这项研究试图探索关于糖妈行为的发生、可接受性以及年长女性和年轻男性进入糖妈关系的感知原因。对来自南非九个省的11个不同重点群体的135名参与者进行了探索性的定性研究，包括年龄、性别(女性=27%)和地理类型。通过焦点小组访谈，收集了参与者对糖妈实践的看法、意见和经验的数据。对数据进行了主题分析。研究发现，糖妈的习俗在南非很普遍。可接受性的感知原因是：爱、生存和正确性。老年女性与年轻男性发生性关系的公认原因包括：性满足、支配地位、减轻压力、身体吸引力、生育、缺乏自控力、年轻感觉、移民、难以找到相称年龄的伴侣以及年轻男性被视为要求不高。年轻男性与老年女性发生性关系的可感知原因包括：物质收益、减轻压力、被引诱、被年龄相称的女性拒绝、同龄人的影响以及认为老年女性更纯洁的信念。鉴于糖妈做法的增加，这可能对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行产生重大影响，有必要了解对这些做法的基本看法，以便制定具有文化相关性和社会可接受的干预方案。
The study sought to explore sugar mommy practices regarding their occurrence, acceptability as well as perceived reasons why older women and younger men enter into sugar mommy relationships. An exploratory qualitative study involving 135 participants from 11 diverse focus groups in terms of age, gender (females=27%) and geotype throughout the nine South African provinces was conducted. Data on the participants' views, opinions and experiences of sugar mommy practices were collected using focus group interviews. The data were thematically analyzed. The study found that sugar mommy practices were prevalent in South Africa. The perceived reasons for acceptability were: love, survival, and correctness. Perceived reasons why older women have sexual relationships with younger men included: sexual fulfilment, domination, reduction of stress, physical attraction, procreation, lack of self-control, youthful feeling, migrancy, difficulty in finding partners of compatible age and young men being seen as not demanding. Perceived reasons why younger men have sexual relationships with older women included: material gain, reduction of stress, being enticed, rejection by women of compatible age, peer influence and belief that older women are purer. Given the increase in sugar mommy practices, which may have significant implications for the prevalence of HIV/AIDS, it is necessary to understand the underlying perceptions of these practices, in order to develop culturally relevant and socially acceptable intervention programmes.
