Sugarbaby confession: this is what adult jobs with a sugar daddy really are like

Sugarbabies talk about what it's like to do adult jobs with a sugar daddy

Expensive Chanel bags, a dream vacation in the Maldives, and £300 as pocket money per week – for many, this is an unattainable luxury, but with adult jobs, all this can even be part of everyday life. Sugar babies form relationships with older, wealthy men – so-called sugar daddies – in exchange for financial support.

It is not uncommon for such a relationship to generate up to 24 thousand pounds of additional income per year, or for a single sugar daddy to pay for an entire student loan in exchange for erotic services.

From the outside, this world seems glitzy and effortless, something that thousands of women try every year - but one former sugarbaby reported a very different experience.

Sugar babies are often controlled by withdrawing support

Carramello, who previously was in sugar relationships herself, now speaks honestly about her real experiences: she believes that the luxurious dinners, designer bags, and regular financial support are just part of the display.

The reality of sex work is much more nuanced than that. She believes that the sugar baby life is attractive as long as they get paid and are left alone – but that rarely lasts long.

The former sex worker had dealings with three sugar daddies: two long-term, and one that only lasted a few months.

In these relationships, women usually receive financial support, gifts, and trips, while men can "rent" themselves a partner they might not have a chance with in the traditional dating world.



Although many envy this seemingly carefree lifestyle, Carramello says it also has its dark sides.

Most sugar daddies are not just looking for companionship or a sex partner, but someone who will “put up with them” because they can’t find a partner otherwise. Over time, many young women find that material possessions come with serious expectations and emotional burdens.

You have to be very specific, and the more you spend time with your sugar daddy, the more you realize that many of them have no choice but to pay to be tolerated.

– said Caramello about the sponsors.

One of the most serious risks of sugar relationships is manipulation and power plays. Many men try to control these young women, college students, or even single women by threatening to withdraw financial support or using emotional pressure.

It is not uncommon for these men to be deeply misogynistic – they are often divorced, and their past disappointments are reflected in the way they treat young girls.

Many of them initially spend more on luxury items and travel than providing real, long-term support.

It often takes young women a long time to gain real financial stability from these relationships – if they do at all.

They ask a lot of you, but when it comes to a pay raise, they suddenly become very cautious. They try to manipulate you into working for them for free.

One of the biggest moral and legal issues in providing companionship is consent.

Many sugar daddies not only provide financial support, but also expect something in return – often sexual services, which can easily push the relationship into a gray area.

In Carramello's experience, you constantly encounter phrases like: "Send me a picture" or "Give me what I want" when doing this adult job.

These dynamics often give the impression that women enter such relationships not of their own free will, but under duress.

Opinions are also divided: while some believe that sugar babies are literally "selling themselves" by doing this, others believe that it is a conscious decision to build financial independence and security.



According to a 2024 study, the average age of sugar babies is 29 years old, while sugar daddies are typically 48. According to Kate Metcalfe, who led the study, the phenomenon is receiving increasing attention in the media and social dialogue.

Many people believe that a sponsor can offer security, stability, and protection – but science has not yet adequately addressed the real consequences and effects.

While some view these relationships as emotionless business arrangements, others believe that everyone has the right to decide whether to engage in sex work in exchange for financial benefits.

For successful sugar babies, however, adult jobs can bring significant benefits

Jess, another sugar baby, doesn't care much about moral issues: she used to be the poorest in her group of friends, but now the situation is the opposite.

At first, I was just chatting with rich guys as a side job, but now it's become my full-time job.

– the chatter tells us. She keeps in touch with her sponsors through an exclusive sugar dating platform, but never meets them in person.

Despite this, it happens that in a single day, just by exchanging messages, you can earn up to 2,000 pounds.

While many people believe that this erotic lifestyle can give them power and financial independence, the reality is that most of these relationships are far from being about getting rich quick.

Jess receives hurtful comments every day from online trolls who say, "Not all money is good money."

These relationships can therefore bring not only financial benefits, but also serious moral dilemmas and psychological burdens for the women seeking sponsors.
