I totally agree it's a whole different type of prostitution, but in the end it's still prostitution even if the sugarbabies like to think otherwise.
This is my take as I have been a sugarbaby for years,still am but have also been an escort before and currently doing both sugar and escorting.
The stupid sb's tend to give so much of themselves eg meeting often which I don't , I have always managed how much time I spent with my sd, this all depends on how much I was paid. What I like about being a sb is I find it safer in that you're dealing with one man not waiting at home and not knowing which punter is walking in next. I also like the fact you have just normal sex no kinks and demands, and they tend to be more respectful than punters who pound you and want to come twice or thrice for an hours pay. I meet my sd very rarely and he pays me the same set amount of money wether or not we meet that month ( it's paid monthly before any engagement) The only thing I struggle with is being reliant on him, if a sd drops you, it's not easy to come by one who is generous and a total gentleman. So replacing a sd is harder than finding a punter IMO ( my experience) reason I've decided to do both escorting and sugar is, purely because I do not want to be dependant on my sd, it works for me and I think I will always have one on the side.( you have to set boundaries which I have hence what my sd currently gives me is costing him more than actually getting an escort by the hour) being a sugar baby is not for everyone just as escorting isn't for all. I think escorting full time is perfect for girls who have a certain type of work ethic, the type that are on the ball, I admire that type however I'm a lot more layed back I find I burn out quick on just escorting....I love being dined and wined but getting same money as the per hour. But yes they are all whores personally I find sugar babies too naive and could easily be taken advantage of by sd. Sugarbabies go wrong when these men start lieing to them about being in love, that's the minute the sugarbaby begins to overly be available, I've always said there no such thing as sugardaddy/boyfriend , his either a sugardaddy or a boyfriend can't be both,and if he claims to be boyfriend he better be buying the house in my name outright.
