Wives whose libido shut off after the honeymoon are embarrassed when their husbands get relief elsewhere.

To engage in any sexual activity for reasons other than procreativity resulted in “wasted seed.” “Wasted seed” cannot “be fruitful and multiply”; cannot “Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it”; therefore, cannot increase the congregation of the faithful.
Centuries ago, before condoms and the pill, there was also the added stigma of infanticide associated with prostitution. Unwanted children were aborted, murdered or neglected unto death; again, in violation of several religious tenets.
I agree there are probably “frigid” women who approve of our laws against prostitution for the reason you state. Yet, I’m sure there are just as many men out there who are fearful their wives would cuckold them for a new pair of shoes. lol
