I'm A Former Sugar Baby—Here's What I Learned
In parts one and two of our interviews with sugar babies, we chatted with a woman who views the scene as a job, and another who looks at it as a serious relationship. Both parties, however, differentiated what they do from sex work — a view much contested in the comments.
For our third interview, we talked with Lily, a 25-year-old in New York City who dabbled in sugar dating on and off for three years. Ahead, she spills everything — including how much she charged per date, and why she ultimately left the scene.
This interview is part three of our series about sugar babies. It has been edited and condensed for clarity. Names have been changed. Have a story you'd like to share? Email us here.
Tell me about yourself — what were you doing when you decided to try sugar dating?
'I graduated from school in 2014, and after that I moved back home and started working at a designer shoe store downtown. I was making $12 an hour plus commission. When I started, I had hoped a lot of people would come in and spend a lot of money, but in reality it was really slow most of the time. I was probably just getting $400 a week or so.
'I really wanted to move out of my parents’ place, though, so when I met a girl who was on SeekingArrangement.com, and she told me how she had a lot of extra cushion, I decided to move out and joined.'

Where Sugar Babies Meet Sugar Daddies
Not long after the earliest online dating services, including Match.com and eHarmony, launched, sugar baby websites took the concept and turned it on its head. The predominating question on these sites, where wealthy, older men are paired with young, beautiful women is this: Why deal with the unknowns of a traditional relationship when you could enter into an arrangement with fixed terms?
Though most sugar baby and sugar daddy websites resemble traditional dating sites with their portrayals of beautiful singles and testimonials touting their success in finding a partner, the language used is different. On almost every sugar baby and sugar daddy website the words 'pamper' and 'spoil' are everywhere, emphasizing the transactional nature of the relationship. Man gets a beautiful woman to spend time with, woman gets her bills paid. Many sites call these pairings 'dating with benefits,' though the question of whether this is sex work looms large.
While the price of joining the sites isn't always clear without setting up an account, most offer free membership for babies and charge a fee for daddies.
Refinery29 has profiled the financial situations of sugar babies. Here's a look at some of the sites where sugar baby-sugar daddy arrangements are formed.
