The few studies that address what motivates women to begin sugar arrangements primarily focus on transactional sex (TS) in Africa and compensated dating (CD) in Asia. Researchers draw from three main perspectives to understand the reasons females participate in TS and CD which include the "sex for basic needs" paradigm, the "sex for improved social status" paradigm, and the "sex and expressions of love" paradigm. Drawing from 48 in-depth, semi-structured interviews, I explore the motivations that lead women in the United States to begin a sugar arrangement. In so doing, I found that, while these paradigms speak to some of the factors that motivate women in the United States to sugar, the reasons they do so are more varied than these three perspectives suggest. Instead, women participate in sugar relationships for a multitude of reasons which included the hope of obtaining money, material items, sex, companionship, love, mentorship, to relieve boredom, to have fun, and to satisfy their curiosity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Sexuality & Culture is a copyright of Springer, 2022.
