    So that just means one of the first things someone did with their grain surplus was use it to get laid. I don't see this as a positive.

        You are saying it is necessary labor. I have just shown that agriculture, organized civilization and a relatively sendentary life is a pre requisite to sex work. This, it isn't necessary labor because civilization has to exist already for it to be a thing. If the currency of the time is grain as it was and the rich had a surplus then the oldest profession probably came from women having sex with a rich dude so she can eat. Just cause something is relatively old doesn't mean it's good.
