The best sex I've ever had is with sugar babies. While SPs are good, there is almost always a detachment to them, and they usually don't get carried away, and I feel they make an effort not to cum or enjoy the proceedings too much. It IS, in the end, a job for them. Sugar babies usually don't know enough to put up that emotional barrier. It's incredible to be fucking a beautiful 20 something year old without a condom, and she's begging for you to cum in her after you've made her orgasm. They'll stick around after the orgasm, they're usually not in any rush, and for $5-700 for three hours or more. But picking through the ugly ones, the crazy ones, the flaky ones, the bots and scam artists is a real pain in the ass. And then you have to not develop strong feelings on your end, otherwise it WILL go sideways on you.
So all that said, I try to see a mix of the two. Toronto has some pretty fucking amazing sugar babies and lately, especially after COVID, I think they're heads and shoulders better than the SPs here. The best SPs here have become so expensive.
Montreal, the sugar baby/SP competition is closer to par. The SBs there ask for less - less money, less headache... But then the hot SPs there are hot and still pretty cheap.
NYC, the sugar babies are so crazy demanding and expensive that even though they're hot, the headache and cost tips it to SPs. 9 out of 10 SBs demand $1000 per meet, and it's hard to make the hot ones budge from that number.
