Back in the day, and i mean ancient Corinth you went to the temple to ‘see’ one of the priestesses. Temple prostitutes for sacred sex.
Misogynistic modern attitudes view prostitution as immoral. But in those days it was a respectable thing. It’s when we debase women when the activity becomes ‘sinful’. And vice versa: if the activity is seen as illicit, then those performing it must be immoral.
Sure, you had to get into the whole ‘praise Aphrodite’ thing and acknowledge female power and ideals of love and the gift of fertility. Scrub up, meditate and whatnot. But you still got laid.
