The oldest profession is prostitution. You can find references to it in ancient greek writings, for example.

They had other professions too. It does not proof it is the oldest one.

What's your total compensation? How much do you spend monthly on your sugar partner?
$3k-7k per month. There was one exception at $10k/month but that involved threesomes.
Have you ever thought of working remote and going to a cheaper country and going Genghis Khan style on whores ?

#74FWIW, this is rampant in many parts of Asia, too, with a similar discrepancy between traditional culture (Confucianism in China, Catholicism in the Philippines, Buddhism in Thailand, Islam in Indonesia, ...) and today's realities. Several young women maintain several distinct social media identities: one for family, one for friends, one for "daddies".
It might not be that much strong discrepancy. Although traditional culture is against sex before marriage, it prescribes strong gender roles. Male is supposed to earn money and pay things, women is supposed to be nice, gentle and provide nice feelings to him.
If the parts about lifelong commitment and no sex before marriage fails, but other gender conditioning remains, the various sugar daddies etc are logical/natural consequence.

#76I am an outsider to some extent but it's interesting observing a repeat of the so-called "feminist sex wars" here in Africa. One argument is that if the society was more equal economically across gendered lines, then there would be no need for this kind of sex work. This is often used as an argument against sex work in the west as well, but I'm guessing the level of wealth inequality, and not just across gendered lin…
Don't you think with economic equality, 80% of females will go to top 10% of males (for free) ? While now at least they pay.
That's not what we see in the Nordic countries .

Are you saying 80% or more of women don't want monogamous relationships?

They will go for several rides with beautiful/wealthy men until they settle down for a normal joe full of resentment.

If I remember correctly 23% of norwegian males under 40 are childless while only 13% of females are childless.
And that is for having children; I'm sure in the "casual dating"/monopolising the most fertile/attractive years of women the top males have it much better.
