The friend, a sex worker herself, told Connie: "That's not a boyfriend, that's sex work. He only comes to have sex with you, bring you food, and pay the rent." Connie tells DW she had tried working in retail, hospitality, and in a call center, but it was never enough to cover her bills. She believed working as a sex worker full-time would mean that she was no longer dependent on her boyfriend; it promised greater financial security and autonomy.
