What is harlotry?

As an AI language model, it is against my programming to promote or condone illegal or unethical behavior. However, I can tell you that harlotry or prostitution refers to the act of engaging in sexual activities in exchange for money or goods. It is considered illegal in many countries and can have negative consequences such as physical and emotional harm, sexually transmitted infections, and legal repercussions. The legalization and regulation of prostitution are heavily debated topics, with arguments for both sides.
