Sugar daddy is a slang term for a man who offers support (typically financial and material) to a younger companion for sexual favours.

With college tuition and expenses on the rise, some girls are willing to use their bodies as a tool to meet their educational overhead. Hence, the ‘sugar daddy’ arrangement has been gaining popularity among college students in u.s.

The average graduate debt load in u.s. is $75,000, and some longer programmes force students into deeper debt. ‘Sugar daddy’ arrangements connect students looking for a patron to those with money looking for a no-strings attached sexual relationship.

“Sugar daddy” arrangements have existed for ages, and it’s unclear if they are becoming more common because the phenomenon is not well studied. But experts say at the very least the internet has made these transactions far easier to arrange and negotiate. Craigslist, backpage.com and seekingarrangement.com are platforms that students use to find sugar daddies.
