Then Julia meets Tony, who is brash and vulgar, exactly the kind of man she despises. Yet his aggressive maleness excites her. One day he corners her in a store-room, and she cannot resist his advances. He awakens her sexually. But he is not her type, and Julia realizes she needs regular sexual fulfillment. She tries again with her husband but it's obviously no good for either of them.

Out shopping one day, Julia sees a sexy man looking at her. He picks her up, assumes she is a prostitute and asks her price. Thrilled by this idea, Julia agrees to a price. He takes her to a hotel used by prostitutes. When they are done the pimp who runs the hotel stops her from leaving and takes all the money she has made as a punishment for working his street without permission. Julia finds she is addicted to sex work and starts working for him weekends. This gives her the fulfillment she has been seeking and working toward over the course of her sexual adventures.
