Do we really don’t have anything older before it that counts as a paid service/job being registered?

    I can’t answer that question, but I want to know why it’s called the oldest profession when sex work is still illegal in most of the world. A profession is usually a legal job. And sex workers should be legal everywhere as a human right.

      Profession doesn’t mean legal. It’s just as opposed to amateur. ie. You make enough money doing it for it to pay your cost of living.

      But yeah it definitely should be legal, regulated, and unionized
