The legal side of sugar

what can sugar babies do legally

By Lena BaileyPublished 6 years ago 4 min read

So there is some confusion and question as to what sugar baby can legally do for their sugar daddies. It can be confusing at times but I'm here to simplify it. I will say this before we get started the laws may vary from place to place but they are similar or the same in most place but we will talk about that here in this post.

So you may be wondering why it's important to follow these guidelines or to even know these things. It's important because you don't want to be arrested or accused of anything illegal. You can be accused of anything even if you don't do anything wrong. If you follow my advice or at least consider it, it will be less likely that you will get in trouble or accused of anything.

Since we are talking about the law I want to talk age. In some parts of the world and country the legal age of consent is 16 but you have to be 18 to be a sugar baby. We will talk about the legality of sex and sugar later but the reason you have to be 18 is in case sex happens in the relationship/ arrangement. You also have to be 18 in case you leave the state. Also it is 18 to be a sugar baby because that's the legal age in most states.

So let's talk about sex, sugar and the law. Legally you can't take money or gifts for sex. Some babies may say "oh I didn't get paid for sex but I did get this cool bag." That is still accepting payment or compensation for sex and that is still prostitution and illegal. So in some arrangements sex is involved but that is not what the sugar baby gets paid for. What's the difference? So if you have do something sexual for him to get paid or to get a gift that's prostitution. If you get gifts and money even if you don't do sexual stuff with him, that's not prostitution. Sugar is not prostitution nor is it a loophole to do prostitution legally.

Sex also includes anal and oral. Basically thing of it this way if you have to touch their privates or do anything to their privates (even look at them) this can still be considered sexual acts for pay. You can get in severe legal trouble if anything you do can be consider in any definition as prostitution or doing sexual favor for pay.

Now if he is wanting you to masterbate in front of him or he is wanting to masterbate in front of you, avoid him. This also goes for mutual masterbation. This is still considered doing sexual favors for compensation. Plus revenge porn is a real thing. do you want videos and pictures of you naked or masterbating being sent out by this guy without your consent?

Let's also talk about nudes. This lifestyle is not about our bodies or selling our bodies. Even if they aren't touching your naked body but just looking at it for money you are still selling your body. It is also still considered porn even if it's just naked pictures. Now porn is legal but sugar is not porn.

Now there are things that are legal that you shouldn't do as a sugar baby because there's no one to help you if there's trouble. What I mean by this is that if you are a cam girl or do porn as a sugar baby sugar sites can't help you. If you do porn or are a cam girl for a porn site or cam site they will be able to help you. Also I believe there is a law against being a cam girl without going through the correct sites or channels.

Let's talk about fetishes and sugar. 50 shades of grey kind of introduced this concept of a guy into BDSM who spoils his partner. However that series of books and movies was not a good a good example of sugar and BDSM. Technically you can perform most acts in BDSM or most fetishes legally as a sugar baby. The main fetish that could be a gray area is cock and ball torture. A good rule of thumb with sugar in general but especially with BDSM or fetishes is that if private parts are involved it's best just to stay away from it. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Now sugar is not another way to be pro sub or pro Dom. The difference is that a pro Dom or sub more than likely won't have a connection to their partners or clients but all sugar babies should have a personal or emotional connection to their daddies.

There's some babies who take on roles of sellers and treat their daddies like buyers. This is wrong because sugar is not just about the money it's about networking and relationships. It's also about helping these guys with not being lonely or any similar problem, not that being lonely is really a problem.

So what can you do legally for a sugar daddy? You can do some fetishes and just be his date or girlfriend. Anything else can get you in trouble. Also anything else really isn't sugar. Sugar is not that complicated and you can really make money from just dating these guys. The problem is now that all these babies are offering more it's hard to find true sugar because the daddies are expecting and demanding more. Don't give in especially if you're not comfortable with it.

So I hope this made sense. My hope is also to help women with whatever they chose to do with their lives. So let's make sugar what it use to be and should be again!
