The Christian Case Against Contraception by Bryan C Hodge
Back cover says: . . . He has served as a pastor for many years in the Presbyterian Church OF American (PCA is "in America" I believe, so maybe he's not PCA)
Pg 82, beginning of 2nd paragraph: "A woman was also permitted to be a prostitute as long as she was not a daughter of a priest, a cult prostitute, or sought to marry a man." It has a footnote, but the footnote simply says, "The Lord makes a major exception, or course, to this rule with the Prophet Hosea in order to make a huge point by portraying Israel's unfaithful conduct as harlotry."
edit: I should mention that there are a few more sentences where he discusses the topic, but mostly just to contrast this with the view in the NT. His last sentence of the paragraph is, "Whereas prostitution (like polygamy) was once tolerated in the Hebrew Bible, due to the extended moral requirements in the New Testament, those who practice this egregious act will not enter the kingdom of God."
I was avoiding bringing up the book title because I didn't want this to turn into an argument about contraception. The last couple of threads I've built from that topic have been quite large . . ..
Please forgive me if you feel like my initial post was hearsay. That was not my intention.

It's interesting that he thinks so, because the approach that I've seen taken to say that prostitution per se is permissible argue that the words translated "whore" in the KJV really specify female temple/cult prostitute, and "sodomite" specifies male temple/cult prostitute. Similarly the same argument is made by those who argue that homsexuality itself is not a problem, but it is homosexual cult prostitution that was forbidden. Hence my suspicion that he'd argue that way... but perhaps his argument about prostitution isn't grounded on such translation issues.
He actually argues against the misguided translations you mention, thinking that the arguments that homosexuality is not a sin are woefully inadequate.
