A viral video circulating on social media generated intense debate after a woman portrayed marriage as a type of “sex work,” eliciting fierce condemnation and mixed reactions from many internet users.
In the video, which has been widely shared on X (previously Twitter), the woman noted that marriage frequently entails a swap of roles between partners, especially when financial support and home chores are involved.
While speaking in the clip, the woman said: “And this going to be very controversial to say marriage also is a sex work because a lot of women what they’re doing is women engage in marriage from a place where he’s going to, ideally, he’s going to take care of you financially and there’s a home for you both to live in.”
She went on to explain that in many relationships, women take on certain home chores.
“What you are doing is you’re fulfilling a role. So you’re going to either be some sort of like homemaker home keeper.”
According to her, these obligations can include raising children, managing the home, and providing for the family.
“You’re raising and rearing the kids. You are parenting with him and sleeping with him in the hope that the trade off will be that you get validation, love and upkeep.”
She emphasised that the arrangement will continue to function as long as both parties perform their respective tasks.
“And the man understands and believes that if he continues to fulfil that role for you, then, the arrangement works, because marriage is an arrangement.”
The woman explained why she compared marriage to prostitution, pointing out that the deal may not always appear to be transactional.
“Why I said it’s prostitution is because whilst it’s not necessarily on the surface you’re fucking for a transactional exchange. There’s something that you’re fucking for.”
