Suppose you need to register at university and you’re short of tuition fees and your family can’t help and you can’t get an educational loan.
Then you meet an older man or woman who expresses sexual interest in you while also making it clear that he/she will support you by paying your tuition, buying you books and giving you an allowance.
What would you do?
This is a dilemma that some of the young men and women who are involved in transactional sexual relationships have to face.
Also, what can we do to help our young people so that they do not have to choose transactional relationships to survive or as a way to get ahead in life?
Watch Second Chances
If you haven’t watched Second Chances yet, don’t miss it. This short film deals with the issue of transactional relationships, and was developed as part of the Love- Stories in a time of HIV & AIDS series.

As a man, maybe if I was at the age where I was in the position of having to go to school and with all those odds stacked against me…I would NOT say no to a sugar mama wanting to spend her cash on me.
I get to hit that and she’s paying me? Hell yeah.
But I wouldn’t want my sister to have a sugar daddy just so she could go to school. That’s just how I feel. It’s ok for me to be a ho cause I’m a man but not for my sister or any young lady with self respect.
Am I saying that I don’t have respect for myself? I’m just saying that the lady who’s paying me for sex is the one who doesn’t respect herself.
@ Rihanna’s boyfriend – Your view is very interesting, in that, it reflects the double standard that we as a society practice. When an older woman propositions a young man/boy, the general belief is she’s going to “get lucky,” and obviously, her giving him money and other material benefits is icing on the cake, whereas when an older man propositions a younger woman, he’s just a dirty old man.
The problem is that usually, the boy is just as powerless as the young woman in intergenerational relationships. And ideally, both should be protected equally.
And yeah, I know we’re not in that ideal world yet. But it’s something to build towards, yeah?
