They are married living together that's totally different than meeting a man when it's convenient for him and being paid for it, can't you see that ?

I find it interesting to see the number of threads in which people are venting all of their anger and pain over current relationships. And the only anger and pain I have to vent is from my now long dead marriage.

But not one complaint from me about escorts. Now I wonder why.

Because your relationship is not real it's a business arrangement

Runwild thanks for bringing your experience with escorts into this threat. Way to fuel the stereotypes.

Some SD's are willing to pay for their SB's to live with them. It doesn't matter if they are married. Their relationship is built on the same superficial principles as an SD and SB arrangement.

I tend to come at things from more of a practical aspect than I do a moral one. I don't think my subsequent post had that much moral content.

I would not throw away a committed relationship in order to be a "sugar daddy," but (speaking strictly for myself) I don't see any reason why I should necessarily have to sacrifice one to get the other. I am in an open marriage, so if I had enough money to take a young gal out to dinner, concerts, or whatever, and if we were compatible as friends/lovers, then, yes, I would be very happy to be a "sugar daddy."

And, BTW, I would not be possessive; I would not prevent her from dating men closer to her own age, in fact, I would encourage her to date other people because part of what love means to me is caring for someone enough to want what is best for them, even if it means some sacrifice for me. (Also, encouraging her to date goes hand-in-hand with what it means to be polyamorous.) Thus, in light of all of this, I would feel no shame in being a sugar daddy, and I would not feel as though I was doing any harm. As I see it, using my financial resources to help a young gal have fun and feel loved would, on the whole, add to the world's supply of joy and love. This, as I see it, is a good thing.

Of course I am not saying that this is how all sugar daddies would feel. I'm speaking strictly for myself here. I'm sure that some older men might be manipulative and/or abusive, etc. This is the sad reality of many relationships, especially relationships involving radically unequal levels of power and resources.

Sounds like a SD/SB relationship is much more honest then the "Gold digger" type, Anna Nicole Smith in my previous example or even hugh Hefner. Women using old men for their money and pretending to love them seems pretty low. Unless they have an "Old man Fetish". Sean Connery not included.
