I’ve been lucky enough to receive some fairly generous gifts from men in my life. While the gifts have never been consistent enough for me to consider myself a “sugar baby,” I still acknowledge that the men who have given me gifts are often, but not always, looking for something in return. In my case, the reciprocation has usually been in picture or video form.
Sugar babies and sugar daddies (also sugar mommas etc) are often lost in the shuffle when discussing sex workers. Are they even sex workers? Accepting gifts for company seems fairly innocent to me as an outsider. You want me to go out to dinner with you and hold your hand while we walk to our cars? That’s cool…you spring for dinner and slip me an envelope and I’ll be sure to keep the conversation flowing the entire time.
It’s harmless as long as both parties involved are on the same page about the arrangement…or is it?
There are some schools of thought that believe that being a sugar baby is straight up prostitution while other people see a definitive line in the sand between the two activities. I see nothing wrong with either form of sex work, but the fact of the matter is that it IS sex work.
Even if you aren’t actually having sex with the men that are paying for your lifestyle, they are still paying for your companionship. Being arm candy at a company function or charity event is a dream job for some people. You get the financial benefit of being cared and the price you pay is being interesting.
Maintaining conversations with people can be VERY difficult sometimes. When the age gap is huge or when there are hygiene issues, I imagine it takes a whole lot of patience to put up with the company you’re keeping. There is definitely a whole lot of skill involved in being able to keep a straight face while an older gentleman is breathing his hot, sweaty breath all over your neck.
Believe me.
What are your thoughts on being a sugar baby/sugar daddy/sugar momma? Do you think it’s cool to pay for the company of someone else, even if you’re not going to have sex with them? Have you ever been propositioned by anyone else for a situation like this?
