I'm sure there are lots of articles about sugar dynamics and how they can be problematic. It's an adjacent but separate issue that is far too complex to get into in this article. Sex work is a hard thing to talk about with nuance; even when sex work is "consensual", the economic and social pressures make that consent hazy, without accounting for age gaps. But like I say in the article: the person predating on teenagers needs to take accountability, not the person whose brain is still developing, when the dynamic is a grown adult with someone significantly younger or more vulnerable.
