What is transactional sex, and what makes it different from prostitution?
The need for material support, and the availability of sex as a way to meet this need, often influences the sexual behaviour of women.
Though some offer sex to men to support themselves and their families, there are those who do it mainly to improve their current lifestyles.
Transactional sex is when money or gifts are exchanged for a sexual relationship. The gifts can be cash, handbags or even trips. Often, things such as rent, phones and airtime/ cellphone contracts, groceries and clothing are thrown in as incentives for transactional relationships.
The distinction between prostitution and transactional sex is that there is no predetermined amount for the latter, and transactional sex is often framed in the form of an actual relationship.
It lasts longer than the relationship between a prostitute and a client, and is not always driven by poverty.
While the exchange of money for the services of a prostitute is illegal in South Africa, transactional sexual relationships are not.
These relationships can be a concern when it comes to sexually transmitted infections because the partners are very rarely faithful to each other. This is especially true when the relationship involves an age, power and money gap, usually to the disadvantage of younger women.
It is not uncommon for a richer male partner to refuse to use condoms, and he may also have multiple partners. The woman may feel compelled to do whatever her partner asks so she doesn’t risk losing her economic benefits.
This puts everyone involved at high risk of contracting and spreading HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, as well as risking unplanned pregnancy. This makes it important to consider female economic empowerment in HIV-reduction policies.
These relationships are said to be prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, where black women are more likely to enter into transactional relationships.
Though some are motivated by the woman’s lack of socioeconomic resources (in poor societies, sex is sometimes the only currency of exchange for women), increasingly they are driven by consumerism.
The most common perception of transactional sexual relationships is that it happens between young women in their twenties and older men, often referred to as sugar daddies.
Although this is indeed common, the relationships are not always intergenerational. Women of all ages and social statuses take part in transactional sexual relationships – and the only difference may be in the nature of the goods or the amounts of money received for the sex.
Is there a difference between having a sugar daddy and being a prostitute?

Big date, wedding, or sport event about to coincide with your period? You might be able to delay the inevitable…
We all know what a drag periods can be. Even with the help of modern sanitary products which are largely effective and comfortable (for those who can afford them, at least) your period can sometimes be a real inconvenience.
We’ve written about the impact of menstruation on athletes, but there are many everyday situations where we’d rather not want to deal with uterine blood.
Maybe you have a beach holiday coming up and you don’t want to worry about tampon strings or – like my sister did for years – shark attacks.
Maybe you are about to get married and you don’t want to have a second-day-of-your-period-bloat or an ‘I’m filled to the gills with ibuprofen’ daze in your eyes immortalised in your wedding pics.
Or maybe you have a hot date coming up and you’re just not ready to have the period sex talk yet.
Don’t sweat it. There are ways (although not always foolproof) to tame the Beast In Your Womb.
We speak to Cape Town gynaecologist, Naseema Barday on controlling your period.
Manipulating the onset of your period
“My preferred first choice if we plan properly ahead, is to either bring a period on earlier or later by stopping or delaying active pills of OCP (combined oral contraceptive pill) to shift the phase,” says Dr Barday.
“You can then avoid the period on a particular weekend, or date range. But better, even, is to make this adjustment during the pack before the month of interest, just to accommodate for failures in your plan, since any breakthrough bleeding in your adjustment month is often smoothed out during the following pack.”
Which is a perfect option if you know about an upcoming event way in advance. But what if you’re not on the Pill? Dr. Barday explains:
“One can use progesterone (the other main female hormone that helps to regulate your cycle) to bring on a period at a planned time, alternately, like just before a trip overseas, in women not otherwise on the OCP.
This is because upon completion of a course of progesterone, a period will have been induced. Having just finished a period before a special time, one is usually bleed free for another menstrual cycle of a few weeks, as it kind of resets the menstrual clock.”
Nifty eh? So instead of trying to delay your period, you can actually make it come faster, so that you can get it over and done with!
But what if you suffer from very heavy periods which interfere with your life in general? Is there any sort of recourse except for grinning and bearing it? Well yes, according to Dr Barday.
Ways to minimise bleeding and lighten your flow
“Implanon and Mirena won’t suffice as delay options for occasional events, but they are options for less frequent bleeding on the whole. Mirena has a higher incidence of amenorrhea (no periods at all), and Implanon has amenorrhea in about 25-30% of cases.
“But remember that until your body has adjusted to a new device, you may bleed for several weeks, up to 8 or even 10, before your body settles and does what the manufacturers sell it as doing.”
I don’t know about you, but a 10 week period sounds like some sort of fresh hell to me.
So don’t think you’re going to use this as a quick fix – it might just have the opposite effect! And of course, neither are foolproof. Dr Barday continues with the following precautions:
“The potential for bleeding problems in the long term exists with both these options, though, especially the Implanon - in which my impression is that the incidence of prolonged/heavy bleeding is somewhat higher than the manufacturers suggest.
Yet both are great options for many women who desire fewer periods and lighter bleeding. The problem is that you don't know how you'll respond untill you try it.
I've seen two sisters respond completely differently for example, with one loving it and the other
Most women end up heartbroken because they were trying to convince the wrong man to be in a relationship/ marriage.
The signs are always there but we just choose to ignore them. It is almost the end of the year and maybe one of your resolutions was settling down or be serious with your relations but your man is still playing. Are you sure he is the one for you?
Let us see if you need to leave him
The confirmed bachelor
You wanted to date mature men because obviously you do not want to be given the run around by these young guys. But your confirmed bachelor is looking too comfortable with the state of your relationship. He is 40, but shouldn’t he want to settle down? Maybe that is what was never in his plans which you need to have found out. People make decisions way long before they meet you. So you are there thinking maybe he will eventually, the man is not going to. You might just need to move on.
Career driven guy
One of the things you might have actually liked about him. He was focused, he knew where he wanted to go, he has vision. Not like this other ones who look like they do not have a purpose. You like this relationship because this is the type of man you want to raise kids. Until time is passing by, your friends have settled and yours is not thinking marriage.
We talk about career driven women, what about the men? There are men until they reach where they have set a target to go, family will not be a priority. A wife will be the last thing on his mind. So if your vision is now, you might have to look for it elsewhere. Risky- if you wait and he tells you eventually, he does not think of you as a wife.
The one who is not done with the women
If you are dating and he is still dating around, just know, chances are that this man will not for anything serious with you. Someone who does, normally drops all of them for you. But someone who has let you know he is still seeing other people- he is not done!
Finding himself
Don’t dare even try help a man find himself. Let him do that on his own. You will get the shocker of your life when you try giving a man direction. You will be the ‘mum’ that gets dumped.
