If you define profession as "exchange of money for services" -- then the banking profession would have to pre-exist prostitution, since bankers invented money. If you consider the more general "barter for services", then, according to wikipedia "midwifery" probably pre-exists prostitution as a service, as would some other medical services. In ancient times, some sexual practices were performed in temples. By present day values these would be considered prostitution. Temples have religious leaders, so religious leaders must have existed before temple prostitutes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution re: Wikipedia source > wikipedia is a public source...anyone can submit an article This does not make Wikipedia a less reliable source than a private source. The public source is edited by volunteers, a private source is edited for it's revenue base.

It could be , but you would have to include religion as a possibility. Someone way back used tall tales to keep the ignorant masses controlled. Religion has continued and expanded it's control over larger and larger populations. You might by this point have millions upon millions of prostitutes , but the million and millions of religious workers have an entire planet of gullable customers at their disposal now. The usual male dominated religious groups are truly the biggest flim flam from day one and the mastery of their deceptions and powers to brainwash an entire planet has to be considered the oldest and biggest business or scam of all time.
