I too would exchange shiny discs for sex.

So go do it, nobody's stopping you.

Still doesn't really change the fact that it wouldn't have existed as a "profession" until we'd invented the barter system, at least. And if we want to get technical, people had jobs before we unlocked "Barter" on the tech tree, so the ancient trope of calling it the oldest profession might even be incorrect anyway.

You're not doing a job unless it's for someone else and we aren't doing things for people unless it gets us something. Turns out men could hunt better than women and all creatures recognise sex as a commodity so that disparity is closed up as soon as we needed to eat.
