This is not the first time we’ve introduced you to the world of high-class sugar daddies. There are multiple apps, hundreds of websites, and endless articles concerning the matter.

As a young woman, to live a high lifestyle without an income or a trust fund is a struggle. You want the drinks, you want the pretty things, and sometimes, just sometimes, you want to feel loved by someone.

Even the South African government has recently taken steps to deter “blessers” – the local term for sugar daddies – as it identifies it as a problematic issue, but we’re not the only country with it.

Over in the States it’s an epidemic as more and more young women – and young men, too – are looking to older, wealthy men to pay their way through life. Here’s one story, featured in Vanity Fair’s August issue:

Her adventures in “sugaring” started three years ago when she got hit on by an older guy and rebuffed him, saying, “Look, I’m not interested, so unless you’re offering to pay my student loans,” and he said, “Well . . . ?” After that, “he paid for stuff. He gave me money to help out with my living expenses.”

It ended when she went on a school year abroad and started meeting men on Seeking Arrangement, the website and app which match “sugar daddies” with “sugar babies,” whose company the daddies pay for with “allowances.” Now, she says, she has a rotation of three regular “clients”—”a top Austin lawyer, a top architect, and another tech guy,” all of them married. She adds, “Their relationships are not my business.”

She confesses she isn’t physically attracted to any of these men, but “what I’m looking for in this transaction is not sexual satisfaction. Do you like everyone at your job? But you still work with them, right? That’s how it is with sex work—it’s a job. I get paid for it. I do it for the money.”

And not only the money. “I’m networking,” Miranda maintains, “learning things from older men who give me insights into the business world. I’ve learned how to do an elevator pitch. I’ve learned so many soft skills that will help me in my career.

Considered the latest “dating scene”, the world of sugar daddies and their babies is extensive, and even cool in some circles. Although it really is nothing new, it has now evolved into an open and steady way to earn some cash, and receive other flashy items.

Arguments on safety, exploitation and women empowerment are all a part of it, but at the end of the day, it’s a decision that only the individual can make.

The Vanity Fair article covers all of these queries, interviewing various people on every side of the debate.
