In contrast, some modern gender researchers have challenged it entirely as the result of mistranslation and cultural slander. Authors have also interpreted evidence as secular prostitution administered in the temple under the patronage of fertility deities, not as an act of religious worship by itself. Mainstream historiography has traditionally considered it a probable reality, based on the abundance of ancient sources and chroniclers detailing its practices, although it has proved harder to differentiate between true prostitution and sacred sex without remuneration. The historicity of literal sacred prostitution, particularly in some places and periods, is a controversial topic within the academic world. Scholars prefer the terms " sacred sex" or "sacred sexual rites" in cases where payment for services is not involved. Sacred prostitution, temple prostitution, cult prostitution, and religious prostitution are rites consisting of paid intercourse performed in the context of religious worship, possibly as a form of fertility rite or divine marriage ( hieros gamos).
