Abstract:
A Sugar Daddy bond is a cross-generational exchange relationship in which money and resources are exchanged for sex and/or companionship. In the United States, Sugar Daddy culture is taboo and is understudied by anthropologists. Our research will describe how members of the Sugar Daddy culture in New York City view their relationships in a wider cultural context and how they conceptualize love, sex, survival, and personal identity in the realm of the relationships. The study contributes to many areas of cultural anthropology and will provide a unique case study of Sugar Daddy culture in New York City.
