Pretty young women and older men of means -- 'sugar babies' and 'sugar daddies' -- are pairing up thanks to a US website that openly offers companionship for money, but balks at the word prostitution. It is one of dozens of Internet sites that centers around the age-old idea of a "Sugar Daddy" -- an older man who pays to maintain the lifestyle for a younger, beautiful companion.
On SA, the idea is simple: a man who is "rich and successful You are looking to mentor or spoil someone special," says the site. For the woman, who is ideally "attractive, ambitious and young," membership on the site is free. The couple will meet, dine, travel together -- and maybe more. On the site's blog, "BellaSavantNYC" describes herself as an an educated career woman and says that helps her attract even more men.
I have been in arrangements where it was platonic as well and it was just as fulfilling," she writes. And of course, there are Sugar Mommies too, dating younger men. Ronald Weitzer, a sociology professor at George Washington University and author of several studies on the sex industry, says under US law, there must be talk of money for sex from the start of the process to constitute prostitution.
In the case of SA, he says, the specific amount is not asked for right away. Basically that would be a definition of prostitution. So are Sugar Daddies truly searching for romance or fixed-rate love? They are not the type of person who would go out on the street, looking for a prostitute -- they are lawyers, corporate people, bankers.
