When Susan Hodge started dating her sugar daddy she loved the luxuries he gave her\u2026 then it turned into something else<\/p>\n

I was a 30-year-old burlesque singer when I met Dan. I\u2019d just finished performing in a Soho nightclub when he sought me out and offered to buy me a drink, promptly ordering a bottle of vintage champagne when I accepted.
As we sipped our drinks we got chatting and I found him fascinating. Though he worked in finance, he wasn\u2019t remotely boring and like me he loved the arts and theatre. So when he asked me out for lunch the following day, I accepted.
We met at a Michelin starred restaurant in Mayfair, where the waiters greeted him like an old friend, and we ate oysters and lobster and drank wine the like of which I\u2019d never tasted before.
Over that first lunch I found out that at 48 he was 18 years older than me, and he admitted he was married. He was relatively honest and said he loved his wife and would never leave her, but that they never had sex and he missed intimacy. To this day I don\u2019t know whether the last bit was true!
He also said he\u2019d had other relationships with younger women and he was very interested in me. It sounds very blunt, but he didn\u2019t blurt it all out in one go, it was done over the course of the lingering lunch.
He wasn\u2019t my usual type physically, though he was very well presented in a tailor-made suit, and I found his personality fascinating, he was very witty and really listened to what I had to say. And he had the self-assurance that extremely wealthy men usually have, which is very attractive.<\/p>\n

He made her feel safe even though he didn’t mentally turn her on<\/p>\n

By the end of the lunch I agreed to see him again. But as he kissed me goodbye I didn\u2019t feel that leap of lust that I\u2019d hope to feel at the beginning of a relationship.
Though I didn\u2019t fancy him, I looked forward to seeing him again. If I\u2019m honest it was the thought of the experiences he could give me.
I decided to start dating him and see what happened. The first time I slept with him, after two more extravagant lunches, I admit I wasn\u2019t taken over by lust. I remember looking at his hairy back as he got undressed and feeling a faint shudder of revulsion.
But he did turn me on mentally and I liked being with someone so wealthy \u2013 it made me feel safe.
\u00a0I was a single mum of two who bought most of her clothes from a charity shop and was struggling as a singer \u2013 this window into another world fascinated me. And though we didn\u2019t have a firm arrangement financially there was an unwritten understanding he would help me in any way he could.<\/p>\n

He treated her to designer clothes and luxury holidays<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
After we slept together the first time he bought me a pair of designer shoes, saying he thought they\u2019d look good when I performed. The second time it was a necklace. And then he took me away for a weekend in New York. I was faintly disappointed we didn\u2019t fly first class, but when we got there the five-star hotel made up for it.
It was there that I mentioned I\u2019d like to put on a burlesque show and he immediately offered to fund it to the tune of \u00a320000. He asked for nothing back, other than tickets to the preview night.
By the time we went for a five-day trip to Bilbao in Spain three months in, I was falling for him. I didn\u2019t expect that, I knew I was completely capable of having dispassionate sex, I\u2019d had it before very successfully, and I don\u2019t know why I allowed myself to get involved.
Looking back it\u2019s hard to work out what it was, I think it was a combination of things. I loved my time with him, the amazing dinners, the delicious wine, the way everything was so easy. I liked being pampered and spoilt. And I think it helped when he let his guard down and we started having kinkier sex \u2013 so then there was nothing holding me back.
It was about seven months in that I started feeling dissatisfied. I loved being with him but it was all on his terms. I couldn\u2019t understand how we could have great sex, go to sleep at night snuggled up then fly home and he\u2019d disappear off without a backward glance.<\/p>\n

In the end she wanted more than he could give<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
It was all on his terms, he\u2019d let me know when he was free and make all the arrangements. I felt I had no say in anything. So while I enjoyed the luxuries I didn\u2019t enjoy the rest of it. I wanted more.
And that\u2019s what I\u2019d say to any sugar baby \u2013 make sure you can definitely stay dispassionate and compartmentalise, because I\u2019d put money on it that your Sugar Daddy can!
It was just under a year before I ended it. The money was nice, the luxuries were nice. When it was good and I was with him it was amazing. But I didn\u2019t like the imbalance of power and knew I had to end it. He\u2019d never leave his wife \u2013 though I do think he fell in love with me too. He told me he loved me many times.
I don\u2019t blame him for how upset I was. I went into a relationship for money and it was my fault I didn\u2019t stick to the rules.
In the end it was meeting someone much younger than me that gave me the strength to dump my sugar daddy. He was only 22 and full of fun. Like me he could just about scrape together enough cash to go out for a pizza and pay the bills and he was a fellow performer.
We lasted for four years and are still the best of friends. Ironically he left me for someone older than me but by then we\u2019d run our course anyway! I\u2019m now happily single. \u00a0<\/p>\n
