A decade later, I realise I was trapped on the "sex escalator", our assumption that seduction works to a strict timeline. This is what I call the "sex escalator", the unspoken rules one follows when pursuing sex. "The relationship escalator is a well-established concept, and the sex escalator is a subset of that," she says. This month, I spoke to Melbourne singles about the sex escalator, as part of an ethical dating workshop. When everyone steps off the escalator, the dating world will be a much safer place.
