Summary: Women will happily trade sex for benefits even at the cost of intimate relationships and will hamster away being whores as "empowering."

The Thing: There is an interesting article on the BBC's news site right now which details how British students are seeking Sugar Daddies to pay their tuition fees and an agency that helps them to seek them.

There are various highlights (if you can call them that) such as:

"My married sugar daddy gave me about £1,000 a night," says Freya reflectively. "He was just in it for the sex.

I might not be a lawyer, but I'm fairly sure that exchanging sex for cash is the dictionary definition of prostitution.

My daughter happens to have been born with beauty and sexual allure. It's like a commodity.

Confirmation of what TRP already knows: the vagina is a commodity, and that's why BBs don't get much of it - scarcity increases the value. How many of these sugar babies are going to hit the wall and no longer be sought out by customers and settle with a beta that gets a pity handjob every few months then finds out that his prim and proper wife used to whore herself out strangers?

"It's the young ladies that actually have the power!" laughs 28-year-old sugar baby Alana. "I'm the one with the power."

In these women's minds, sex is power and they will use it to control men into providing for them. No need to work, just spread your legs and voila the rent is paid.

"I would not say sex is expected, I would say sex is aspired to"

Even if you're providing, whether it be cash as a punter or cash as a BB, you have no right to sex. Being a provider does not automatically earn you gratitude or affection, you have to be able to give them those tingles to get inside those panties.

Alana currently says *she has 13 sugar daddies on the go*, but has had at least 40 over the years. She claims she has only ever slept with three of them.

I doubt very much that only three of them got to plough her, but this proves that there are men out there weak enough to be willing to actually pay to be friendzoned. Just let that sink in for a second. I don't know whether to fee contempt or pity for these guys.

She's now 28 and doesn't have a boyfriend. "Sometimes you do get lonely. You're in late at night watching a movie and you might want company from someone. Not just any male friend but your partner, your boyfriend. "But would that be good enough for me *now*? Would that be satisfying enough?"

She knows that the wall is fast approaching and is willing to ride the cock carousel for cash for as long as she can before she settles down with some chump who'll be grateful to occasionally get a sniff of her worn out vag.

Lessons learned: For your average CC rider, pussy is a commodity and sex is a bargaining chip and they will use them to drain men of their resources. Not only that, but they will seek out multiple providers at the same time to maximise their commodities while they can. For those of you with a taste for women over 30 (myself included), tread very carefully before even considering a post-wall reformed party girl because chances are she will have done way more shit than she'll be willing to admit to.
