Some of us like the attachment, I think that's what makes the arrangement different from hiring escorts. My current sugar baby and I have connected quite nicely and I think we're already quite fond of one another...frequent texting for no particular reason (in both directions) for example. It still feels transactional of course, but even at our first meeting he seemed somewhat reticent about getting paid. After discussing whether he would prefer something else though he said getting the money seemed to make the most sense.
