'I date older men I don't fancy and make £3,000 a month thanks to the rules'

A woman earns £3,000 a month as a 'sugar baby' and says she does it by following six rules - including only having sex with older men she doesn't find attractive. Connie Keast, 36, stays in luxury hotels, enjoys expensive trips, has meals in top restaurants and is pampered with lavish gifts thanks to her well-off 'clients'.

The university graduate became a 'sugar baby' four years ago and now has around 65 men on her books - and roughly half are married. Connie details her life in the sex industry in a blog she writes from her home on a narrowboat in Bristol. A 'sugar baby' receives financial support, gifts, or other material benefits from an older, wealthier person - in exchange for companionship, intimacy, or other sexual services.

Connie says boundaries are necessary in her job and has compiled a list of six points of what to do and not to do. The guide includes being able to say no, being emotionally unavailable, having sex with older men she doesn't find attractive and enjoying having money.

Connie said: "It's great. I love it. I'm basically self-employed, so I get to choose who I work with, when I work, what I charge. From that point of view, it's very empowering. I eat a lot and drink a lot. I am always been taken out for something to eat or something to drink - so not so good for the waistline.

"I do have sex with men I find unattractive. I have a few drinks, which makes it easier. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I don't. Some men are good in bed, some are not."

Connie added: "I've met people that I wouldn't meet otherwise - people with lots of money. I've not had the money when I've been in a relationship to do those things. So it's just nice to to well treated."

She says her youngest is in his early 40s and the oldest is 77. Connie says the secret to being a successful sugar baby is not to fall in love with her clients. "Most of them are older than me anyway," she added.

"When you're involved with somebody in their 60s or 70s, I'm in my mid-30s, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with them anyway. I know it's never going to happen. I know it's not an option. Quite a few of men I'm involved with are married."

She explained how it is a "moral dilemma" to be involved with married men. She said: "I know that they are married and happily married. I know that's a bit of a contradiction if they've seen me for a long time, how are they happy married?

"They're just not having physical interactions with their wives. So that's why I come in. I was brought up to believe that married people have sex with each other and that to have sex outside of marriage is wrong. But that's a societal thing we've sort of made up - in other societies it is different.

"A man can love his wife and have a very good relationship with his wife, but also have sex with somebody else. I don't have sex with people that are my age that are married."

But she said that having sexual relationships with people around her age who are married with children is off the table for her. Connie added: "It could be quite damaging. But I think lots of older men in their 60s and 70s, they still have that desire, that need, which is not being fulfilled at home.''

Despite her fancy experiences and unusual job, Connie lives a humble life on a narrowboat. She said it is her "safe space" where she returns from a working weekend. And on her boat Connie writes her on her blog recounting her experiences as a sugar baby.

Connie recognises her job can be "dangerous" and "lonely". She said: "I've compromised having a relationship to do my job. There are times I get lonely, although I spend a lot of time with men and a lot of time out doing things. ''

Despite being happy with her job, she hopes to settle down one day and have a relationship.

Connie's six rules for being a sugar baby:

1) Enjoy meeting and getting to know people from different backgrounds

2) CaHave sex with men who you don't fancy, and more to the point, look like you're actually enjoying it

3) Be confident enough to get naked in front of someone you've just met and have sex with the light on. (Most men like to see what they're paying for).

4) Be sufficiently emotionally unavailable (If you're not sure, have you ever had a one-night stand and not remembered their name in the morning? If so then you're probably fine).

5) Say no and set boundaries. Alternatively, if you can't say no, are you prepared to do anything? (Because you'd better be).

6) Like money.
