Sugar dating is a type of relationship where typically an older, wealthier individual, known as a sugar daddy or sugar mommy, provides financial support or gifts to a younger partner, often referred to as a sugar baby. These arrangements can vary widely, with some focusing on companionship, while others may include more intimate relationships. The dynamics of sugar dating are often negotiated upfront, with both parties agreeing on the terms of their relationship. This can include the amount of financial support, the frequency of meetings, and the nature of their interactions, making it a unique form of modern dating.
