The term sugar babe describes a young woman who is "sweetened" with gifts and luxury. She is in a relationship with a sugar daddy.

Sugar babes are usually female, young, well-groomed and good-looking. Most are between 20 and 30 years old. They are in a long-term relationship with a so-called sugar daddy, who is older and not just financially independent but rich. The relationship between the two parties rests on the daddy providing the baby with cash, gifts, career or other material advantages. She, in turn, is his companion, and sometimes they are even taken out like accessories. The relationship normally includes sex as well, but that always depends on the two people involved. So it is a bought partnership.

The sugar babe's duties

She has to take great care of her appearance. Always be well-groomed and look good. That applies not only to the days she meets her daddy; she has to look after herself in general. After all, she could run into someone who knows him somewhere, or he could invite her spontaneously to a date or something similar. That brings us to the next point: the baby has to be available almost all the time. She must be self-confident and above all respectable, because that's what matters in this business.

Duties at a glance:

The start of the partnership

At the start of the relationship, the terms are negotiated. That means how much money is available to the baby each month, what does she want, or does she wish for broader support than just financial? Does sex belong to the relationship? Are there events or occasions where her presence is mandatory? What about vacations and short trips?

The sugar baby cost per month

The sugar baby cost per month has to be worked out very individually. It depends on the agreements and on the daddy's available budget. Sugar babes do, however, have high expectations of their partner. Do they only want their studies financed, a supplement to their salary or to live in luxury in general?

The sugar daddy may transfer a fixed amount each month, which then covers visits to the theater, parties and so on, and possibly sex as well. A baby can be "rented" for an amount starting at $1,000 a month. With the lower amounts, though, the daddy has to expect that he isn't the only one and that she shares her time with others.

In some cases a sugar babe will also be paid by effort. This business model suits daddies who travel a lot or whose main residence isn't close to their baby. The average hourly rate can be around $100 an hour.

Whether these amounts are justified is for the daddy to decide, but he isn't buying a food processor, he is renting a woman who brings her body and her entire personality into the relationship.
