Sugar-Babies

There is a new way for a co-ed to get through college debt free.  Her body is an asset.  Contract with a guy who has lots of money to be a companion, inclusive of whatever the contract states.  The man either deposits an allowance in her business account or promises to keep her in a particular lifestyle.  The courts say this is not the same as prostitution.  It is an ongoing relationship, presumably while the young lady is going through school.  Of course college is very busy for a student who wants to excel, so sugar-baby is a part time job.  There is no other part time job that pays so well, apparently.  For wealthy men, sex and companionship are in high demand.  It seems to be a sellers market.  Now religion, psychology, and "respectable" society will give counter arguments, with some degree of shock thrown in.  But what is the solution?  College is still expensive and a degree is a way to get on with one's life to a better or good lifestyle.  The student might agree that this solution is immoral, degrading, damaging to one's soul, and psychologically demeaning, but they weigh all that over against coming out of college with a huge debt.  So often, religion focuses on the solution, rather than focus on the problem or the cause.  Go after the high cost of education for young people.  There are ways to make colleges cheaper for the student, but society would have to carry that burden.  Society does not want to carry that burden.  The burden of cutting government benefits to oneself, or raising taxes on oneself, or paying more for some public benefits, would be decried by many people.  It is easier to just condemn the co-ed.  We are no longer our sister's keeper.  We leave that to the rich guy.  Who knows?  Maybe he sees it as supporting college education!  I would prefer a little more chastity, but I am old fashioned.
