I think it relates to sex, but I don't think it's prostitution. To me, this is a character who has begun to seduce men, trawling bars late at night on her own to pick guys up. She has crossed the line, almost becoming a bit of a hunter. The line 'some whose give twists itself to take' makes me think of people getting into casual arrangements and then wanting more - affairs etc develop into wanting the other to leave their partner. This is straighforward sex, no strings, no complications. Some people go out and give blood, they fight or take drugs or self-harm compulsively, whereas she seduces. The video with Santa really gives me that impression. The only way she can live is to give herself. I wouldn't term it sex addiction, but it's definitely drawing her in.
