Sugar babies, mamas, and daddies all get something out of their relationship. Sugar babies get gifts, financial security, and attention, while sugar daddies and mamas get to spend time (and be seen) with someone younger and more attractive. In addition, sugar babies and their older partners may genuinely like each other.
