Whole sub-genre of soft core porn devoted to Plain Jane. All Jane has to do is look for an older man. All women seem to get better looking the older I get. She could be someone’s Sugar Baby.
Older Rich Guy: I’m looking for a Sugar Baby relationship. Are you open to that?
Naive Plain Jane: Well, I’ve got some Strawberry Fruit Rollups you can have.
Alas, Dave, Strawberry Fruit Rollups are no substitute for Sugar Babies—or any other candy. And definitely no sub for sex!!!
