Michelle was about to interview the author of an unpublished book — until she actually read it. In this solo episode, she unpacks why she canceled, taking on the "prioritize sex twice a week no matter what" model of marriage, the quiet harm of duty sex, and what gets lost when desire becomes an obligation. Along the way: her own asexuality and responsive desire, a critique of medicalizing low libido, a Wheel of Consent plug, and one very spicy "We're Not Really Strangers" cards story.
