Just curious, are gold diggers breaking the law? If the law is that you can't exchange sex for money, and that is essentially what they are doing - dating a man they have no interest in simply because he has money and/or buys them valuable things.Ok.....
I'm not talking about real providers, just girls who actively go out trying to date men for their money. It's not uncommon. But I've never heard of anyone being arrested for it. I guess they could use the "but officer I wasn't dating him for his money, I actually just get turned on by 90 year old men even though I'm 25 and look like a supermodel" excuse, but that's just as flimsy as the "paying provider for her time as a donation blahblahblah" excuse for prostitution.
So how is this not something that is prosecuted? Originally Posted by rpimps

Sex with a prostitute involves a discrete (that is, separate or distinct) pay for play transaction, often between people who just met. The provider hangs up her figurative shingle, inviting all comers as long as they pass her screening and pay her fee, which is based on the duration of the encounter. The provider may see dozens of hobbyists in a given month.Thank you
By contrast, a sugar daddy and a sugar baby may do many things other than fuck, like go to museums, plays, concerts, restaurants, shopping, etc. The SD pays for these things. In addition, the SD may give his SB an allowance, often in advance once the relationship has developed. The SD may also pay for his SB's rent, car payment, medical care, etc. There is a certain degree of exclusivity in the relationship -- that is, the SB may only play with her SD, or maybe only her bf and her SD. SBs usually have jobs or go to school or both. Often, a SD may have to have multiple dates with the SB before she'll let him steal the pootie.
Here's an example to illustrate the point: I saw my SB the other day. Once we were alone, I tried to make a move. But the little monkey said she wasn't in the mood because she failed her sociology test. My reaction: 'Oh, well. Better luck next time.' Imagine that reaction with a provider.
The bottom line is the two types of relationships are VERY, VERY different. Most providers would never consider being a SB because their volume business results in large amounts of cash, which many use for things like supporting their lameass bf's and for entertaining substances. SBs, on the other hand, use their allowance for things like tuition and books.
btw, you have an odd view of SDs and SBs, maybe based on watching too many movies. In reality, most SBs are just normal girls trying to build a better life. Anna Nichol Smiths are few and far between. Originally Posted by ShysterJon

There are SBs who expect allowance in every price range. Heck, the redhead to my left is perfectly satisfied with $150 for an overnight.
When the SB gets older and the looks start to go, if they haven't invested wisely and/or gotten some real work experience, their SD is going to drop them like a rock and be on to the next one, and they will be looking at becoming yet another street ho because they have no other capital or marketable skills.What fucking cheap novel did you get all THAT from? Haha. I've never had a 'professional SB.' My SBs have all been 17 to 25, intelligent coeds on their way to a degree and a career. I see them for 18 months to three years, and they move along, as I do.
It's like the majority of athletes: they get paid a ton of money for their physical attributes, only to learn that nothing lasts forever, and oops, now I'm broke with 50 kids to support and 12 different stds. Originally Posted by fragtasticator

Does the "fee" have to pertain to a single specific act of sex or just any general relation? The gold digger might not be getting a fee for each specific time they have sex, but she is certainly getting that fee at some point in the relationship either in the form of cash or a credit card or a thousand dollar Gucci bag that she can exchange for cash, etc. If the fee has to be associated with a specific sexual act then why does the "that provider isn't being paid for sex, she's being paid for her time" excuse not fly? It's essentially the same thing. I'm getting the impression that the law just twists itself to prosecute the people it wants to prosecute and ignores others based on what's culturally acceptable rather than what is actually written in the law.

That doesn't describe the kept women/sugar babies/mistresses/etc I know, nor the guys who provide for them. I am sure the examples you describe exist but you seriously overgeneralize.
You will never see SBs getting it from the po-po like a street provider....BUT!

If we follow fragtasticator's logic, about 90% of all marriages involves prostitution. One party is providing a service (food, housing, etc) while the other party is providing sexual services.
