In the scenarios you gave, guardsmen and fishermen would then be professions preceding prostitution. So, if you want to nitpick over words, just eliminate "monetary value" from my post (substitute it with "goods and services of value" if you want); it still holds true in your examples.
Basically, an economy must be pre-existing for prostitution to occur. An economy thrives on professions that precede prositution.

I see where you are coming from but I was thinking that I am just a guy who fishes to feed myself... not to sell at the market, or just a big guy that can offer protection from the elements or other people (rather than a professional guardsman).
I was thinking of people in the distant past (i.e. when we lived in caves and not in cities). I am suggesting a period prior to the concept of economy.
