Been reading a lot on the "sugar world" since a friend let's call her Sugar told me she was considering becoming a "Sugar Baby". A lot of people compare it to prostitution but to me it seems more like a relationship without the commitment. The normal "arrangements" anyway. Sugar is afraid that people will get the wrong idea and think that she is a slag but she prefers older men and wants to be looked after.
Of course she will need to be sensible and be safe and whilst it isn't a lifestyle choice I would make I respect her and will be there for her if she needs me. Does anyone know any? Best sources of reference I have found has been Arrangement site. Blog of a Sugar Baby - I admit that it took a bit of searching to find a blog written by someone who came across as thoughtful and intelligent, there were a lot there that some may label as "Chavs". I am not going to click on your links but to me the title says it all.
What happens when she isn't a "baby" anymore and is replaced by a younger model. Will she have wasted time she could have spent developing a career and be left on the scrap heap? I have no problem with age differences but am extremely uncomfortable with the power dynamic. Well I think anyone can do what they want with their own bodies so long as its consensual etc.
I don't think she should be judged for it but ten I wouldn't judge someone who worked as a prostitute. I personally find it a but distasteful and don't really get why people would find it a turn on to pay for sex.
There is an awful lot wrong with it, so YABU. If you like your friend you'd dissuade her from making herself vulnerable.
