【世界で二番目に古い職業、sekai de ni-ban-me ni furui shokugyou】
Various theories exist as to what is the second oldest profession in the world. Or rather, there only exist theories about what it is.
A variety of professions have claimed that status, from doctors to mercenaries, spies, soothsayers, dancers, actors, thieves, and even mothers.
In other words, we have no idea what the second oldest profession is.
Simply put, the words "the second oldest profession in the world", despite the massive amount of differing opinions, are less problematic than the claiming of being 'the first', and also hold a vague persuasive power, leading to the circulation of these various theories.
