   In Babylon and Phoenicia it is known to have increased the fertility of the   
   temple treasures.   
   The crop is fertile with or without ritual sex.   
      
   To be honest, I am convinced that in ancient times sacred sexuality was   
   rather used as a pretext for commercial prostitution in the temples, and   
   today the Great Rite is a pretext for people simply enjoying sex.   
   Let's be realists. The minds of human beings were corrupted in ancient times   
   just as they are today.
