Following on from the prostitution thread where I mentioned the sugar daddy arrangement being like prostitution, but got no response. I'd like to ask mumsnetters opinion on sugar daddy relationships ie the woman (usually young and attractive) has an arrangement with a usually older man with money. He buys her nice things /gives her an allowance and in return the woman has sex with him, looks good on his arm etc.
I've read a lot about this in magazines and it seems to be quite common, there are sugar baby and daddy websites too. Obviously many mumsnetters have a negative opinion on prostitution and imo this is almost exactly the same. What do you think? Is it right for a woman to service a man's needs for material gains?
Would you say its a feminist issue that women are motivated to use their attractiveness and youth to gain money and status in life? What is your opinion on sugar daddies, are they perverted and taking advantage of women's economic position?
And if you are fine with the sugar arrangements but not fine with escorting/prostitution EVEN when the women are willing and earning well (like the sugar baby), why is that, and what reasons have you got to substantiate the difference?
