I recently watched Sugarbabies, a made-for-TV-movie with older billionaire men and cash-poor female college students.
According to Wikipedia, sugar baby “is a slang term for a young female or male who is financially pampered/cared for by a ‘sugar daddy’ or ‘sugar mama’ in exchange for companionship.”
This IS a lower budget movie. Don’t expect Hollywood production or Oscar performances from every actor or actress.
But it was fun and interesting and there were some things I really enjoyed about this movie.
I loved that this movie featured a variety of heroines and their situations. Every heroine had a different reason for hooking up with an older, wealthier man, and their reasons weren’t purely financial. Yes, they needed help with their college tuition and other bills. But one heroine was seeking mentorship in business. Another heroine was seeking marriage. The main heroine, Katie, accidentally fell in love with her sugar daddy before she realized he was a sugar daddy.
The women were supportive of each other’s goals. They talked about how they would all be successful and how their different successes would help each other. They weren’t competitors. They were similar to the women I’m lucky to surround myself with.
I loved that NONE of the men pressured the women to have sex. As one character pointed out, these men could pay for sex if they wanted that. They wanted companionship, someone to listen to their problems, to spend time with them. Many of the women did have sex with their sugar daddies (not all did) but they initiated the sexy times. They were in control.
There was one thing that bothered me about this movie and that was how Katie was portrayed as feeling guilty for falling in love with an older, wealthy man. Her sugar daddy was handsome, sophisticated, listened to her, showed her things she wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to. If he had been broke ass, she would have shrugged it off as a failed relationship. Instead, she felt guilty about caring for him. Rich men are worthy of love too.
And I can’t fault the women for allowing the men to pay. My dear wonderful hubby wasn’t wealthy but he WAS living at home when we first met and he had fewer expenses than I did. So he paid for a lot of our dates. When we traveled before marriage, we needed to be chaperoned (due to dear wonderful mom-in-law’s religious beliefs) so we stayed with his family. He often booked the travel and often paid for it because traveling was more important to him (I was more worried about paying my rent).
This isn’t that different from the sugar daddy situation, except the scale is grander. The men wanted to attend fancy events. The women couldn’t afford it. The men could and so they paid (for everything, including the clothing and transportation).
Would you feel guilty about allowing a man to pay for a first date?

One night. No one must know.
This is the text I sent Logan Ross this morning. The billionaire financier is my father’s number one nemesis and has been pursuing me for months. He wants to own me, completely, promising exquisite pleasure balanced by equally intense pain, vowing to dominate me, to show me wicked things a virgin like myself shouldn’t be interested in.
But I am extremely interested, and I’ll risk everything—my job, my family, my future—to experience one night of total submission with this powerful Dom.
Will one night be enough for both of us?
