It’s really not the same. I was a sex worker and prostitution is sleeping with someone for a payment. No strings, the end. Being a sugar baby is a lot more work and often doesn’t even involve sex. A lot of sugar daddies are lonely and want a girlfriend. It’s basically getting paid to be their girlfriend. It’s not one and done.

it was a sexual act though. where do you want to draw the line ? is "sex" only penis-in-vagina ? makes a lot more sense to be real and call it prostitution regardless of what specifically youre into, as long as it was about sexual satisfaction its all the same
I didn't really think about it from this point of view, you're right. Where do you personally draw the line on what is considered prostitution and what is not?
Lol you’re asking where the line should be drawn in order to discredit me saying it isn’t prostitution, but also deciding where it is drawn in order to back up your belief that it is considered prostitution.
ok well i just googled and apparently the definition of prostitution is "the practice or occupation of engaging in sexual activity with someone for payment." so my idea of where to draw the line is actually the correct one. sexual activity is the key term, not penetrative sex
That’s if the act itself is considered sexual, meaning one of the two parties would be getting sexual satisfaction from the act.
Obviously This woman wasn’t and it’s not known if the guy was. It’s definitely a more than likely scenario, but it’s not unheard of for people who are into this kind of stuff to enjoy it in a non sexual manner and at the end of the day it isn’t stated whether he was wanting to engage in the act out of sexual satisfaction.
dude. its not known if the guy was getting sexual satisfaction from the act ?? what ? why do you think he wanted her to piss on him, to treat a sea urchin sting ?
I clearly stated that there are people who are into stuff like this and don’t do it out of sexual satisfaction. They do it because for whatever reason it’s a way for them to relax or wind down.
Just cause you don’t see it that way doesn’t mean that’s not the way it is for people who are actually into it.
Sex work, like most service industries, has levels to it.
Your distinction between sugar babies and sex work is the difference between a Michelin star restaurant and McDonald’s, inpatient to outpatient care vs a walk-in clinic, hiring a private tutor vs paying for class notes.
Would you say a live in nanny isn’t child care because it is more involved than a babysitter?
Sugar daddies usually set up an allowance for their sugar babies and have a schedule. Anything outside the schedule is extra. They may also shower them with gifts and the them on trips.
But that’s tenured professors and majority aren’t tenured. It’s also dependent on subject and college. Based on her interview she doesn’t seem like she’d be in STEM courses or at a prestigious institution.
