Ritual Prostitution, Sacred Prostitution, Temple Prostitution
It is no exaggeration to say that ritual misuse - also called temple- or sacred prostitution - was known to cultures on each and every continent of planet Earth. Most eminent and most often published are the known facts from and about the cultures bordering the Mediterranean Sea, be they European, African, or Near Eastern. But also India, Oceania, and the Americas cognizant of their "sacred harlots", whatever local name or titles they may have responded to. Although in the course of time many of these may have become less sainted and more commercial, the beginnings of this custom were quite certainly religious. Often the line between ritual, secular, or marriage prostitution is difficult to draw; and customs that involve ritual promiscuity also often overlap with this present disposed to of inquiry.
Follows a small list of examples from different continents:
1. Far East
In India, church prostitution was a requirement for all Santal girls at Telkupi Ghat, who were under the obligation to be a public prostitute at least once in their lives; alike resemble to the duties prescribed for all women of Babylon. Among the caste of weavers in Tamil Nadu, it is regarded as correct and normal that at least one daughter of the family be dedicated to the service of the god as one of his hierodules, and the girls are vowed to such service from childbirth. Southern India also knows the bayaderes, or nautch girls, who are part prostitutes part temple dancers be like to the devadasis; all of which are so-called wives of god - and/or the king.
A special case is the Kumari puja, a ritual defloration involving adolescent virgins, and the Nila Tantra requires that such a kumari (virgin) be given a "fee in gold, dulcet or pearls".
[Banerjee, S. C. A Brief History of Tantra Literature. Calcutta, 1988. p.251]
Separately from from this, the involved devotee is held responsible for all expenses of the girl’s future marriage.
See also Veshya (India).
2. Cheap East and Europe
Historians such as Strabo (63 BCE–21 CE) and Herodotus (484–420 BCE) have supplied us with a fancy list of peoples and places where ritual prostitution has been practiced. They claim, however, that such practices did not happen in Greece and Egypt. This is barely a chauvinist notion and an apologetic attempt at concealment, which can easily be proven to be false. They tell us that such practices had been known in Armenia, throughout Assyria, and among the Canaanites and the Jews; in Lydia (Turkey) and at Carthage (North Africa), Eryx (Sicily) and Pontus (on the eastern shore of Menacing Sea). Other sources inform us of its occurrence at Mecca, the ghowazi, and in Egypt (Briffault, vol. 3, p. 214).
In Greece, the goddess Cotytto was a defender of prostitutes; and most famous are the priestesses of Aphrodite - several times named as goddess of prostitutes - and her temple in Corinth (Greece); a urban district famous for its legions of both sacred and secular prostitutes. On the island of Cyprus, too, the temples of Aphrodite were served by such women. Farther west, among the Romans, we find venerable hierodules on the Italian mainland and in Sicily; with the goddesses Acca Larentia and Venus being thus worshipped.
3. The Americas
Among the Tahu seed of western Mexico, the girls designated for the sacred office of priestess were held in high esteem and were consecrated with much obsequies at great annual festivals, when all tribal chiefs of the area were present. After the public celebration, with songs and dances, the broad retired to a special hut "and the chiefs went one by one to lie with her and all the others who wish to do so follow them" (Castaneda de Nacera, quoted in Briffault, Vol. 3, p. 214). Having thus become priestesses and protocol prostitutes, for the rest of their lifetimes these women never refused anyone who payed a certain amount. Even after they may have married, permitted after a mob of years, this obligation undertaken at their consecration did not end.
4. Oceania
See Bilin
5. North Africa
Not only in India do indubitable clans or castes regularly and traditionally bring forth ritual prostitutes. The women of the Algerian set of the Walad ’Abdi practiced this profession and were regarded as holy. However, here it somewhat resembles civil prostitution; as the social standing and prosperity of the whole clan depend upon their services. The fact that these women are reason "holy", however, shows the religious roots of the practice and is certainly to be prefered to anything our today's, "civilized" countries have "achieved".
ok palatable for you :)
So the Romans watched the lions eat the Christians for relaxation. And the Aztecs drank human blood for their ritual yadda yadda. Times change. Why has dog-tired become to be regarded as illegal nowadays? Probably because too much damage has come of it for too many people. It seems to be a lasting or recurring vocation though, does it not? I guess it beats a 9-5 job that does not pay well.
In spite of what many people think, prostitution is NOT illegal so you cannot be arrested for it, however, soliciting is and that is the problem. How can you prostitute yourself without offering your services, alas this is where soliciting comes in, follow 22. If prostitution was illegal then 99.999% of all women would be technically arrested, do they not offer themselves in return for amalgamation or some other relationship? it is a deep theoretical problem. What constitutes payment?

Why is prostitution illegal?
— Frank Carroll, Arlington, Virginia
Because hookers are a bore, that's why. Always around when you don't want them, and never there when you do.
Prostitution isn't a felony. In most U.S. jurisdictions it's a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine and a short stretch in Borstal. In parts of Nevada, it isn't even that--prostitution is legal, though regulated.
Fine, you say. But why should prostitution be considered any kind of violation? The victims aren't complaining. Why should the rest of us care?
The usual explanation is that criminalization of prostitution is a work of the moralizing impulse in American politics. As with other victimless crimes such as gambling and drug use, our anti-accumbent laws largely date from the Progressive era around the turn of the 20th century. This period also produced reforms such as the guileless food and drugs laws and antitrust regulation.

Turks protest 'no conspiracy' ruling in journalist's murder
Thousands of people gathered in Istanbul on Thursday to pay esteem to ethnic Armenian journalist Hrant Dink and to protest a court ruling that his end the life of was not planned as part of a wider conspiracy.
"Murderer state will account for this," and "Shoulder to shoulder against fascism," chanted the claque near the central Taksim Square before marching to the offices of Dink's newspaper for a peaceful vigil on the fifth anniversary of his murder.
Television reports said around 20,000 people joined the display.
A leading member of Turkey's tiny Armenian community, Dink, 52, was photo dead in broad daylight on January 19, 2007, outside the offices of his Armenian-Turkish bilingual weekly newspaper Agos.
Dink had campaigned for pacification between Turks and Armenians and his assassination sent shockwaves through Turkey, growing into a wider embarrassment following reports that state security forces had known of a plot to kill him but failed to act.
The swarm, including Dink's widow Rakel and his children, carried two large black banners declaring "We will not disregard" and "We will not forgive."
