Continuing on from our previous episode on the relationship between social media and sex crimes, we explore the extent to which the sugar daddy-baby relationship has been glamourised and advertised online, as well as the dangers of this romanticisation for young women.
Alongside plenty of other topics, we explore:
- reasons people go into sugaring (from both sides) - be it want or need
- the historical origins of this often exploitative dynamic and how the internet and social media has helped it become widespread
- motives of sugar daddy website owners
- the dangers and complexities of partaking in sugaring
- how feminism plays a role and how it is absent
- the rebranding of love as transactional
- and how sugaring has been separated from traditional sex work through its online glamorisation
