It's the oldest profession for a reason. Everyone is selling their body just one gender can do it more directly more easily and with the Internet doesn't even have to do it with people interacting with their physical body anymore.
When times are rough, some fucker will still be horny.
Indeed, lots of men sell their bodies. They call them the trades because you trade your physical wellbeing for money.
LOL I like that. That's a pretty good slogan for a lot of the trades and yeah is often selling yourself just a little at a time.
God, I mean look up death clocks. Our lives certainly seem to be worth quite a lot. If you can sell your time quickly you cash out even faster.
it's not the oldest profession, if you're willing to exchange something for a resource, the actual first job is obtaining that resource.
Well, I think they weren't counting gathering/hunting for self-sustenance. It's like how other primates trade food for sex. Or the chimps that turned to prostitution as soon as they were introduced to symbolic money
Two things can be true
And the first resource was...
Food
Pretty sure you weren't born with food.
Maybe he's a cabbage patch kid?
They're certainly reasoning like a cabbage.
Omg I am dying lol
That's why it's someone's job to get it.
But you are using the human resource of labour to gather it. We use our bodies to produce all goods and services. I take your point, I just don't think most people consider basic survival tasks to be a profession. A profession is probably best considered to be the first abstraction layer that allows you to do an activity other than those basic tasks to survive.
You must realize: that all went completely over their leafy li'l green head.
Til Farmer is not a profession
TYL farmers aren't simple gatherers.
I'd argue the earliest humans probably traded sex for protection via having a partner, which isn't a resource or really a job anymore than "husband" would be considered a job.
i bet you're fun at parties.
the douchebags constantly spewing "prostitution is the oldest profession" at parties are a riot though, my god, the new ideas they bring to the table, wooo
"can do it more directly more easily".
Jep, I guess it's easy to work the most dangerous job you can have. That's why especially people in wealthy countries do it. Because it's direct easy money...
I think they were referring to selling pictures of themselves. I didn't really get the joke of OPs image at first, but from the context of the comments it's about selling feet pics lol
