Is this a normal sugar arrangement in the Philippines or something rare?

I recently got my second SD, and I think he really changed my perspective (in a good way) when it comes to sugar dating here in the Philippines, where sex work is relatively cheap.

My first SD was purely experimental. I didn’t know about sugar dating prior, and I simply got curious after meeting a nearby Redditor who wanted to provide allowance. I didn’t even realize it was a sugar arrangement yet. I just went with the flow.

I was getting only ₱5k (around $90) to meet 1 to 4 times a week with intimacy 💀, dinner dates, and small gifts. Basically an SGF setup. And to be honest, he wasn’t attractive to me at all. Physically, not my type. Personality-wise, even worse. He had toxic masculinity, would stonewall me, and got irritated over the pettiest things.

I’m naturally patient and sweet, so I tolerated it, but it took a lot of emotional energy. When he started complaining and withholding allowance on some weeks, I eventually just lost interest and stopped putting in effort.

Then came my second SD, who I met on a proper sugar dating site, and it’s been such a huge shift.

He gives me a ₱40k (around $710) base allowance to meet 2 to 4 times a month for around 3 to 5 hours in a private hotel room just to talk, play mobile games, and be intimate. We haven’t really gone on relatively more public dates, except for a private spa villa.

Every time we meet, he buys me lunch and coffee and gives ₱2k - ₱5k ($35 - $90) more for things like dinner, birth control, and transportation, without me even asking.

On top of that, he’s already sent me nearly ₱70k ($1,240) in extra allowance for things like a new fridge, gym membership, or when I wanted something like a luxury bra.

He provided all of that in just 2 months (4 meets in total)!

If I had stayed with my first SD, I probably would've taken a full year to reach my 2025 savings goal. But with my current SD, I reached it in just 2 months.

And honestly? He’s exactly my type, both physically and personality-wise. He has no vices, he's a gentleman, and he’s actually kind of nerdy in a sweet way. He’s girthy af (girthiest guy I’ve ever been with lol) and a pleasure dom too 😍. Every time we meet, I feel like all I have to do is receive. Compared to my ex-SD, this just feels like a totally different league.

Is this what sugar dating is usually like in the PH, or did I just get lucky? Would you say this is a good arrangement, or is there better?

I would love to hear your thoughts!
