compensated sexual acts! <br> <br>Seeking Arrangement describes itself as “sugar dating” which is simply another term for prostitution. Research has found that “the majority of sugar dating and other similar sex for money ‘mutually
beneficial arrangements’ are illegal, as they are forms of prostitution, and state prostitution statutes should reflect this reality, regardless of the wealth of the parties involved.” <br> <br>“Both prostitutes and sugar babies are
bought by men willing to pay them to be sexually available, and they’re both damaging acts,” says Kathleen Barry, PhD, author of The Prostitution of Sexuality. “Unlike [prostituted persons], sugar babies have a delusion about their
autonomy. They believe that paying their tuition without loans or carrying a Prada bag makes up for whatever they’re giving away. These young women may act with bravado, but they often feel shame. The power inequality mostly benefits the
daddy,” she says, “leaving the ‘baby’ as powerless and dependent as her namesake.” <br> <br>Please remove the Seeking Arrangement app from Google Play immediately! As of December 16th it was still being hosted by you. If there has been
any update please tell the National Center on Sexual Exploitation at public@ncose.com. </div>

for prostitution. <br> <br>Even Google has recognized sugaring as a form of exploitation: As of September 1, 2021, Google Play is banning sugaring apps and Google Ads had instituted a policy prohibiting advertising for 'compensated sexual
acts' including sugar dating. <br> <br>Though research about sugar dating is relatively limited, the analyses of prostitution laws and sugar dating practices that do exist have observed that “the majority of sugar dating and other similar
sex for money ‘mutually beneficial arrangements’ are illegal, as they are forms of prostitution, and state prostitution statutes should reflect this reality, regardless of the wealth of the parties involved.” Even analyses that support
commercial sex work have noted that “overall, sugar dating is just one facet of a large sex work industry.” And sugar babies themselves have noted how often sex is expected, one “baby” stating that even if technically “sex was never a
requirement on SeekingArrangement, though I found it was often the main aspiration for these men.” <br> <br>And people have even been sex trafficked through the platform. Further, SeekingArrangement targets college students who are
struggling with student debt with advertisements and free premium accounts, in order to provide sexual gratification to more socio-economically advantaged men. <br> <br>If you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact the
National Center on Sexual Exploitation at public@ncose.com. </div>

HOW SEEKING ARRANGEMENT IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF VULNERABLE PEOPLE DURING COVID-19
* By: Haley McNamara (Halverson)
* May 5, 2021
Amid worldwide economic uncertainty due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Seeking
Arrangement is doing better than ever, leeching off of the vulnerable.
Seeking Arrangement is a sugar dating website that describes itself as creating
“relationships on your terms;” terms which the website conveniently does not
explicitly define, placing themselves in the gray area of facilitating online
commercial sexual exploitation.
But, in most cases, “sugar dating” is just another term for prostitution.
Research has found that “the majority of sugar dating and other similar sex for
money ‘mutually beneficial arrangements’ are illegal, as they are forms of
prostitution, and state prostitution statutes should reflect this reality,
regardless of the wealth of the parties involved.”
Seeking Arrangement’s facilitation of sugar dating is taking advantage of
socioeconomically vulnerable populations amid COVID and the student debt crisis.
In April 2020, it was reported that “World-wide [Seeking Arrangement] has seen a
member increase of 74% compared to this same time last year. In Massachusetts
that number is even higher at 86%.” This increase has a telling concurrent
correlation with 6 million Americans (over 181,000 in Massachusetts) filing for
unemployment claims around the same time. Seeking Arrangement promotes itself to
those who are vulnerable in this way, notably those who are also increasingly
pressured by economic context to accept sexual contact in the sugar dating
relationship so that they can pay rent or buy groceries to live.
Further, Seeking Arrangement targets college students who are struggling with
student debt with advertisements and free premium accounts, in order to provide
sexual gratification to more socio-economically advantaged men.
One young woman who uses sugar dating to pay for college, commented on the
overwhelming student debt facing her and her peers, she stated, “Maybe if the
American college system wasn’t as corrupt, then there would be a lot less people
doing it, and I wouldn’t have come across it.”
Another former sugar baby and college student stated: “Without a doubt, you are
putting yourself in an extremely vulnerable position. There is a reason the men
have chosen SeekingArrangement over eHarmony.com and that is to have sex with
younger girls.” In the same article, one sugar daddy said, “I’d be lying if I
didn’t admit that having a very young sugar makes an already exciting experience
even hotter.”
Make no mistake, sugar dating is pseudo-dating prostitution and it is vital to
push back against the normalization of such an exploitative trend.

