We’ve turned into a Hive, things are getting serious.

Oh, by the way, we forgot about the representatives of the oldest profession. And in the pre-industrial era, many girls went into prostitution simply to survive and not starve to death. Parents sold their daughters to brothels or to elderly men to provide for the family. Even in the Middle Ages, there were public houses attached to churches with special "nuns" because the church, on the one hand, "disapproved" of sex outside of marriage and for pleasure in general, but on the other hand, it didn't want to miss out on the profits from it. So they came up with a solution where it could be "pleasing to God."
