  You don’t need currency for it to be prostitution. Prostitution is exchanging sex for goods, services or currency.

  So if I paid in chickens then it’s not prostitution?

    Chickens would be the currency in this scenario.

      Chickens aren’t currency. Trade and currency are two different things.

        I’d counter that prostitution is sex work in exchange for something of value, and chickens still 100% qualify. I don’t think splitting hairs on currency vs. chickens changes anything here

  There are more forms of sex work than just prostitution, though. Porn, sex surrogacy, etc. People can find those rewarding outside monetary incentive.
