Background on SeekingArrangement:
The largest hub of "sugar dating" - a new euphemism for sexual exploitation - is a website called SeekingArrangement. SeekingArrangement describes itself as creating “relationships on your terms." The website conveniently does not explicitly define the "terms," but does unabashedly market to older, wealthy men or "daddies," promising them young, attractive women or "babbies." A growing number of survivors - and even those who promote prostitution - make clear that "sugaring" is squarely part of the commercial industry: sexual favors are expected in return for money, gifts, travel, and other items of value. The inherent power imbalance between the "daddies" and "babies" and the known expectations of "sugaring" puts the young women at great risk.
Further, SeekingArrangment targets college students who are struggling with student debt with advertisements and free premium accounts, in order to provide sexual gratification to more socio-economically advantaged men.
Make no mistake, sugar dating is prostitution and it is vital to push back against the normalization of such an exploitative trend.
Sugar dating and other similar sex for money ‘mutually beneficial arrangements' fit several state prostitution statutes. Howver, many individuals involved in sugar dating convince themselves it's not prostitution because the exchanges involve socializing and conversation. However, the entire premise of SeekingArrangement is based on a power imbalance that caters to the man’s choice about the tone of the relationship, and so many young women are vulnerable to exchanges contingent on sexual access, which by definition amounts to prostitution.

Make no mistake, sugar dating is prostitution and it is vital to push back against the normalization of such an exploitative trend.
Research has found that “the majority of sugar dating and other similar sex for money ‘mutually beneficial arrangements’ are illegal, as they are forms of prostitution, and state prostitution statutes should reflect this reality, regardless of the wealth of the parties involved.”
