Je ne me rappelle plus du contexte, mais j'ai appris ce mot au secondaire (oui oui).
Favorite term for escorts?

Une Professionnelle / Professional Woman (Euro term). Makes sense for naming the "oldest profession". It is a respectful and accurate term rather than "escorts".

It's actually not the oldest profession! I like "working girl"
Well that's a complicated question to answer. First of all people had specialized roles. We knew some were fishing and hunting and some were gathering plants.. then people became specialized in craftsmanship and some had a spiritual role in the community. Some were builders, etc.oooh what is the oldest profession?
In order for people to engage in prostitution you'd have to already have a type of economy similar to the one we have now. Not capitalism yet but a political and economic system that fosters inequality.
From what I gather in the ancient world there were women who offered "sacred sexual rites" in temples, but there were also women who were secular and basically doing what we do now, sans the internet. Many of them were slaves.
