Sugar Baby
Updated:A sugar baby is typically a younger individual who enters into a relationship with an older, wealthier partner (often called a sugar daddy or sugar momma) in exchange for financial support, gifts, or other benefits. This arrangement is often characterized by companionship, intimacy, and sometimes sexual activities, though the specific terms can vary widely between individuals.
Additional Information
Sugar baby relationships exist in a gray area between traditional dating and sex work. While some view it as a mutually beneficial arrangement, others criticize it as exploitative. These relationships can be long-term or short-term, and the level of emotional involvement varies. It's important to note that sugar baby arrangements are not legally recognized as sex work in most jurisdictions, which can lead to potential legal and personal risks for those involved.
Examples
