So, sex is as old as mankind, but we didnt invent favors till 2 AD… so, nope… they couldnt pay favors with sex.
Comment on Why is prostitution called sometimes world's oldest profession?

I liked the analysis in HIMYM. It can’t possibly be the world’s oldest profession, because in order to exchange something of value for sex, you have to have obtained something of value. Like say this hypothetical first ever prostitute was exchanging blowjobs for berries, then berry gatherer was actually the first profession.

Unless the offer was a blowjob for him to go get the berries.

Arguably, her giving the blowjob meant she got the berries

The berry purchaser is the real job creator.
