I don't think that's quite the clientele they would be catering for; its much more a case of sex DURING marriage.>>
I'm not sure how you'd get away with performing such a heinous sin on a regular basis in a small rural community, though. By abusing a bond which has been divinely instituted by the gods, I think you'd be letting yourself in for a lot of trouble - especially if you follow an aspect of one of those gods, as female entertainers apparently do...
<<Maybe this is just bad luck, but there is a historical strand in which women in entertainment are assumed to be prostitutes, sometimes legitimately. >>
Could be the case in the West, I'll grant you. Or in Dara Happa, come to that. It just doesn't sound Heortling though IMO.
