I think there should be a very good reason to have temple prostitution. Traditionally I suspect it was a way for families to get rid of unwanted girls, who would be then taken into these temples. In Thailand still, northern fmilies in the poorer areas of Thailand would send their children to work as prostitutes to send money to the family, and maybe meet a nice man in the process.In Finland at least, a prostitute on average costs 40 to 60 euros, while an escort costs 200 euro. I am not a prostitute but I work occasionally as an escort. But back to the discussion: What is the function of temple prostitutes in the society. Do they bestow the temple blessing on the man? How exactly are they chosen? Do the women line up and the men choose who is to be their choise for the night? Does the men line up and the women choose their partner for the night? What is the position of a temple prositute? Are they unclean creatures that are punished through sex or are they divine concubines which have a very strong influence upon the society?Is fertility an important aspect of the game world. Or are they all hunter gatherers. Are women rare? Is fertile males rare? Is sex a natural portion of a persons life or is it an unnatural act (like modern religions forbid sex outside of marriage)?Is every woman expect to serve for say a year in a temple? Is it expected of men as a right of passage to sleep with a temple prositute? Does sleeping with a temple prostitute constitute a way on bestowing divine favors upon a person (like a farmer needs to get fertile fields, so he goes to the temple prays and pays for the prostitute so he may get a richer harvest)?</blockquote>
