s deepest anxieties about women’s autonomy, sexuality, and economic power.

But the conversation doesn’t end there. This issue underscores how gender inequality and sexual labor intertwine—showing that even women outside the sex industry often perform unrecognized, uncompensated sexual labor in relationships and social negotiations.

🔥 This is not a conversation you want to miss.

👉 Read the August issue now and join us in unpacking the truths society keeps in the shadows.