Background on SeekingArrangement:
The largest hub of "sugar dating" - a new euphemism for sexual exploitation - is
a website called SeekingArrangement. SeekingArrangement describes itself as
creating “relationships on your terms." The website conveniently does not
explicitly define the "terms," but does unabashedly market to older, wealthy men
or "daddies," promising them young, attractive women or "babbies." A growing
number of survivors - and even those who promote prostitution - make clear that
"sugaring" is squarely part of the commercial industry: sexual favors are
expected in return for money, gifts, travel, and other items of value. The
inherent power imbalance between the "daddies" and "babies" and the known
expectations of "sugaring" puts the young women at great risk.
Further, SeekingArrangment targets college students who are struggling with
student debt with advertisements and free premium accounts, in order to provide
sexual gratification to more socio-economically advantaged men.
Make no mistake, sugar dating is prostitution and it is vital to push back
against the normalization of such an exploitative trend.
Sugar dating and other similar sex for money ‘mutually beneficial arrangements'
fit several state prostitution statutes. Howver, many individuals involved in
sugar dating convince themselves it's not prostitution because the exchanges
involve socializing and conversation. However, the entire premise
of SeekingArrangement is based on a power imbalance that caters to the man’s
choice about the tone of the relationship, and so many young women are
vulnerable to exchanges contingent on sexual access, which by definition amounts
to prostitution.

Please remove the prostitution app, Seeking Arrangement, from Google Play. Apple

Seeking Arrangement describes itself as “sugar dating” which is simply another
term for prostitution. Research has found that “the majority of sugar dating and

this reality, regardless of the wealth of the parties involved.”
“Both prostitutes and sugar babies are bought by men willing to pay them to be
sexually available, and they’re both damaging acts,” says Kathleen Barry, PhD,
author of The Prostitution of Sexuality. “Unlike [prostituted persons], sugar
babies have a delusion about their autonomy. They believe that paying their
tuition without loans or carrying a Prada bag makes up for whatever they’re
giving away. These young women may act with bravado, but they often feel shame.
The power inequality mostly benefits the daddy,” she says, “leaving the ‘baby’
as powerless and dependent as her namesake.”
Please remove the Seeking Arrangement app from Google Play immediately! As of
December 16th it was still being hosted by you. If there has been any update
please tell the National Center on Sexual Exploitation at public@ncose.com.

SeekingArrangement describes itself as “sugar dating” which is simply another
term for prostitution.
Even Google has recognized sugaring as a form of exploitation: As of September
1, 2021, Google Play is banning sugaring apps and Google Ads had instituted a
policy prohibiting advertising for 'compensated sexual acts' including sugar
dating.
Though research about sugar dating is relatively limited, the analyses of
prostitution laws and sugar dating practices that do exist have observed that
“the majority of sugar dating and other similar sex for money ‘mutually
beneficial arrangements’ are illegal, as they are forms of prostitution, and
state prostitution statutes should reflect this reality, regardless of the
wealth of the parties involved.” Even analyses that support commercial sex work
have noted that “overall, sugar dating is just one facet of a large sex work
industry.” And sugar babies themselves have noted how often sex is expected, one
“baby” stating that even if technically “sex was never a requirement on
SeekingArrangement, though I found it was often the main aspiration for these
men.”
And people have even been sex trafficked through the platform. Further,
SeekingArrangement targets college students who are struggling with student debt
with advertisements and free premium accounts, in order to provide sexual
gratification to more socio-economically advantaged men.
