Sugar Dating

Sugar dating is a type of relationship where one person provides money, gifts, travel or other financial support to another person in exchange for companionship, dating or an ongoing relationship. The wealthier partner is usually called a Sugar Daddy or Sugar Mommy, while the receiving partner is commonly called a Sugar Baby.

Sugar dating combines dating and companionship with money, gifts or other financial support.

Sugar dating can be as simple as normal dating with expensive gifts, or as involved as relationships with an open expectation of money, financial support and sex. Sugar dating and prostitution can sometimes be blurry, and not all sugar relationships involve sex or payment for sexual intercourse.

Unlike a regular escort or call girl booking, sugar dating is often marketed as a relationship rather than individual paid meetings. Instead of a set price for sex, a sugar baby could receive a monthly allowance, rent, shopping, expensive gifts or holidays, restaurant bills or other financial help.

Sugar dating sites and dating apps are commonly used to find sugar daddies, sugar mommies and sugar babies. People also meet through online dating, social media, bars, nightclubs and while traveling. Some relationships begin as casual sex or a one-night stand before money and gifts become part of the relationship.

Sugar dating is common in wealthy international cities and travel destinations where there can be a large income difference between partners. Sex tourists, expatriates and business travelers may meet local women or men looking for financially supportive relationships.

Sugar relationships can involve women looking for wealthy men, younger men looking for sugar mommies, gay sugar dating and relationships between older women and younger local men. The last type can overlap with Female Sex Tourism, beach boys, sanky-pankys and the Boyfriend experience.

Not every person looking for financial support is a sex worker. Some escorts and prostitutes also use sugar dating because a regular sugar daddy can provide more stable income than constantly looking for new customers.

Gold diggers and scammers also use sugar dating and ordinary dating to find wealthy targets. Requests for emergency money, flights, phones, rent or investments can develop into a romance scam, especially when the supposed relationship exists mainly to keep money coming.
