what is a sugar baby

A sugar baby is a younger person who engages in a pseudo-romantic transactional relationship with an older, wealthier individual, often in exchange for financial support, gifts, or other material benefits. This type of relationship, known as sugar dating or sugaring, involves companionship or a dating-like relationship in return for money, designer goods, jewelry, or other forms of support. The person who receives these gifts is referred to as a sugar baby, while the older, wealthier individual is called a sugar daddy or sugar momma. Sugar dating is a mutually beneficial relationship where the sugar baby seeks financial support from an older partner, often for reasons such as paying for higher education, gaining access to a more extravagant lifestyle, or receiving mentorship. Its important to note that sugar dating may involve sex work, and there are potential risks such as coercion for the sugar baby if sex work is involved.
