Prostitution vs adultery

@Transformator Reformator, that phrase "consumeth unto a cake of bread" is a weird one that is somewhat ambiguous in the Hebrew - it could mean various things, so is rendered in different ways in different translations. The LXX however translates it less ambiguously, giving the meaning in the translation I used in the first post of this thread - that her fee is the price of a loaf of bread. This I find more logical than any other option, and also more likely to be correct given it is what the 70 scholars behind the LXX understood it to mean, and they knew Hebrew better than any modern scholar can hope to.
 
I wonder if there is a third category of a sexually deviant woman. The Proverbs 6:23-35 passage compares adulteress and prostitute. Is there category of a woman who is just promiscuous, without reducing a man to piece of bread (there was no money exchanged) and she is not attached to anyone as a wife.
The 3rd category points back to the man as the guilty party:

Exodus 22:16
16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to anyone and has sex with her, he must pay the customary bride price and marry her. 17 But if her father refuses to let him marry her, the man must still pay him an amount equal to the bride price of a virgin.

So a young man has a girlfriend in high school. She's a virgin. They have sexual relations. The man moves on, and does not wish to proceed to take her as his wife. Zero punishment in western christian civilization. Torah teaches that there should be a bride price he has to pay to her father (even if he decides he doesn't want her as his wife). If he can't afford the bride price, then he becomes a slave to pay off his debt (I guess you’re going to have to hold off on your plans for college). This is a sin that causes whoredom and wickedness in the land. What is she going to do? She will move on to another boyfriend. Then another. Until she gets married. And studies show women that have had several partners before marriage are way more likely to divorce their husband, and cause the husband nothing but stress and trouble. Why? Because if she decides to divorce him almost always the state will give the woman the children, the wealth from her husband, and child support payments (if they had children). This is wickedness. The children grow up without their father (the master of the house). Children that grow up without the father are more likely to be woke versus reborn with the spirit of truth.

Furthermore, the woman freely gave her body to strangers for nothing, but for her own husband she made him pay severely. This is also wickedness from the woman. But where did this sin originate? The girl's father has a part to play. Lack of a bride price for virgins has a part to play. The state laws have a part to play (any church that requires a state license for marriage is either ignorant of scripture or is controlled by a spirit that seeks to destroy marriage). And of course, the man that took her virginity. "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6. They have rejected the perfect torah of Elohim (Psalm 19:7) in favor of the righteousness of the world. This is why western civilization is ripe for judgement for their wickedness and pride. Deceptive spirits rule over the christian church - they teach it's wrong to be married - but fornication, homosexuality, divorce, and adultery are OKAY! Christ came for the sinners! Christ is love! But if a man has two wives he is demonic and worthy of ex-communication. Pure ignorance of the word points back to Hosea 4:6 - Judgement and Destruction. Anyone that has been with multiple sexual partners un-righteously - but judged a man that did it righteously through additional wives - will be judged accordingly.

Leviticus 19:29
Lamsa Bible
You shall not permit your daughter to become a whore, lest the land fall to whoredom and the land become full of wickedness.

Not that I know.

However, this is interesting:


How often did you heard for women to pay men for sex?
