The main goal of the article consists in describing the relationship level of women in private sex business. The research set consisted of 36 women working in private sex business in the South Bohemian Region and in Prague. The study made use of the technique of biographic-narrative interview. The acquired data were analysed in the Atlas.ti program and then links between individual categories and codes were searched with the help of the anchored theory method. The result shows that the relationship level, or the social network of the respondents, respectively, is very narrow. Financial support to the primary family, the partner or a friend is frequent. The financial support may be consequently reflected in whether the respective person does or does not tolerate the work in sex business.

Keywords: sex business, relationships, social network
