Schall studied young, gay sugar babies, and Nistico explored the straight scene. Of their study’s 100 participants, more than half said the money they received financed their education. On average, the relationships lasted between three and four months.

Another problem is that the daddies don’t always see sugaring as work. In an episode of the podcast “Death, Sex and Money,” a woman who works as a sugar baby explains that while she self-identifies as a sex worker, “it’s more so the men that [she meets] who have a problem with that language.” Because they are choosing to pay for dates and sex using Seeking Arrangement rather than an escort service or what is traditionally labelled prostitution, many daddies have an aversion to labels that classify sex as work.

Sugar babies are not virtual. They are real people with real intentions who think about what they do.

  • Unlike the popular misconception, not all sugar daddies/mommas seek for a sexual relationship.
  • It wasn’t until last spring that Brian started having sex with men for money.
  • People are more self-aware and forthcoming and define the boundaries of the relationship right away.
  • In fact, there’s another biological impulse that I didn’t consider, and wasn’t even aware of until I spoke to Dr. Helen E. Fisher, a research professor in the anthropology department at Rutgers University.

I had become a member a few weeks earlier, partly as a social experiment and partly out of genuine desperation. I was frustrated with my job, which offered little upward mobility, and was thinking about quitting it to pursue my goal of becoming a full-time freelance writer. Holding me back were my lack of savings and my fear of sacrificing a regular paycheck. If I had a hefty allowance from a generous benefactor, though, I figured that I could take the leap comfortably. In an interview with The Times, Brandon Wade, the founder of SeekingArrangement, said his dating platform, which he has rebranded as Seeking, is not a vehicle for prostitution.

It’s perception, maybe. I want chemistry to come before the financial for me.

Then, they should think twice before they ‘adopt’ a sugar baby. Ideally, older users should take time to see if the profile is true-to-life.

Many students like Ava have used the service to connect with men and women by exchanging companionship, intimacy and often sex for fancy dinners, money and gifts. With all of this in mind, I created my Seeking Arrangement profile.

But this common stereotype oversimplifies the particular relationships at hand. Drawing the line between transaction and romance can be difficult.

Is there a Seeking Arrangement app?

Three-month of premium membership cost $44.85, which reduces the monthly cost to $14.95. And finally, if you pay for a six-month subscription, one month will only cost you $9.95. So, we can safely state that SeekingArrangement services cost less than average in the market.

Roberts fears arrangement-seeking websites are but another invitation for rich men to abuse young, vulnerable women. “It’s really the perfect storm of debt and a down economy, not to mention a generation of middle-class women coming of age who were raised to believed that their sexuality isn’t something to be afraid of,” says Roberts, a professor at Kingston University.
