One of the most impressive things DM has done in this game is reflect some of the realities of prostitution. Ask any prostitute if they experience orgasms with their customers and they'll laugh at you - unless you're their client at the time, in which case they'll fake one for more money.I assume that won't happen, otherwise it won't be the same game that DM has been making for the last few years. What makes FB unique is not just the interesting and exciting plot, but Monica herself, for what she is. I think DM understands this perfectly. Monica's personality and character are too strong to trade them in for an addiction to sex.
Contrary to what we see in porn, women don't magically become turned on and experience orgasms while having sex with men for whom they feel zero attraction. Its a different story at home with their partners, but sex at work with repulsive customers is about as much fun as a friend dragging you to their gym session for support, when you'd much rather stay home and play porn games.
As noted by agn25, Monica comes across as asexual to some degree, because she's never enjoyed sex and feels there are far more important things to take up her valuable time. That gives her an advantage over other women forced into prostitution, because the only emotional trauma she has to deal with is disgust from letting her inferiors touch her, which is compensated by her need for the money and repeated vows to make them all suffer terribly, when she finally gets her revenge!
Agree that Claire could be the key to a different ending, because she's probably the first person Monica has encountered that's willing to help her without demanding something in return, especially when she's at her most vulnerable. Whether this leads to an epiphany from Monica and a possible interest in sex as a form of intimacy remains to be seen, but it'd be interesting to watch.
