"It was 9 p.m. in San Francisco, and Jackson, a 29-year-old tennis coach, was scrolling through Chinese takeout on Grubhub. Just as he was about to click "order," a text came in: Daddy, can you send me money to get my nails done? He sent about $100, closed the app, and went to bed hungry. "In that moment, I decided not to eat," he says. "I only have so much cash.""
"From there, he fostered multiple sugar relationships, sometimes seeing as many as four women at once. Compared to the time-intensive hassle of modern dating, it was an efficient way to get his needs met. "I'm ultimately this successful because I work 10 to 14 hours a day," he says. "I'm saving time by just being able to be like, I need you to send me a picture of your butt. And then when I want your emotional support, we can schedule a time to talk.""
A 29-year-old tennis coach in San Francisco sent about $100 to a woman who asked for money and skipped dinner because of limited cash. A spontaneous offer to buy a friend's dress evolved into steamy exchanges and paid romantic and sexual relationships. He cultivated multiple sugar partnerships, sometimes seeing up to four women, valuing the time efficiency compared with modern dating. He described the monetary dynamics as carrying sexual power linked to capitalist precarity. Later, his coaching income fell amid layoffs and economic slowdown while requests from his sugar partners escalated to costly items and experiences.
