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

Oh, by the way. We also 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. Parents sold their daughters to brothels or to elderly men so that the family would have something to live on. Even in the Middle Ages, there were public houses attached to churches with special "nuns," because the church, on the one hand, "did not approve" of sex outside of marriage and for pleasure in general, but on the other hand, it didn't want to miss out on the benefits of this business. So they came up with a solution where it could be "pleasing to God."
