They THINK there's a difference. That's the big con of "sugar babies". They watched 50 shades of gray and think it's romantic and edgy. They're conning themselves into thinking they aren't prostitutes when they absolutely are. Not making a moral judgment here, I feel consensual paid sex should be legal. But call a rose a rose.

Don't worry about it and get your jollies off with whatever synonym you feel like at the time.

  I don't really see why the price charged makes a difference. Either you're having sex for money or you aren't. Everything else is just cosmetics. Again, I completely understand that the distinction is EVERYTHING for these girls, because they truly don't think of themselves as prostitutes. But that's simply their self-deception.

I don't disagree that sugar babies are prostitutes but to equate a $5000 entry fee sugar baby to a $200 backpage escort to a $25000 drink girl is disingenuous. The legal circumstances surrounding these exchanges, as well as the women that get involved in these are wildly different. Calling a rose a rose is fine, but that doesn't justify disregarding nuances between subspecies.

There is a difference. A prostitute or escort is likely a transitory event. A sugar baby, generally, would be more long term. The interesting challenge I have for people is distinguish between a sugar baby and a normal relationship. Academic surveys/studies show that ambition and wealth matter. Most women will not overtly say that they are specifically looking for money, but very few women would settle down with someone they are generally compatible with but who is constantly impoverished and reckless with their finances.
