Sugar Daddy Redux
| Thu Dec. 4, 2008 11:09 AM PST
Nearly a year ago, Mother Jones covered the employment opportunities available to hot young hookers via websites like SugarDaddy.com. Today a college senior tells the Daily Beast all about her own arrangement with one such sugar daddy, who made her a sexy proposition she couldn't refuse. After all, she had "tried working, but in retail, surrounded by temptation all day, I spent more than I made. Waiting tables was exhausting."
Seriously, you guys, working and spending within your means is HARD. And certainly all of the sex workers I know would disagree with the implication that sex work isn't physically and emotionally demanding, too. Not that this classy college student considers her "relationship" sex work. The most she'll concede is that it's "maybe even the distant cousin of—dare I say it?—prostitution."
No, please, you best not dare say that, since having sex with somebody you wouldn't have sex with if they weren't throwing loads of money at you for it is not so much a faraway relative of prostitution as it is rampant prostitution. Listen. When the great depression of aught eight kicks in to full gear, we may all have to start screwing old rich guys for money. But let's call it what it is. There ain't no shame in the sex-work game, but there is something sad, and alarming, about smart men and women saying that keeping or being a 20-year-old call girl on a personal payroll is simply a natural, apolitical, magnanimous situation all around.

I am stunned at how you've just insulted me, and thousands of other struggling men and women who are tired of dating the type of men that'll treat you to nothing more than a hot dog and fries. "hot young hookers"? I dare you to say that to the bloggers at the sugar daddy blog... thank goodness most authors are a little more thorough in their reporting. And BTW - the site mentioned in The Daily Beast was SeekingArrangement.com - which is focused on ARRANGEMENTS that are mutually beneficial, not cheap romps. Thanks for ruining the reputation of Mother Jones as an open minded, Liberal publication/blog, instead, you might as well jump on the FOX bandwagon of biased and un-researched persecution.
Capable Adults should be afforded the freedom to make mutually agreeable arrangements between themselves, provided no non-consenting others are to be involved.
Anybody here disagree with that basic principle?
And We're not involved in the arrangements in question, so the whys and wherefores of those arrangements are ... NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!

I have to agree with the comments above. I'm actually a sugar daddy on SeekingArrangement.com and I've never met a girl from that site who was "insecure" or blatantly looking for paid sex. Also, it's not really appropriate for you to lump "sugardaddy.com" with SeekingArrangement.com - their very different sites, and the latter focuses on aspects of mutual benefit and honesty as apposed to gold digging and chauvinism.
