sugardaddy
Gifts-for-companionship arrangement
A sugar daddy is an older man who gives money or gifts to a younger person—typically a woman—in exchange for companionship, often sexual.
The arrangement may be explicit or tacit: She found a sugar daddy to pay her rent.
The term implies transactional intimacy without the stigma of prostitution, though the line can blur.
Sugar mama is the female equivalent.
