A "sugar baby" is typically a younger person who enters a relationship with an older individual, known as a "sugar daddy" or "sugar mommy," in exchange for financial support or gifts. These relationships can vary widely, ranging from companionship to more intimate connections, and are often facilitated through online platforms. Sugar babies may seek assistance with tuition, living expenses, or luxury items, while sugar daddies or mommies often desire companionship or a social connection. The arrangement is usually consensual, with both parties agreeing on the terms of their relationship, which can include regular meetings or specific financial expectations.
