My sister is a Sugar Baby

NC for this one but I promise I’ve been around for a while. Sorry it’s a long one too!

My younger DS (27) told me a few months ago that alongside her corporate job she is a sugar baby. When I questioned it (in a non judge way, just “are you safe” kind of way) she defended it with “it’s fine because I don’t have sex with any of them”.

she has both men and women who regularly buy her lavish gifts, send her money etc.

but this is where I am worried now:

1- she lets them have her actual address and meets up with them. Doesn’t have a PO Box or anything.

2- most of them she has met over social media and is quite quick to let them send her stuff, she meets up with them alone and with friends, but often asks them to send stuff before meeting in person. How does she know they are who they say they are?

3- the big one. she has now quit her job (good for her, she hated it) and moved back in with my parents. In January she is going travelling alone for six months predominantly funded by her main “sugar mama”. What if someone wants something more in return eventually?

I am worried about this going badly somewhere along the line. What if she comes across a weirdo and they have been given my parents address. Her and my parents will be at risk.

my parents don’t know about this they just know about someone who is her “wealthy friend”

I have tried to talk to her but have very little social media presence, and she seems to think I’m really out of touch. According her this is totally normal. It’s not is it?

I’m so worried, I have such a bad feeling about the whole thing.

Jesus. I have zero point of reference for this as / whoever the sugar daddies and mammies are out there I don't know anyone who is one? Who are these people ? - its pure mental. I'd be crazy concerned too as I can't imagine anyone who is a SD/SM is particularly normal.

How does one find a wealthy person who wants to give gifts? Asking for a friend

She has always been very money oriented and is a big instagram person. I’m really worried she’s getting swept up in the glamour/excitement without thinking it through… but I can’t really say that to her without upsetting her I don’t think

Why would upsetting her be so terrible? If she is telling you about all of this, you are well within your rights to give your opinion.

I mean its her life and if you can let me know how to do the same I am down for free gifts!

I don't blame you for being worried, and your sister sounds very naive and immature. That said, there's not a thing you can do about it. All you can do is hope she comes to her senses before this all goes terribly wrong.
