Sweet like sugar

Abstract

Everyone jokes about it but no one talks about it. Sugar dating platforms are growing and gaining more traction with Singaporeans but society views it as glorified prostitution, where girls provide sexual favours in exchange for a glamourous life. However, reality is not always as it seems and these sugar babies have to hide their identities in fear of the shame affecting their personal and professional lives. We delve deeper into the psyche and circumstances of those in this lifestyle to understand why they took part in it and to challenge society’s perception of sex.
