In the end they get more than if they were getting a daily fee, the feeling of being "loved" plays with hearts and wallets... and in the end, they end up with gifts, trips, great restaurants and in the end, doing less work (sex). Yup. I believe it's called throwing a sprat to catch a mackerel. A very old fishing tactic. floridarob 1 Quote

It started out innocently enough without any request for money, but eventually that did come up. I do not know if he could be called a 'money boy', but hindsight makes me think it is at least a side hustle. Why not? Because he allegedly has a job in a bank? The only difference is that you would have paid him by the month, not by the day. Alternatively, I'm sure he would have agreed to a weekly stipend too. vinapu 1 Quote
