In ancient Greece (and undoubtedly before that), priestesses of the Temple of Venus would perform rituals to assist men with their worship of Venus. It was the custom for them to make a donation to the temple in gratitude. I have always heard it was the oldest profession, and I'm sure this is true.
The reason for it is obvious enough: men with need and money, women who can fulfill that need and use the money.

Prostitution goes back when men and women existed in this planet, the reason for this profession was because of buy, sell and trade. In other words, this was the first early economic resolution for money, trade-ins, offers, and pleasure.

if men overall have more money than women do, many men will choose to pay women for sex (instead of going to the trouble of forming a friendship).
on the rarer occasions when women have more money, women do the same thing (look into the relations between patrician women and gladiators in republican and imperial rome).
people like sex, and will pay for it if that seems the easiest way of getting it to them.
where there is a market a supply will be found.
