I was married for 14 years to a man that, although girth and sheer size lacked none to par, was very selfish in bed. Along with other things I will not dive into here, he and I were not compatible to say the very least. I was only 19, fresh out of high school, when I met him. He was 10 years older and I was in a new state 10 hours from my home town.
Young and naive, I knew very little about my body and what I liked and long story short we decided to split. At the age of 30, I was thrown out into the world with nothing to show for it except a strong will to survive and a lot more knowledge of the type of relationship I never wanted to be part of again.
I now know, without a doubt in my mind, that I do not want to be tied down to another jealous lover and tormented by the jealous behavior which left me in solitude for many years without a single friend and without any time away to just have fun and enjoy life. That being said, I also know that I am still learning how to be an adult and take care of things like finances and taxes. The things he took care of and I didn't know how to do, after all, I was a stay at home mom and a master of household chores.
The things that I found myself oblivious to have bit me in the ass. Financially I have had a hard time digging myself out of this hole I was left in without some kind of support and monetary compensation a partner would usually help with. So I asked myself, "how can I get the help I need, without losing my individuality and self sufficiency", I had found for the first time in my life.
This is where the SD and SB arrangement relationship comes into play. I had always kind of looked down per say at that type of thing. Everyone seemed to consider it a taboo and unorthodox way of life or means to financial stability. But this time around, instead of being so critical of something I didnt know anything about, I found myself quite curious of this mysterious lifestyle and wondered how well the benefits outweighed the shame.
I joined a few of the SB dating sites where you basically post your picture and bio online for the wealthy men to browse through and if they found interest in you, they would send you a message about the possibilities of meeting and foregoing this conquest.
A lot of the men were very straight forward and schooled on the ways of the SD . Like, it seemed for most, this was surely not their first rodeo , nor would it be their last. Instead of flirting and being nervous constantly wondering what the other was thinking or what the other was really wanting , the first convos are mainly to make some sort of deal regarding how , when, allowance, needs and degree of attachment. Dos and Don't and raw understanding of how this was going to play out and that was that. It was like signing a contract for a job you bid for and ironing out the details so everyone is happy.
When I sat back and thought of it, I realized how this was exactly like a normal bf / gf or husband/ wife relationship... minus the feelings, attachments, jealousy, love, uncertainty, among other emotional aspects that were understood to be left at the door and understood that this was best for both parties. Once agreed upon the first date is made for meeting. I won't say if I did or didn't partake in the steps that follow, that is my business alone and no one else has the right to judge me either way I chose. But I would like to know what your stance is regarding this relationship of sorts. Have you ever been involved on either side of this arrangement before? Or know someone who has?? And do you think its okay to do this or is this something that should not be accepted among us in our society ?? I would love to hear what you think please take time to respond to me. I Promise I will read every comment and try to respond accordingly. Stay sweet SUGAR babies or not

To me I think it is just using a label and defining a niche that has existed forever. Essentially similar to power exchange dynamics in both BDSM and vanilla relationships. The level of mutual honesty in SD/SB relationships is commendable. Honesty and communication are not only a foundation in any relationship and friendship, but I also find it to be the most interesting part. Including the soul searching, to know how you really feel about something so that you can share your own deep feelings and ideas.

I spent a long time abroad in Southeast Asia, where the financial aspects of relationships arise much more rapidly than in the West. Attraction and economics are the initial components of the relationship- and not necessarily in any particular order.
I think the approach is actually quite honest (though plenty of deceit happens)- because when New Relationship Energy and attraction fade- economics becomes a defining feature of a relationship.

I had friends, Western Males, with SE Asian girlfriends/wives that were SD/SB relationships at the core and they seemed very much like a normal relationship with a more clearly defined Power Exchange which seemed to work well for both parties. The Male filled the Dom Provider role, and the ladies knew that their part of the bargain was to be submissive and quite sexually fulfilling. I would even venture to say there were more sparks in their relationships than in egalitarian ones.

Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing your story! I definitely can't speak on behalf of everyone, but I'm sure Eden community has never judge anybody for their choices.

I've never been involved in such relationships since the emotional aspect is important for me. But I guess this way of interaction between partners can be acceptable as long as it's comfortable for each party.

I guess some downsides may come with SB-SD-like relationships as well (lack of sense of intimacy and togetherness, for example), but as an adult person, you're free to choose any relationships as you want. And if it is corresponding with your current psychological state, why not?
