Material girls? Inside the world of 'sugar dating'

Live Wires

Available for over a year

Handbags, cars, tuition, holidays, money... these are just some of the 'benefits' women who date 'sugar daddies' could expect to receive, in return for their company. It's a transactional, consensual relationship. According to sugar dating websites, it is 'mutually beneficial'. But is it just exploitation of vulnerable women? 5 Live reporter Rory Carson meets two 'sugar babies' chasing boyfriends with benefits - and Robert, who has spent £300,000 on sugar dating so far.
