[quote=Arraya][quote=briansd1]Prostitution is the world’s oldest profession. The secret agents who indulged are proof of it.
Sex has been used as a means to an end forever. Sex is a powerful incentive. You can use it to obtain power, money, secrets, etc…[/quote]
I remember seeing an old video of Chimpanzees(our closest relative)years back. A female chimp tried to take some food that was in the vicinity of a male. The male chimp sees this and goes to hit the female with a stick. The female quickly turns around and gets in “postition”. Which, of course, stopped the attack. That is core of “prostitution”.
Of course, shown through a cultural filter, financialized and glorified, it looks a little different. But, basically, the same dynamic[/quote]
We adult humans are responsible for where our dominance and submission tendencies take us as far as average prostitution transactions go.
