A bit of a retrospective to close out this post and my first experience with sugar dating…
From my original, post, this is what I wanted….
I wanted to try sugar dating.. Mainly because I wanted to extend my trip planning beyond P4P, sight seeing and eating.
In my ideal scenario for the next trip, I would have 4-5 short meetings to ‘gauge chemistry’ and agree on arrangements, which would lead to 2-3 long dates that would include play time. I want to date a 19-22 year kawaii type girl, late twenties to mid 30’s professional, and 40+ divorcee who is hot to trot…
While things didn’t go quite as planned from the original plan, it did go close to the plan I finalized days before my trip..here is a bit of a recap, that may be useful to others, or may be interesting…or maybe not
SA: Many (or at least a couple) have said that a lot of work is required to get 1 potential good relationship from SA. People say that SA requires a lot of time and energy, to filter girls out. I believe this is true, even though I consider myself pretty lucky. Some metrics. Around 20 initial conversations and pictures exchanged. I did say I was married, which probably did eliminate some of the girls. Probably 5 girls did not respond once they say my pics and about 5 girls I did not respond to after seeing their private pics. About 15 girls I had exchanged about 5-10 messages with. 10 girls I exchanged Line contacts with and had some conversations. 6 girls I had serious enough conversations to the point where we may meet. Planned to meet 4 girls going into to Tokyo and met 3 girls. One girl I had sex with and provided a ‘sugar’ fee. Throughout this post, I pretty much described my experiences and the girls.
Planning
A couple of good points of advice were to:
- Move to Line quickly.
- Setup an initial short lunch/drink to minimize risk and not to pay for it
- Align on financial agreement before going on the sugar date.
I did 1.5 of the three with the girl I can consider my sugar baby? That is really weird to say… I don’t think I have enough money to be considered a sugar daddy. I moved to Line quickly, the short lunch/date turned into a dinner, but I didn’t provide her with any benefits for the dinner except paying for expenses. I did not align on the financial agreement with her before we had sex.
Note: Some girls did not want to chat via Line, but wanted to used What’s App. For some reason, I ended conversations with those girls. I think it is because if she wasn’t willing to give me her Line account, I didn’t want to move further.
Financials
I had three dates. One girl I had lunch and coffee with, no extra money was provided. Girl #2, had about a 6 hour date in Asakusa and Shinjuku and did not pay extra money, just meals and some refill to her train pass. She was the hottest of the girls (solid 8.5), but I knew going in that it would not lead to sex and that point (Sunday), I was pretty attracted/committed to my sugar girl and a ‘girl I met at a bar’ LOL.
Like any good TAG member should do, I read all related threads regarding the subject and I could not find a good number for the payment. Even in the thread labeled, “Going Rate for SBs in Tokyo”, I was still confused.
Unlike others here, I was not directly propositioned by the girl many times. From the small sample, I was offered dinner only for 10K and intimacy for 40K to 50K.
I expected more direct propositions, but it did not happen. No big deal.
After having sex with the girl for the first time, I pretty much told her that I am new at this and let me know what she wanted. She said it was for me to decide. I put an envelope of money in her purse. I didn’t want to give her an envelope directly. She responded happily via Line after, saying I gave her too much. So I either did give her more money that she was used to (which I don’t think to be the case), or money wasn’t the only reason she saw me (which I hope to be the case)
More about the girl..
She’s a freaking sweet heart, whose looks is about a 7, and I don’t care.. While new to SA, she is not new to sugar dating. She is used to sugar dating older Japanese guys, where they give her an amount, and they go directly to the hotel.. She liked the fact that I took her out to dinner, coffee, dessert, and acted like a gentleman in Japan (or any average guy on a date in the rest of the world) . She liked the fact that I held her hand or let her hold my arm. And all the things that she liked, is what I was looking for in a sugar date. Something beyond the temporary p4p sessions I have been so accustomed too.
Life can be really hard in Japan with the wages for some people here… she works two jobs, sleeps little and I am glad I could have been some solace to her life, by at least seeing her eat well (and not combini food) for a couple of days..
Sex was amazing…after a bit of a rocky start.. sex was better after each time I met her.. in the second session, I joking used the tie of a yukata to wrap her hands…this lead to harder S play in my final session.. you can read more in the threads above, but sex was great and I look forward to what may come in the future.. a list of my sexual desires..
The grey area of Sugar Dating vs P4P
There is so much back and forth here on the degree/level on what level sugar dating is of p4p. It is p4p, I am not going to deny that. But with the level of time, emotions and commitment involved from both sides, it is isn’t clear cut on the percentage. What she puts into our relationship, isn’t strictly about the money. But I am pretty damn sure that if no money was involved, she would not see me. And for some girls, I am sure there is no chance they would see me.
Thus, I am understanding the ‘gray zone’ that people here discuss.
After I came back from Japan, I read a post where
@Wwanderer said
- From the very beginning try to enjoy your sugar pleasures "in the moment" ONLY and avoid thinking and planning for the long term. Try to have a "Don't cry because its over; smile because it happened" attitude from the start, not just after it is over.
- Perhaps most importantly, don't expect sugaring in this style, with real feelins and connections, to be easy or free of emotional pain. Important relationships of any sort at all (and life in general for that matter) are simply not like that. The joys can and should outweigh the costs, but costs there will be.
I am trying to have this attitude with this girl. I will look back and enjoy, even if it was just for the moments in this past trip. Or, even whenever it may end.
But I do see where jealous and emotions come into play with sugaring. I am not afraid to admit that when I logged on to SA, I was not happy to see some of the potential girls (including the sugar girl) was online or logged in today. I am damn sure I am not the only guy who feels that way.
Next Steps
I am staying away from SA for now, not because I have found my ‘one’, but because of my personality (see examples of my addictive personality in another post). I could easily do this shit all day. Shit meaning meeting new girls, having good Line conversations (my Line game is pretty strong, but need improvements in finding the right Stamp quickly) and having meet and greets, dinner. It’s exciting to engage on conversation with new girls and getting that spark. But, I didn’t have a spark with the girl I found, we just ended up having good chemistry when we met. I could probably do that again. I am not in love with this girl, and have other opportunities (see a girl I met at a bar…). There were also 2 other girls, that I would like to get to know better.
The other girl..
Going in, I had the best Line conversations with another girl. She is in her late twenties, OL. We had some playful conversations, but I know she has multiple guys she is dating or dated and is experienced. I think she is really really in this for the money, gifts and likes to be spoiled. I am pretty sure most girls are like that, but for her, most definitely. She admittedly, has a princess complex. But, I was Ok with that. I find that a bit cute. She was only available to meet Sat afternoon, and she got sick. Unless she is an expert liar, I think she was telling me the truth. We still chat now.
I am not sure if I will meet her during my next visit. Will probably meet her, but her budget requirement will probably not be worth what I want to invest in.
Semi funny story. I bought her a small gift for our meeting. I obviously could not give it to her, but she said if I wanted, I could mail it her. She subsequently gave me her address. I don’t know if it is her address, but it is definitely an address to an apt building in the city she said she lived in. Be it her own, a friend, or her family, I think that’s a bit weird to give someone you have not met an address. I shake my head for multiple reasons on why she gave me an address. The cynic side of me says she really wants that gift, though it was small and she expected me to mail it (which I did not). The optimistic part of me, says she trusts me.
Alright, that’s all I have. I feel that I need to get these posts out after my trip, so I can go back to reality, and to look forward to my next trip.
Cheers.
