“Sugar daddies: The new way to pay off college loans?”
That was the headline on an August 2011 story in The Week. The article reported that websites such as “SeekingArrangement.com, SeekingTuition.com, and SugarDaddyMeet.com allow young, mostly female students to post ‘sugar baby’ profiles and hook up with a ‘sugar daddy.’” The founder of SeekingArrangement said he’s seen “a 350 percent jump in verified college-going ‘sugar babies’ since 2007, and he now actively advertises his site as a way to pay off student loans.” The Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper The Oregonian reported on March 12 that the respected 20-year editor of its editorial pages died at age 63 of cardiac arrest following a sex act with a 23-year-old college student. The woman told deputies that he had been giving her money for textbooks and other school expenses in exchange for sex.
