Sugar daddy is someone who engages in a transactional dating practice known as sugar dating, and provides money, gifts, support or other material benefits in exchange for receiving the attention, company and sexual services of a younger person in need of financial assistance.

The activity differs from hiring a prostitute in that the sugar daddy enters a long lasting agreement with only one or a few steady beneficiaries, who get paid for their company. Moreover, while sex is expected, it's not essential in all interactions between the benefactor and the beneficiary.

Use Sugar Baby for the beneficiary.
