What is PPM in Sugar Dating?

Complete guide to Pay Per Meet arrangements in Australia

💰 What is PPM (Pay Per Meet)?

Definition

PPM stands for "Pay Per Meet" - a sugar dating arrangement where the sugar daddy provides a predetermined amount of money for each date or meeting with a sugar baby. Unlike monthly allowances, PPM is transaction-based and occurs after each successful encounter.

How PPM Works

  1. Agreement: Both parties discuss and agree on a PPM amount
  2. Meeting: Sugar daddy and sugar baby go on a date
  3. Payment: Sugar daddy provides the agreed PPM amount
  4. Repeat: Process continues for subsequent meetings

When PPM is Used

  • New sugar relationships (building trust)
  • Casual or infrequent arrangements
  • Traveling sugar daddies with irregular schedules
  • Trial periods before committing to monthly allowances
  • Short-term arrangements

Common PPM Misconceptions

  • ❌ "PPM is just prostitution"
    PPM involves genuine companionship and relationship building
  • ❌ "PPM guarantees intimacy"
    Physical intimacy is never guaranteed in any sugar arrangement
  • ❌ "PPM is only for short-term"
    Many successful long-term relationships use PPM
  • ❌ "PPM is less respectful"
    PPM can be just as respectful as any other arrangement
