Sugar dating, also called sugaring,[1] is a pseudo-romantic relationship between an older, wealthy person and a younger, usually significantly poor, person.[2] Payment can be received by way of money, gifts like designer goods, jewelry , support or other material benefits in exchange for sex, companionship or a dating-like relationship.[3][4] The person who receives the gifts is called a sugar baby (or in the case of men, traditionally a gigolo), while their paying partner is called a sugar daddy or sugar mommy.[5]
Sugar dating is especially popular in the online dating community due to the easy access to specific niches and desires.[6] The term was coined by Alma de Bretteville Spreckels, who married Adolph B. Spreckels, the heir to a sugar fortune, and called him "sugar daddy".[7]
