Due to the rise in popularity of OnlyFans, many see it as a superior way of earning money as opposed to sugar dating.
![Is Having A Sugar Daddy Better Than OnlyFans? [Pros And Cons]](https://sugarbabes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Is-Having-A-Sugar-Daddy-Better-Than-OnlyFans-Pros-And-Cons.jpg)
Many argue that the flexibility and control you have over an OnlyFans page makes it a much better side hustle than being a sugar baby, as that involves playing ‘girlfriend’ to a much older, wealthier individual.
Whichever option you see as superior, is mainly down to personal preference, but this article is going to discuss the pros and cons of each.
What Is Sugaring?
Sugaring refers to a transactional relationship between a wealthy individual and a younger person who, more often than not, is in need of financial assistance.
The two parties will form a relationship where the wealthy individual will either give an allowance to their younger partner, showers them with gifts and surprises, or all of the above!
In return, the younger individual will give keep their older partner company throughout dinners, vacations, and work parties. Oftentimes, these relationships become intimate, but not always. The terms of the relationship are decided by the two parties upon meeting.
They will come to an agreement on payment, and what kind of relationship they are going to have. Some of these partnerships will mimic regular romantic relationships, whereas others can resemble a ‘father, daughter’ relationship.
The Pros Of Having A Sugar Daddy
There are many pros to having a sugar daddy. Above all, he will give you money, either in the form of an allowance or in a pay-by-date form. Depending on the amount, this will give you financial stability to pay off any loans or expenses you may have.
Some sugar daddies enjoy paying for your expenses, so they may pay your rent for you, or tuition if you’re still in school. This will allow you to keep your income for yourself if you have another job, or oftentimes, your sugar daddy may give you an allowance as well as this.
Many sugar daddies are successful businessmen who are often away for periods of time on business. Therefore, they will often take their sugar babies with them to keep them company on their trip.
If this is the case, you’ll be taken away for free, so you can enjoy seeing the world, or relaxing somewhere else for free.
A lot of the time, these relationships come with no strings attached. This means you can have multiple sugar daddies at one time, or you can also continue to date men, resulting in more freedom.
Cons Of Having A Sugar Daddy
While there are several advantages to having a sugar daddy, there are also a few downsides to this lifestyle. One of these disadvantages is that you’re likely going to have to hide it from your parents and some of your friends.
While some sugar babies are open and honest with their families about where their income is coming from, others prefer to keep this part of their life secret.
You may also find trouble having long-term relationships, as some potential partners may not approve of your way of making money.
There’s also less security with this side hustle as you are completely dependent on another person giving you money. They could decide to end the relationship one day, and you’d be left with nothing, so it can be seen as less secure.
Risks about your safety are also a common concern when it comes to these relationships, especially when intimacy is involved.
Your sugar daddy may begin to hold back on payments if you refuse to fulfill his intimate needs. In some extreme cases, sugar daddies can also become aggressive if they are not getting what they want.
What Is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is a subscription-based social media platform that allows adult content, as well as regular content.
Content creators are allowed to create their own pages and post all kinds of content. They then charge a subscription fee and continue to post all kinds of content on their page.
They are also able to engage with their audience in return for tips. Most of the content on this platform is NSFW (not safe for work) and revolves around adult content.
Pros Of OnlyFans
There are an array of advantages when it comes to earning money on OnlyFans, one of the most obvious ones being, you can start it up from home, and you can be completely flexible.
There’s no need for a physical office or store, and you can work as much, or as little as you want. There are also very few start-up costs required, especially when compared to starting up a restaurant business, for example.
You are also able to build up your credibility quickly, as long as you are dedicated to it. This means your page can grow significantly in a short amount of time.
As opposed to having a sugar daddy, where they are in control of the money, with OnlyFans, you are in complete control of your own page and subscriptions. Although your audience are giving you money, you control the cost, and what you want to do in order to receive that money.
You’re also able to work from anywhere in the world as long as you have a good internet connection and camera! This differs greatly from being a sugar baby, as you need to physically see your sugar daddy regularly in order to maintain the relationship.
Following on from the above, you won’t need to physically engage with any of your followers, as all interactions are done online.
Engaging physically with someone in this way can make many people feel uncomfortable, and OnlyFans allows you to connect with your audience without having to actually see them.
Cons Of OnlyFans
Despite the many advantages of OnlyFans, there are a few downsides to this kind of money-making. It can be quite isolating, as you are likely to be making videos and taking pictures from your own bedroom and selling them. You’ll have no meet-ups and no colleagues.
Unlike sugaring where you are likely to receive an array of benefits such as free travel and expenses paid, OnlyFans will not provide you with any of this. You’ll need to find your own insurance, and sort out all of your finances yourself.
OnlyFans can also be seen as inconsistent. If you do not stay ahead of the trends, you may find some months are quieter than others, as opposed to sugaring, where you are often given a consistent allowance.
It can also become quite repetitive. If you find something that sells, such as a certain fetish, you may become bored with constantly creating the same kind of content. This differs greatly from sugaring, where you are engaging physically with another person constantly.
Final Thoughts
To conclude, sugaring and OnlyFans both have pros and cons. Whichever avenue is superior, will depend on personal preference. Some people may prefer engaging in physical contact often and will therefore prefer sugaring.
Others, however, may not want to engage with anyone on a physical level, may want complete control over their finances, and so, will prefer using OnlyFans.Both professions have different qualities, and the one that suits you most is down to what you are most comfortable doing.
Hi, my name is Riley Wilson and I am a sugar baby. I have been funded by my three sugar daddies for almost five years now, and my only regret is that I didn’t become one sooner!
I was an incredibly lonely student five years ago, struggling to pay for college, and working three jobs in my spare time. I had no time for a social life, and I was quickly approaching mental burnout.
A Google search out of desperation took me to a site designed to hook sugar daddies up with sugar babies.
