The World's Best Profession

[sirhugs]

As regular visitors know, sometimes I have a title or opening line pop into my head, and post it here trying for catharsis.
Thus the title of this thread.
Obviously, is a play off the "world's oldest profession" and picked apart from my comment in another thread that the world's oldest profession ain't the world's best.
but what if it is? Either in an alternate society, or just to the FMC?

I would think that a profession that allows a person to be exactly who they want to be, the best profession. And there's a lot of ways to examine that, but since this is Lit, we'll keep it sexual and a job where the MC can be as promiscuous as they want to be while on the job would be the best. If that means it's a stay-at-home parent who's working as a prostitute or is just a slut, or a secretary whose job it is to take care of their boss and their clients, and those could be a man or woman.

I think a male secretary to someone like the MC from Devil Wears Prada would be super hot.

I think to make it amusing. Have it be a job that on the surface wouldn’t seem great but the context makes it great to the MC.

For example: chef for a small cafeteria.

The context: Cafeteria is at a Brothel. The owners wanted the talent to not depend on takeout and wanted to come up with a service that they could squeeze a few bucks out of the clients on…what they did not expect was a chef to apply who has no qualms about working at a brothel, who knows how to keep the inspectors happy, and whose food is so good that sometimes they can attract bigger names in the AV industry to make a stop there. For MC they love getting to see the smiles on their clients faces and sometimes they get to indulge a bit with the clients

.... as all the relies miss the whole point of my OP and veer off into left field...welcome to Story Ideas.

my point was to suggest that prostitution, as discussed in other threads, could be viewed as the world's best profession(veering off from the explotive reality) and that might lead to some interesting "from the happy hooker's POV" variants. none of which are clear in my foggy brain this morning before coffee.

For a well adjusted mature woman with no dependences like drugs or debt or controlling male influence to make the decision to work the oldest profession will definitely discover that it is indeed the worlds best profession. I have seen this, I have witnessed a women come out of her shell, take control and flourish.

Sheltered FMC has always abhorred prostitution. It is bad, obviously, to take money or favours for sex. Sex is precious and should only be shared with loved ones. Not only that, the woman sell power over them. They give away agency and bring women overall down.

She does at times sleep with random people, but only out of necessity. A single woman still has cravings. An evil you can't escape.

Her friend doesn't have such qualms though. She admits to FMC that she's done some work for an escort agency. To FMC her surprise, her friend likes it. She comes with arguments like "if I need to get laid, why not earn more money in a single night than she would earn slaving away for a month in a kitchen? She gets to dress up, go to parties, have interesting conversations, free food and drinks, and full control over the bedroom and beyond. He's called her a whore in his excitement? Give him a warning. He does something she doesn't like again? She can walk away and get full pay. The men are vetted, checked for disease and generally respectful as they know the rules.

This starts to eat at FMC. She sleeps again with a rando. Though he's not bad, he's not the most respectful either. After the sex she still has to work to make ends meet that month. If it is a necessary evil, why not earn on it? Why not get the power and safety of an escort agency behind you? Why not get expensive dinners etc. paid for you?

does this plot have a point?

does this plot have a point?

I thought it was about it being the best profession? If done right, it pays well, gives power to the prostitute/escort, while getting all kinds of things in return. Nice evenings with dinner, parties, good conversation, all bought and paid for, while also satisfying their sexual cravings.

If you want a point I would go for the power she wields. She thought it was a powerless position, their only value having been bought and paid for, without any agency as soon as the transaction is complete.

Now she ventures into a wide world as a high end escort, where even the most powerful people will follow her whims, just for the chance she'll let them sleep with her. She might use or abuse it, like making politicians or stakeholders vote in a certain way, or simply deny them her body.
