My daughters friend has a sugar daddy that she sees twice a month. She met by him contacting her on social media instagram I think. Its been going on a while, and involves large sums of money in return for sex acts, but not actual sex. In the beginning she wanted friends there for her own safety. My daughter and another girl went once not watching, but there. Daughter said he was nice, and polite, but that it was vile. Hes She agreed and it happened. My daughter met her later and the girl is ok.
I asked my sensible friend what she thought I should do, and she says its normal nowadays, and that her daughter was interested in it beautiful girl, with good job and boyfriend. If your daughters friend is over 16 then there is nothing anyone can do. IMO it is a form of prostitution. There is a documentary on it on BBC Iplayer. Unless she's underage I'd leave it. A young impressionable girl with little self esteem can easily be taken advantage of in exchange for large sums of money.
It is sick, but if she's over 16 and consensual then there's not a great deal you can do. Shes My daughter is Its a lot of money. Your DD's friend is a prostitute. I would strongly encourage your DD to distance herself from this 'friend'. Yes it doesn't matter what terminology is being used. If you are having sex for money, that's prostitution.
A Sugar Daddy tends to be exclusive, a kind of relationship but paid for and with gifts jewellery, nice clothes etc. The name is due to the fact that the man is a fair bit older than the woman. It is an old fashioned term. If sex takes place then yes it is still a business arrangement but often there is actual fondness rather than getting dressed and buggering off home.
