Being a SD requires deep pockets for wooing the sugar baby: clothes, exotic trips, restaurants. After doing it for 3 years and having successfully sent off the graduate to another state, i think i much prefer the hourly appointments where the only expectation is companionship/sex. I can't tell you how many fancy jockstraps, Hermes ties and Burberry sweaters i've bought over the years for the sugar baby (as gifts beyond his stipend). My current escort sees me twice a week. We never discusssed it, but he does expect me to see him regularly as we always book his time for the next appointment when leaving or he texts me at the beginning of each week to check my availability. It's a win win situation. I don't know if he sees others but his ad isn't up but he can have a few regulars maybe. He gets regular dependable work from me and i get the benefit of his generosity with his time (he doesn't watch clock) without the expected outlay of fancy dinners (although we go out, it's not always a 3 or 4 star restaurant) and expensive trips.
