Has anyone ever been a Sugar Baby?

[Anonymous]

It seems to be very common. Just curious if anyone on DCUM has done it, and how was the experience?

Every time a woman becomes a sugar baby, and angel gets her wings.

I've posted about it before. Years ago when I was 22 for about a year. It was only one guy and I just kind of fell into it. Didn't necessarily mean to. He was in his 40s, nice, fairly attractive. Met him at a bar. We hooked up and next time we met up he'd brought me an expensive gift. We hooked up again and another gift. Then he brought up the idea of sugaring. He'd done it before. Traveled a lot and when he was around wanted someone to be with, take to events, etc. There was a contract involved and everything. He got me expensive gifts, paid my rent, and took me on a few vacations. The sex was pretty good and all I had to do was be there when he wanted and attend events and dinners with him.

I never really understood why he resorted to sugaring. He could have found a girlfriend or dates that he didn't spend a ton of money on. In my shallow early 20s I think I just thought he wanted to be seen with women he probably wouldn't normally be able to date. Now at 40, I've wondered if he was married in a different state and the sugaring made it so no feelings got involved and no questions got asked.

I met DH about a year after the whole thing ended. DH knows about it. DH is kind of a nerd and is always interested in how things work and businesses operate. He was more interested in that aspect of things vs caring that I actually did it. He saw it as no different than any other consensual relationship.

When I was 27 and in law school I had a 40 YO BF for about a year. He didn't pay for my rent but he was very generous with gifts and trips. I'm not sure I was a true sugar baby but being spoiled at that age was pretty nice and a big part of the attraction. He was divorced so it wasn't an affair. It ended when I graduated and moved away.
