Do Sugar Babies and Sugar Daddies have Sex?

Breaking news: Not all sugar daddies or sugar mommies are in it for the sex.

Hi, I’m Elaine Turner, the resident sexologist for arousr. And I want to talk to you today about a little bit of transactional companionship or sugar daddy sugar baby relationships, and why some people aren’t in it for the sex.

A study in 2020 found that roughly 40% of Sugar Babies weren’t having any sexual relations with their sugar daddy, or mommy. So why is it so popular to pay someone for their companionship? That same study also found that men were more open to the idea of sugar relationships than women were, that probably isn’t much of a surprise.

Another researcher found that there were as many as seven different types of sugar relationships. And many of those don’t involve any sexual relations at all. Sugar relationships are often lumped in with sex work, which is illegal in most places. But with so many people having these transactional companionship agreements with no sex involved, you kind of have to ask why that 2020 study found that the majority of people who are in these transactional relationships had a more self focused version of love and companionship. That’s a great thing. When you are self fulfilling and caring for yourself first, then you tend to care for everyone else more and a little bit better.

So there’s no real downside to a sugar relationship, whether they’re sex or not.

Stay tuned on a arousr for more kink education. I’ll see you soon.
