If its the oldest profession, how'd they get paid/reimbursed?
Whoever paid them had the oldest profession in the world. : /

I don't really know. I just always see how it's referred to be such.
Maybe it has changed the least?

They were often paid with food or shelter, I guess.
What do they call people who pay prostitutes? Prostituters?
But you know all kinds of people pay prostitutes, so yeah...

i'm half and half on the matter. while it's true it's up to the individual to chose what they want to do with there body and what not. but there's an extreme amount of danger involved with prostitution. one being the vulnerability of the women who's doing the deed. despite all that's associated with it, prostitution is an extremely trusting thing to do. a lot of the prostitutes have to go on blind trust of their customers. and sometimes more often then not they tend to get raped as well, especially considering they're much more easy targets for such considering it's their "profession". second issue about it is the diseases that could be contracted from so many partners. i know people say simple things like it's not good cause of some religion saying it's wrong, but when you think about it, it's there was a reason why it was made to be looked down upon by such a thing. STDs are no joking matter and some of them are fatally serious. (Magic Johnson anyone?) i know the simple solution is use a condom, but do you really think a lot of people out there are smart enough to even want too? a lot of guys complain about no feeling from them and give up on the idea, stupid but it's true. then there's also the consideration of how most of them are taken advantage of when it comes to money as well. for a so called "profession" you don't often find many that actually have a handle of their money, and live well. then there's also the matter of their own personal relationships, i know it's cheesy to say sex is sacred, especially in this day and age. but when you think about it, it's very off putting knowing your partner has had so many sex partners that they wouldn't even remember most of them. (and it really works both ways actually, girls don't like guys who've slept around so much either). plus it adds onto the psychological aspect of the people related to the said person in the "profession". it's a hard thing to live with knowing someone who is important to you sleeps with people they don't know so easily, and for the prospect of money.
while i say that it's also like stated earlier up to the person to choose what they want to do with their body, after all it is their body. if that person is ready and willing to do some acts for the money, then by all means do what they have to do. after all some people do have to do some dirty jobs to get by after all, life isn't easy.

better? tl;dr basically i'm saying it's something to risky to say it's worth calling a profession, since there's pretty much little to no benefits aside from sex.

Using capital letters and leaving empty lines instead of just writing in the new one helps. Much nicer to read the text that way, when there's so much text.
Benefits would be money. If you're forced to do it (a sex slave), then pretty much all you get is a little food and shelter to keep you alive, and the sex definitely wouldn't be something to enjoy.
If it's something you do for work however, it can definitely be considered a profession.

well i'm not really a fan of going that far to using capital letters. 😛 i'm lazy,so you just have to bare with it.
but like i pointed out as one of the reasons earlier, the benefits from the money aspect aren't that great. prostitutes don't handle money that well for a majority of them. a good amount of them are under "employ" of pimps or such. considering the amount of risk involved, aside from being raped they're liable to be robbed too. in the end there is little to no benefits whatsoever.
it can't really be considered a profession. with the amount of risk involved in so many levels, and with little gain to come from it.

I voted in favor of legalizing prostitution. If it can become a government sanctioned business, then there will be protacols and regulations inforced for general public safety. Clientele will need to be medically screened before they can be considered mentally and physically sound by their NPA(national prostitute organization). A similar process will be conducted before potential enlistees can enter the this workforce...mind you, the minimal wage is nothing to sneeze at.

well it is a sensible option concerning the risks of prostitution. but even if rules and regulations are involved it seems to only go so far as dealing with STDs at the most. i don't know how well it can deal with the prostitutes safety in terms of vulnerability during the intercourse. despite what we may think, a lot of people don't understand the meaning of no. so a lot of problems can go wrong with the process. i know a simple answer would be to have it monitored for safety reasons. but then comes the issue of privacy for the clients. and also the possibility of corruption and abuse of such things too.
even if legalized there are still to many problems to be weeded out before going along with it.

What risks? It's not even illegal if you're not getting paid directly for the sex. And there's alot risks in stock markets. And something having risks and even being illegal doesn't mean it can't be a profession. And what do you keep talking about "little gain to come from it"? Money! That's why people do it. What can you "gain from it" that you consider worth enough for working for it?
Use capital letter or die trying!

i've stated the heavy risks involved with prostitution already. it's not sanctioned safe profession these reasons:
- the high possibility of rape for the prostitute. the clients don't always listen and go to far, then what they paid for. which is why i stated prostitution is overly trusting.
- aside from the rape, they are prone to be robbed easily too. if not by the clients, then by their handlers i.e. pimps.
- the case of STD outbreaks caused by either them or the clients. not everyone is wise enough to want to use a condom. and considering the amount of partners involved in such a trade, it could be very disastrous.
- personal relationships would also be affected by it, making living a normal life pretty much difficult.
the list could go on. those are what i've been saying about the risks. the money is not really equal to the amount of danger present for such a thing. that's why i say there's little to gain from it. money can never payoff the amount of trauma and damages inflicted by this "profession".

What are you, some prostitution speacialist? And you changed the "profession" to "safe profession". No one said there's no risks, but that doesn't mean it can't be a profession, safe or not.
