First Temple Brothel
The difference between a public and temple brothel is that in the latter men arrive not just to frolic but also to cleanse the soul, and all income generated is handed over to the priests for temple maintenance. And what do the women get out of it? Well, free room and board, free meals, and, I suppose, that special pride you feel when you know you're serving a higher purpose. The first recorded instance of such a temple occurred in 2300 BC in Mesopotamia , and from there the practice spread to the surrounding regions.
Temple Brothel
There were two types of brothels: public and temple. The first temple bordello was created in 2300 BC in Mesopotamia , it was the building where men could not only have a good time and satisfy their wishes but also cleanse their soul from sins. Everything they paid was given to the priests for temple maintenance.
You ask what benefit derive women from their body trade in such places. It was just a free room, meals and maybe some proud that you do something useful for other people.
